Simpler auto chess

(another update: ok the game does have factions, but they aren't unlocked until you get to rank 500, which I think means you have to win 20 games. However, the unit descriptions list two factions, but I only saw one being shown in battle. So why are two listed in the descriptions in the Deck tab??
And speaking of the Deck tab, I don't understand a lot of that - why are some units in the collection not available in the Deck 1? And what are leaders? What do those bonuses mean? Again, not enough information about the rules of the game. Really need a guide!)

(update: couple other things that are ridiculous - in Choose Your Fate mode, the power up that fills your empty spots with birds or spiders is WAY OP - it means an automatic win for that round. That needs to be nerfed. Second, $10 to unlock 1 unit in your collection??? When you're not even guaranteed to get to use it in game?? Screw that. The game may be fun, but that's just plain greedy. Lowering my rating just for that.)

I like that this game doesn't have as much complexity as other auto chess games. Only played an hour or two so far, but seems fun. However, there are things I don't understand (like the unit colors - is that just rarity?), and I feel like the only reason I'm picking one unit over another in a battle is based on its cost, whether it can be matched with one I already have, and maybe whether it's been leveled up in my deck (another thing I'm not sure I get since you're playing with more units than just the ones in your deck - I guess that's in case they're dealt, so then you get leveled up versions?). Most auto chess games have factions with synergies - this doesn't seem to have that? There's no in game rules, and most of the tutorials are locked until you've played lots of games - why would you not want your players to fully understand your game??

Pretty good game

I like the game so far as it reminds me of auto chess somehow. Auto chess is still my favorite game and I figured I give this one a try. Just don’t like it when you fused a character and it lags after you fuse them as a screen pauses and what’s worse that there’s a timer and can’t seem to do nothing to take the screens off when you fuse a character not sure if you know what I mean. Other than that it’s pretty and easy to get the hang of. Hope you can fix this issue it pretty annoying

Fun but p2w and bad rewards

Game is fun, synergies and characters are cool but man do they want you to pay up. You only get 4 pack rewards per DAY! You can get many more if you want to pay for the pass. Otherwise devs seem like they want you to play just 4 times a day bc after that you don’t really get anything unless it’s for other quests. I’ll keep playing for a bit to see if anything changes but as it is now I don’t recommend simply bc the mechanics this game has actually incentivize you to play less somehow O.o

Une pépite

Sûrement Le meilleur jeu de l’année, je ne joue plus qu’à ce jeu, totalement addictif, je le conseil fortement, les développeurs sont réactifs. Les MAJ sont fréquentes et les problèmes de connexions sont résolut. Superbe jeu! Félicitation à vous les devs!! Je vous tir mon chapeau

Response from developer

Merci pour les 4 étoiles ! Désolés pour les déconnexions, on s'en occupe. N'hésite pas à écrire à support@reflection.games avec le modèle de ton appareil pour que notre équipe puisse regarder ça. On espère mériter la 5e étoile bientôt !

Upgrades

Progression is so slow, you can’t upgrade your cards and are essentially playing with lvl 0 cards for a very long time.
