How it feels
A strategic card-battling RPG with colorful hand-drawn art, where you assemble a party and build a deck to fight through mythical adventures with multiple endings.

What players say
Players praise the unique characters and variety of builds, but find the English translation broken, the mechanics too complex, and the tutorials lacking. Many say it is a competent Slay the Spire clone with an identity problem: so many archetypes that building a coherent deck feels luck-dependent. Long-time players hope development continues.
