The gameplay is characterized by simple mechanics that are easy to learn but challenging to master, offering a strategic depth that keeps players engaged. While the implementation of triple triad-style mechanics in a roguelike format is praised for creating dynamic scenarios, some players find the core gameplay uninspired and express concerns about unclear tutorial elements and relic card functions. Overall, the game provides a fun and addictive experience, encouraging players to keep returning for "one more match."
- “The triple triad style gameplay is well implemented in a roguelike format.”
- “This simple mechanic creates a wide range of scenarios that can turn from overwhelming victory to crushing defeat in one ill-chosen move and back equally quickly.”
- “The mechanics are simple enough to learn but difficult to master, which lends well to the strategy aspect of the game.”
- “I didn't get around to the meta upgrades though - because after sweeping through two maps without any losses, I realized that I wouldn't be able to sustain interest in the core mechanics of the game.”

- “Aside from core mechanics, my only small issue was several relic cards being unclear in exactly how they would function and a couple of mechanics being unclear from the tutorial (such as when hero powers refresh).”
