How it feels

A deliberate blend of card-driven tactics and turn-based combat, where you explore a mystical board game world and carefully build your deck as a samurai-mage.

What players say

Players praise the core deckbuilding and tactical board-game combat, but many report game-breaking bugs that corrupt saves or break missions. The developers have not responded to bug reports, leading to a sense of abandonment. Difficulty is low for the genre, which some players find disappointing.
