Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Pretty good core, i could see this game being great if the devs keep at it. I feel like its missing choice, a sense of progression, and some sort of baseline deck creation. No branching choices during a run makes it feel linear and kills…”
“Knowing if you win or lose a fight before it starts is not a fun concept for a game. Enemy attacks are deterministic, if you have the answers in your deck -> you win if not -> you lose If your options for manipulating the board were less…”
