What players say

Players are split on this Norse-themed deckbuilder city-builder. Many find the combination of genres intriguing but say the game gets repetitive fast, with too much randomness and not enough meaningful choices. The tutorial is over two hours long, and after a few runs players report that missions feel samey and the meta-progression is slow.
