Not like slay

Anyone who says it’s similar to slay does not know what they are talking about. It’s a fun game but not having any variety or choice into what you fight for each zone ruins the risk/reward which is half the fun of slay. Just eventually killing each monster and being stuck with three bonfires after an act finished is not satisfying .

Boring

Boring and repetitive. I looked at ratings and thought it would be fun. I played 10 min before I couldn’t bare it anymore.

I regret spending money on this game.

Extra note: additional content is behind a massive paywall. So pay for the base game AND pay for additional content.

Keyword descriptions

Great game, but only 4 stars for the lack of descriptions on keywords. While most of them have them, some do not. This means you have to back out the match to look it up. Other than that, well worth the money.

language

Hello, developer. How is the progress of Chinese localization development? There are still some parts that have not been translated during the game.

Absolutely loved this game

I don’t often write reviews, but I figured I needed to do one for this game because I thought it was awesome. Very much. Reminds me of like slay the spire or you know like a single player Hearthstone type of thing I did get a little boring after a while if you’ve gone through and beaten, a lot of things of different builds, but all in all pretty amazing game.
