Mejor no perder tu tiempo en este tipo de juegos que tiene mal sistema de guardado. ### 2/5 — Fun concept, bad execution *2024-08-01, version 1.225* Decent card game, but there is literally no reliable way to get new cards except for purchasing. And the single player campaign scales WAY too hard too fast. So you can only win if you pay for cards and pay immediately after starting. After about 2 hours, I was at a wall where I’d either grind a ton or spend money. ### 2/5 — I wanted to like it *2024-05-25, version 1.135* Cards power up way too much per upgrade. Makes it too hard to compete using skill and more about card levels. ### 3/5 — Okay TCG, more like Gâcha games *2025-01-01* Being an experienced TCG player (MtG, YGO, Pokémon, etc.) I was very excited when I saw an ad for this game. The core mechanics are enjoyable; though the game is not very well balanced. Some abilities are simply broken, and the only thing preventing you from abusing them is the need to obtain and upgrade the cards. Having a skill that can basically wipe out the opponent’s board for free is too powerful, even if balanced by the creature’s weak level at first. I’ll keep playing, but it kind of just makes me want to play Old School MtG… or a paper version of this with better rules **Developer response:** Hi Pk Archie, thanks for your detailed review. It's true that Legendary creatures are more powerful than others. Be sure to join the Discord if you want to suggest balance changes. Cheers, Midas. ### 3/5 — Keep at it *2024-12-22, version 1.405* Atta boy ### 4/5 — Master Duel meets Gwent *2025-01-26, version 1.475* That’s a basic general idea that comes to mind when I play this. It’s good but I can’t say it’s amazing. Synergies are bland and there isn’t any real approach to deep deck building. Strategy wise it’s rather boring. If you’re looking for a concept that has potential this is it, but it doesn’t fully reach it. I’d give it 3,5 if possible so I have it a 4. ### 4/5 — Great old school feel *2024-10-17* This game actually takes thought and strategy to win. It does get annoying when the match doesn’t end and you’ve been through your deck like 4 times but there’s a lot of different strategies and card types to choose from. This game is great so far and I love seeing you guys adding live duels too. Thank you and keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — GREAT game!! *2025-10-24, version 1.760* Love the concept and the gameplay is exciting and fun right away! Not greedy either, I’m more likely to spend money when I feel I don’t have to! They did everything right so far ### 5/5 — Best card battle game. ! *2025-09-07, version 1.702* This game right here, there is none like it, where else can you find Aztec mythology card game in action! From the mythology to the cultural side the details are a MesoAmerican masterpiece. This game keeps giving and I don’t have to Play to win! But because i support everything about this game I invest in purchases on the regular. This is a must have for card battle, card builder, pvp battles, resource collector, side quests and more! Developer don’t pull this game keep it coming, on a side note if these cards ever went physical or nft this would be a hit!!!!! No lie. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best card battle game. ! *2025-08-21* This game right here, there is none like it, where else can you find Aztec mythology card game in action! From the mythology to the cultural side the details are a MesoAmerican masterpiece. This game keeps give and I don’t have to Play to win! Bit because i support everything about this game i invest in purchases on the regular. This is a must have for card battle, card builder, pvp battles, resource collector, side quests and more! Developer don’t pull this game keep it coming, on a side note if these cards ever went physical or nft this would be a hit!!!!! No lie. ### 5/5 — What a great take on the genre. *2024-12-24, version 1.450* Love the artwork, love the gameplay, love the fact that it feels like a physical game and not an animation-bloated video game. Can’t wait for more content. ### 5/5 — Phenomenal card game! *2024-04-27, version 1.075* I’ve been looking for a new card game to get into and I finally found it! As someone who played modern yugioh this game is a nice change of pace! The game mechanics are easy to understand, card art is phenomenal and the game is very free to play! Some things I would like to see though is some background music as when I played the game there was no music playing and it felt kinda empty, I played Spotify but that’s something that needs to be added also for the whole going first and second system I feel like there should be a decision maker to decide who goes first or second like rock,paper scissors or a coin flip as sometimes game wins feels entirely based on rng and last thing is the arena/pvp system, I feel like there needs to be balance system while playing like if it’s possible you can make all cards maxed level while playing arena instead of having the same level as the campaign, I feel this way because let’s say some new player wants to try out quetzal and wants to do pvp mainly but they get WHOOPED and realize they have to grind to be able to play pvp to compete with the older players, Itll definitely not be as fun so I say only during PvP make all cards max level and balanced so new and older players can compete with each other. Besides those few things kudos for such a phenomenal card game to play and have fun in! I hope all goes well for this game! Much love and kisses! ### 5/5 — Generous game you don’t need to spend money *2024-04-25, version 1.075* Interesting mechanics and easy to level cards. You can buy pack just to support the devs but no need for fun game play --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
