Summary

This is a marmite game in that some will love it and some will hate it. For me personally, I love marmite but the game is straight down the middle. The look and idea of card abilities are implemented well and look fantastic. The parts I don’t like are only two levels and 1v1 and 2v2, it’s not that fun playing it like that every time. Yes, bots are in but the progress is so restricted that it’s almost obsolete. Gaining new characters and cards is slow and requires a lot of playtime and whilst the games are relatively quick, it’s not always fun to play with its claustrophobic corridors and small deck size. I’m just waiting to see how a few updates or two could really set it off but for now, I’m going to say it’s a fine little thing to play with friends… Occasionally.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
