The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.

Why players love itThings to know
58% of themes are praise300 helpful reviews42% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
143 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Because of the variety of playstyles offered by the characters, the only way you will hit a runt is by only playing one character and one deck.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat does strong at first, in particular in the challenge area, and yet the game is still fair.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The character design is very good and each champion has its strenghs and weaknesses that make the game way more varied
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty is hard but fair as you eventually learn what the modifiers do and start to unlock more cards to add to your deck.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Good sound design and solid, if somewhat silly voice acting ensure that you'll always be suitably entertained, and whilst the graphics aren't going to blow you away, on a good rig they're decently pretty and they run at a smooth rate.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And also you could play with friends in Co-op (which you can't in SHOWDOWN).
