Best Game Yet!

I can’t believe it exists for so long and I’m just discovering it now, it’s really fun and doesn’t feel like it’s rushing you to pay to win, the art style is awesome and very appealing, just an overall great game that really makes you think…hope it will get the exposure it deserves ✌🏼

Lovely and fair

Love this game, so unique , unlike any other card game have played, very fair and based on skill not on other factors

Offline Version

Will there be an offline version of this game in the future? I enjoy it a lot and would like an offline, paid, and full version of this game in case it ever gets taken off from the App Store in the future.

Why

I am the player named unique I love it because most cards I like Joe the bear

Unbalanced?

SUPER FUN GAME. I’ve played over 80 hours got all the classes unlocked. I’ve noticed that the cyber and distortion is highly abused (ranked matches just ppl spamming the specials not even creative decks just copy and paste) also let’s say I’m not good at the game I’ve made other decks & play all the classes if I’m not using the later cards or the later characters the starting three main characters can’t keep up. Also it maybe that I’m just running into alot of those players they seem to be the two main classes everyone uses.
