Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
82 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
game runs smoothly, very well optimized you can set the frame rate to uncapped and the mechanics are fun BUT the game is very much PAY TO WIN due to its card upgrade mechanics, you can buy card packs and upgrade cards using money. a player that played for 5 years straight will loose hard vs a player that pulled out the wallet in the last 2 months.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This is cleverly designed grid based card game with effective, albeit simple, graphics that is utterly and completely ruined by greed-based publishing.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is phenomenal, and the chunky gameplay mechanics are immediately rewarding, while still leaving plenty of flexibility for unique strategy.
