“I might be being unfair, but I was disappointed that it isn’t like MegaMan Battle Network. It’s not a bad game, but it can be misleading. Play the demo to decide, but anyone expecting it to be similar will be disappointed.”
“It's fun on the demo but only after buying this game then I realized I can't edit deck, if you're fine with rng card games then give it a try otherwise think again.”
