### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-01-12*

What a cool and interesting game

### 1/5 — Unforgiving

*2025-12-22*

Don’t buy this if you get at all frustrated with games. 

After replaying my current region more than a dozen times, literally memorizing all the cards and paths, I’m still stymied and can’t progress. Maybe I should just start over and make different storyline choices, but can’t bring myself to throw away all that time getting to this last level. Certain play mechanics, like not being able to pre-arrange battle order, and not being able to replay a region within a level are just poor.

### 1/5 — Brutal

*2025-12-12*

Tough game. Deleted after 45 mins of trying.

### 5/5 — Add cloud archive

*2025-12-11*

The game is good, but there is no cloud archiving, and switching devices cannot be seamlessly connected. Please add cloud archiving in the future.

### 3/5 — Pas de son

*2025-12-01*

Je n’ai pas de son dans le jeu depuis un iPad, est il possible de venir en aide ? J’adore le jeu mais impossibles d’avoir du son’ j’ai déjà essayé de le re installer et rien ne change.

### 5/5 — Super

*2025-11-16*

Histoire et gameplay vraiment cool. Hâte de voir les impacts des différents choix

### 3/5 — Fantastic game with one major flaw

*2025-11-16*

If you fail halfway through a mission, even if you go to a different region during the mission, you’re reset back to the beginning of the mission. For missions that take 20-30 minutes per region, I refuse to redo almost an hour of mission progress. Please fix the save progress and I would give it 5 stars. At a minimum, it should save my progress to the start of each region, NOT the start of the entire mission.

### 1/5 — Boring game.

*2025-11-08*

Don’t bother with this one.  Lacks pace, and action.

### 5/5 — So fun! The art is amazing

*2025-10-18*

I love the game a lot- i think theres a few issues with the card mechanics(like, the card physics themselves- the card you’re hovering over not pulling to the front, sometimes the cards will be unselectable, etc-) but it doesn’t pull me out of the game! I actually could see using this same engine for more stories and expanding the world of volepain and his buddies- the studio’s creativity makes me think it could be a super successful series

### 3/5 — Repetitive gameplay

*2025-09-10*

Unlike the rogue like deck builders on the market this game is completely story driven. The stories interesting, and the consequences of your choices and actions is a lot of fun to play with.

Level progression itself though is just cycling through the same cards until you reach your destination. Combat is optional, but usually you just end up throwing all your resources just to end it without an actual fight. All in all the gameplay itself is lacking and you quickly feel the fatigue of the cyclic nature of the cards.
