On day 1 it was indeed true that you had to buy characters with real money to unlock them, which is why I held off from playing the game on launch.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay-wise, it's autochess deckbuilding using a 3-faction system, with each faction able to support 3-4 'endgame' playstyles.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer

The roguelite is also surprisingly deep for a game that is mostly meant to be PvP.
