What players say

Players are split on the game's potential but united in frustration over the tutorial and interface. Many cannot learn to play at all, citing a one-page guide and unclear rules, while a few who pushed through find a rewarding but difficult deckbuilding strategy game. Frequent crashes add to the friction.
