What players say
Players praise the innovative system of building custom cards from triggers and modifiers, comparing it to Final Fantasy's materia. Many love the atmospheric art and music. However, players are divided on balance: some find every choice obvious and meta progression painfully slow, while others find the challenge rewarding and runs endlessly varied.
