    The gameplay of this card battler and deck builder is characterized by a unique and fresh mechanic set against a grimdark atmosphere, but it suffers from a steep learning curve and overwhelming complexity.

Despite its charm and immersive narrative, the obscure mechanics can detract from the overall experience, leaving some players feeling that the game doesn't fully deliver on its potential.

    • “Learning curve is a little steep, but I'm super pleased to see a genuinely fresh card game mechanic--don't worry you get better cards that give you better board control over time!”
    • “Yes, the gameplay can seem difficult at times, but I found there are enough checkpoints to even out the difficulty.”
