Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
At the time of this writing I've played about 12 hours, and I think I might play for another 12 or so depending on how interesting the other characters play.
98 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
[Edit 12/2025: certain QoL issues with replayability were addressed quite well in the most recent patch, and so I removed the part of the review complaining about that.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
What might seem like a simple parody of E-Sports and live service PVP games on the surface actually hides and incredibly complex and unique game that I personally would put near the level of something like Balatro.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The interface is pretty solid (I have a couple of notes below, but they're minor) and it works great on or offline.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Servers and matchmaking
Players who bring up Servers and matchmaking mostly praise it.
The game operates like a piece of interactive satire, poking fun at how players often end up grinding, optimizing, and obsessing over statistics in games that still depend heavily on luck, matchmaking variance, or hidden systems.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
It very quickly changes from a coin flipping e-sport to a "skill tree optimization" puzzle game.
