  • gameplay
    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its depth and unique mechanics, offering a fun and engaging experience, especially for fans of the Warhammer 40k universe. However, many players express frustration with significant connectivity issues, lag, and a perceived pay-to-win model that detracts from the overall enjoyment. While the mechanics are considered innovative and rewarding, the execution suffers from technical problems that hinder the gameplay experience.

    • “I love the 40k universe and this card game; its mechanics click well and is a blast to play once you get the hang of it.”
    • “The game truly rewards your activity and deck-building skills (plus smart gameplay, of course) instead of throwing money at the screen and getting all done for you.”
    • “The mechanics are deeper than you'd expect, and it has both a high skill ceiling and a low skill floor.”
    • “The game fails to keep me playing - both through its non-conducive reward mechanics as well as its haywire monetization.”
    • “It's not an awful game, but the mechanics need some work.”
  • stability
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is severely lacking, with users reporting frequent crashes, freezes, and numerous bugs that hinder gameplay. Many players express frustration over the game's unplayable state, citing issues like UI freezes during battles and the need for constant restarts. Despite its potential, the overall experience is marred by persistent technical problems that the developers have yet to adequately address.

    • “The concept of the game is good, but in its current state it's unplayable; lags, freezes, bugs, etc. The developers don't seem to care about fixing it.”
    • “It constantly crashes, freezes, and has bugs galore.”
    • “Fun game when it works, but it is a glitchy, buggy mess of a game right now.”
  • optimization
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is severely lacking, with users reporting significant performance issues such as stuttering, freezing, and overall unplayability, even on capable hardware. Many reviewers express disappointment, stating that the poor optimization detracts from the game's potential and tarnishes the Warhammer brand. Overall, the consensus is that the game requires urgent optimization to improve its performance.

    • “It's a good game, but the people running it seem to have a very difficult time getting it to run smoothly, especially on PC.”
    • “My PC is more than capable of running this game, but it does not seem to be optimized.”
    • “The performance issues are impossible to get around.”
    • “Runs like cold sludge, needs to be optimized badly.”
    • “Game has serious issues with performance, with screens hanging and freezing and generally running at 1/100th of reasonable.”
    • “My PC is more than capable to run this game, but it does not seem to be optimized.”
  • monetization
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it fair and generous in providing free content, while others criticize it as predatory and overly aggressive, featuring constant ads and a frustrating pay-to-win dynamic. Many feel that the monetization model detracts from the overall enjoyment and competitiveness of the game, leading to a negative experience despite its potential. Overall, the game's monetization strategy appears to be a significant point of contention among players.

    • “The monetization is okay; the game showers you with free stuff, and I never felt I needed to pay.”
    • “I honestly thought this level of predatory monetization had long since fallen out of favor even on smartphones, but I guess I was mistaken.”
    • “There could be a really fun game here, but I'm afraid the monetization model and pseudo-competitive design, playing wallet vs. wallet, really do their best to discourage any sort of dabbling.”
    • “It's an interesting game marred by gross monetization and poor performance.”
    • “Extremely predatory in terms of monetization, with punishing matchmaking and solo play.”
    • “Since the original post they really dialed up the monetization to some of the worst I have seen in gaming.”
  • story
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is enriched by emergent storytelling through character interactions and campaign missions that engage players. While the early game lacks immediate satisfaction, players are motivated to collect cards, each accompanied by lore that deepens the Warhammer 40k universe. However, the leveling system can feel tedious, as it relies heavily on upgrading cards and managing resources.

    • “The emergent storytelling of who you're fighting is amusing.”
    • “Also, the campaign missions are interesting and worth the time.”
    • “One of the great things about this is that every card has some lore on the back, thus building the 40k backstory in the game.”
    • “There is no satisfaction to be had in the early parts of the game, but I stuck with it for a week completing the daily missions and participating in events to collect cards.”
    • “The game has no qualms about matching you up with players who are way higher level than you, once you've beaten the tutorial missions.”
    • “The three daily missions reward you with some player experience, but the bulk of your leveling early on will be happening through upgrading cards by using duplicates, which costs gold as well as the duplicates you've painstakingly earned in the first place.”
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are generally praised for their high quality and polish, particularly the use of actual photos of Games Workshop miniatures, which enhances the visual appeal. However, some users feel that the comic-style graphics do not fit the dark tone of the Warhammer 40k universe. Overall, the game maintains a strong visual presentation, supported by regular updates that align with physical releases.

    • “Collecting cards is pretty fun because the artwork is actual photos of Games Workshop miniatures.”
    • “All the graphics and effects are very polished.”
    • “Good game, good graphics, simple and efficient UI/UX.”
    • “I think for the dark Warhammer 40k universe, the comic graphics are not suitable.”
    • “Given that this game, similar to Horus Heresy Legions, derives 100% of its artwork from Games Workshop's stockpile of stock photography, I must say that as a business model it is an excellent one as the art portion and presentation was already taken care of by GW and turned this game into a sequence of exchanging the players' cash for a photograph of GW miniatures.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating its quality, though many prefer to mute it while engaging with other audio content. Overall, it complements the casual card game experience but is not the primary focus for most users.

    • “The music is nice, although I usually have the game muted and play it while listening to audiobooks, music, or podcasts.”
    • “The music is good, and some aspects of the graphics are enjoyable.”
    • “Just a casual card game like any other, but the music is good; I give them that.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is often derived from absurd situations, such as unexpected mishaps during matches, and the irony of players being charged high prices for subpar content while facing ongoing game stability issues.

    • “I had a funny match that can only be described as 'accidentally kicked the titan manufactorum.'”
    • “The fact that they ask for hundreds of dollars for mediocre cards is hilarious when they refuse to create a stable game.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a mix of frustration and emotional engagement, noting that while the gameplay is enjoyable, technical issues detract from the overall experience, creating a bittersweet emotional roller coaster.

    • “Emotional roller coaster.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be heavily influenced by pay-to-win mechanics, with energy limits restricting the ability to farm effectively, leading to frustration over the grind required for progression.

    • “As pay-to-win and grindy as you can imagine.”
    • “The energy limits players from farming the weekly campaign effectively.”
