The gameplay is characterized by polished mechanics and a charming art style, making it enjoyable and accessible, yet challenging to master. While it offers a solid foundation with fun tactics and resource management elements, players note a current lack of content and replayability, suggesting that future updates could enhance the experience significantly. Overall, it stands out in the tactical deckbuilding genre, appealing primarily to hardcore fans while remaining promising for broader audiences.
“This is a quality early access with polished mechanics and presentation.”
“It's very pleasant to look at from the art style, with mechanics that are easy to understand but hard to master.”
“Great mechanics, great polish, just a fantastic game.”
“A good tactics game, but I hope the devs bring more bosses and randomize the roguelike gameplay more.”
“The polish and gameplay ideas are there, so the question from here is just the amount of content it ends up with, which is the best kind of place for an early access game to be, I think.”
“In a sea of upcoming turn-based tactical deckbuilders, Zor stands out with its implementation of survival and resource management mechanics!”

Overall, the game's replayability is currently limited due to its short length and lack of diverse content, despite the inclusion of a procedurally generated mode. While some players find value in attempting higher difficulty settings, many feel that the experience lacks depth for repeated playthroughs. Future updates and progression systems may enhance replayability, but as it stands, it offers a basic foundation with potential for improvement.
“It's very appropriately priced, with immense replay value even in this form, and the EA plans sound ambitious.”
“[b] A great baseline of mechanics and fun gameplay, but currently a short and not so replayable experience. [/b]”
“I'll add more to the review once the new progression system is in - currently, replay value is a bit limited.”
“A great baseline of mechanics and fun gameplay, but currently a short and not very replayable experience.”
“Unfortunately, the game is really short, and even with its procedurally generated 'pilgrimage mode', it does not offer much in the way of replayability aside from re-trying again and again to overcome some of the higher difficulty settings.”
