had a blast playing co-op with friends in this game. the map design is top-notch, especially that snowy one where you can set up ambushes. spent over 20 hours just experimenting with different builds and finding combos. every session feels fresh, and the mechanics keep you on your toes. can't wait for the next update!
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'm not happy to write this review, the game is good and well made, every cards has his lore and voice acting, the three boards mechanics is not so complicated and you can master it after a couple of hours (the time you need to practice with the most common cards).
