Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
110 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I would say the game is not difficult to pick up, although the wonky English translations add some difficulty when it comes to learning some of the intricate mechanics (but that translation-interpretation part is also kind of fun tbh). (edit: translations are now pretty good)
Monetization
Players who bring up Monetization mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Character outfits are absolutely gorgeous, and are bought with premium currency (about $8 a piece).
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The roguelite is also surprisingly deep for a game that is mostly meant to be PvP.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's so much to learn and each character though with the same card pool plays so differently and with such different difficulties.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There are rewards for every level up, and every difficulty you clear the first time (I believe there are 10).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Decent BGM, charming graphics, and enough build diversity to keep you busy for a while.
