Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
99 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As far as I know, there will be no progression wipes from here on out, but just know that the devs have no intention of making any time in the game feel worthless.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is also really cool, definitely distinctive and as more non-placeholder models are added to the game it keeps looking cooler.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It had a fun mix of hex space miniature combat along with TCG deckbuilding.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice work is solid, some stuff is really cringey but some of it is great too, and a lot of the minions have a lot of character for such a small part of the game.
