### 1/5 — Fun, Lots of Potential, Completely Dead

*2022-01-14, version 1.0.18*

Abandoned by devs and has no players. No one to play with (and no option to play against AI) after completing the tutorial. This could have been so much fun, but alas…

### 1/5 — No one plays

*2020-08-15, version 1.0.18*

Game seems dead. Very, very long wait time for matches.

### 2/5 — Fun concept, dead game

*2020-02-01, version 1.0.18*

Downloaded this, played through the tutorial, thought it was a lot of fun. Problem is no one apparently plays this game anymore so you can’t actually play it once you finish the tutorial. Last update for this game was 9 months ago.

### 5/5 — Fast paced card game

*2019-03-24, version 1.0*

Faced paced multiplayer card game. Flashy satisfying graphics. Had one or two crashes but overall pretty good. Could probably use some balancing on the factions as I only ever some seem fairly rarely used... Hopefully we see some expansions and updates.

### 5/5 — Cool Game

*2019-03-23, version 1.0*

This game’s pretty dope

I like the graphics and game play

It’s pretty interactive and fun!

### 1/5 — The app crashes on open

*2019-03-21, version 1.0*

It crashes and exits 1 second right after.
