    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a blend of straightforward mechanics and strategic complexity, appealing to players seeking depth. However, the lack of tooltips for card mechanics can hinder accessibility, and while the game offers a fresh take on traditional card games, it may alienate those looking for a more mainstream experience. Overall, the mechanics are innovative and engaging, complemented by impressive artwork.

    • “The game mechanics seem relatively straightforward but with enough complexity to be interesting strategically.”
    • “It's a hard game, which is a fresh take compared to other popular and simplistic mechanics in trading card games.”
    • “Artwork is great, mechanics are designed to encourage deeper thinking, and the story seems to be really interesting.”
    • “Trying to be complicated in everything—gameplay, terms, etc.—really turned this away from mainstream.”
    • “Bad gameplay.”
    • “Needs tooltip option for card mechanics.”
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally regarded as decent, with unique and well-executed artwork that features a sinister, psychedelic quality. However, the user interface for card interaction is criticized for being awkward and sometimes unresponsive, detracting from the overall experience. While the visuals are a highlight, some players feel the artwork lacks originality due to its recycling across multiple cards.

    • “The artwork has a sinister, psychedelic quality and illuminates vast ideas from 'the man' and rebellion to technology and spirituality and is definitely the highlight of the experience.”
    • “Artwork is great, mechanics designed to think a little bit more and story seems to be really interesting.”
    • “It has one of the most action-packed card game mechanics I have ever seen, and don't even get me started with the artwork.”
    • “- This is a minor nitpick, but the UI visuals for looking at a card in your hand and then dragging that card out into play seemed a bit awkward, and it was sometimes difficult to grab the proper card that you clicked on from your hand.”
    • “Nothing new, just another MTG/Hearthstone clone with decent artwork.”
    • “While the artwork is unique and well done, it has been recycled on multiple cards.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect has received mixed feedback; while some players feel the absence of a traditional campaign or career mode is disappointing, others appreciate the intriguing storylines that are present but somewhat underutilized. Recent updates, including thematic leagues and faction reputation, are seen as positive steps towards enhancing the narrative experience. Overall, the artwork and mechanics are praised, suggesting that the story has potential for further development.

    • “Storylines, a huge factor from the original TCG, are still there but a little left aside or hidden. Thankfully, they're making good improvements with the recent addition of thematic leagues and tournaments, as well as faction reputation.”
    • “Artwork is great, mechanics are designed to encourage deeper thinking, and the story seems to be really interesting.”
    • “The lack of a story, career, or campaign is a turn-off for me.”
    • “Needs AI missions for each of the factions to give the feel and background playstyles.”
    • “Storylines, a huge factor from the original TCG, are still there but a little left aside or hidden. Thankfully, they're making good improvements about it with the recent addition of thematic leagues and tournaments as well as faction reputation.”

    • “Buggy, slow, and poor English translation.”
    • “Lots to improve; at least the art is pretty stunning. I wanted to play this with a better interface, not a buggy one. There is a lack of basic animations, but instead of that, it's a pretty funny and different game. I will recommend it because over time this can only get better.”
