User reviews

Love to buy it.

I love that I could just buy the game and play. Hate ads. Hate pay2play.

Good game

Game itself is fun, but the new hero has been coming out for years, will we ever see it?

Mixed feelings up about the business model, can do a lot for free, but would prefer a purchase game with no micro transactions or adds.

Very Satisfying

Pretty simple game with lots of fun interactions between cards. One of my favorite deck builders for how casual it is.

Fun and addictive

It’s a bit like Slay the spire but a lot of pop up ads and transactions. F2P can be done but very grindy. If you’re bored, play it.

Great game

I love this game. If you want a card, slay the spire vibe, rouge-like , than this is the game for you. It’s an awesome game but I can’t quite give it a full five stars just yet. There are still some things it needs to fix. I am not very far into the game yet but the big thing it needs to do is explain a little more in the tutorial. The game doesn’t really explain the fury aspect well on the first cheater and how it works and it does tell you that you can switch target. I only found out about those two things after trial and error. Otherwise, the game is great, I love the art style, and the content is amazing.
