How it feels

A methodical deck-building journey where you gradually power up your hero by collecting cards and crafting legendary loot through quests

What players say

Players are split on this one. Many praise the class system and lack of pay-to-win, but just as many report severe balancing problems and a grind wall. The campaign is unfinished, with the second chapter missing. Difficulty spikes and enemy resistances often force specific deck builds or make fights feel unfair.
