What players say
Pretty fun game with a good amount of variety. Only thing I didn't enjoy is the energy system as recovering 2 out of 5 feels too limiting.
An excellent game with interesting mechanics and unique characters. With five to choose from, each with their own deck archetypes to fall into just like any deckbuilder, you'll be kept entertained as you traverse each stage and cut down every yao guai in your path! Hopefully... Seriously, I'm impressed by the game. It gets plenty challenging as you scale the difficulty, the character & card designs are lovely and...
starts out awesome then gets stupid. you dont have enough energy to keep up with what you are fighting. Man it was AWESOME for the first round of 3 bosses. They always got to get stupid. You get perfect draws or you die. No skill involved. Ran into a guy that hit for 82 damage every round and uninstalled. Was not elite, was not a boss. on normal settings. F this game.
