Bugs and bad AI ruin excellent game
The AI is just terrible, even at what is supposedly level 22. It routinely loses via horrible blunders when victory is in its grasp.
I can’t ever make a human match. It claims 45 seconds but past day 1 with the game I’ve never matched.
Opening up new cards is incredibly slow. Like 5-10 games to unlock one card and you need 20-ish cards to create a new card mix. Paying to advance is absurdly inefficient and often too buggy to even work.
I highly recommend the physical card game version. The digital game is more like a beta. Not ready for release.
Wow, fail.

Hi mryuk, we tested the game on iPad ourselves and players have been playing in on their iPads as well. Can you give us some more details on the device you're using?
Not good

Hi! Thank you for your feedback! Could you describe in more detail what you mean? The game itself is actually designed around a kind of self-balancing bidding system, so card values are always situationally determined by the players.
Awesome and unique methinks
MASTERFUL.
Give it a go.
A couple things to know going in:
- This game gives you enough rope to hang yourself from turn 1. There is a TON to consider strategically, and one misstep can bury you.
- As you play, you’ll find far more interesting card combos than you see in the tutorial and in early games. Give it a little time.
Excellent Game (UX for iPad needs work)
Good strategy and tactics.

So then.. Why only ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️?
Because this game does not have auto orientation for iPad players.
Myself.. like most iPad users, hold our iPad’s in landscape mode, this game is only available in portrait.
That to me, means devs didn’t take the huge iPad populace into account, (Tim Cook reported) during 2020 Apple Keynote - 1 billion (or 500 million) iPads sold worldwide.
and so, I judge harshly when it comes to that, we are in 2021 and iPad is not a brand new concept.
Fix this, I’ll gladly upgrade to 5 star and I’ll delete this paragraph.

A HARMONY OF STRATEGY & TACTICS
On battlefield...
The cards are available for both opponents to purchase. These cards have simple mechanics, very EZ to understand what they do.
Once you comprehend the card nuances, and the purchasing mechanics... that’s when the far reaching implications of your strategy and or tactics start taking form in your mind (you start seeing a mental picture of where you have to go)
Once you grasp these dynamics (congrats) because that’s when you become a 4th dimensional being and start playing around with time and space - - because now you see farther.
this deeper sight is basically provides you the steps necessary that you need to take.
A very unique strategy game. Simple but deep. A battle of *decisions*
The person that gave the game one star with the subject: it’s horrible, must be a child or someone ignorant to strategy & tactic games.
They commented the game is horrible and didn’t list exactly what makes it horrible.
I can attest it’s not horrible.

Very fun so far
The character designs are cool. Sort of simple but addictive gameplay.
Horrible game
Response from developer
Hi there! May we ask how many matches you played? It could be that the appeal of the game only becomes clear after 3-5 matches since it's designed around really unique and innovative core mechanics. It's very different from other card battlers (to begin with, there are no private decks and you don't even hold a hand of cards) and really more of a dueling strategy game that happens to use cards as its components. The board game this digital version is based on has been refined for years, with multiple expansions and thousands of fans (many of which have played hundreds of matches and are still enjoying the game). So saying "no thought" was put into it seems a bit unfair at the very least. Maybe if you could more concretely tell us what your issues were, we could try improving the general app experience in those areas? Feel free to send feedback our way!
