« Suffers from the usual CCG curse, just worse, since there arent ranks: As a new player, you will face players with perfectly refined decks full of epics and legendaries. Its as boring, as it is frustrating. »👎 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 2 h played« API error makes the game unplayable, unable to continue further. Also, do you ever wish you had MTG but worse, this game got you covered. But it has funny fungi »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 0 h played« Decent tcg that tries to cram in the "latest thing" slay the spire ripoff in an excuse of a "campaign" mode. I suspect most of the "players" are AI, and I can't even find the game on a search of Steamcharts. »👎 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 92 h played« I was able to play this game early on and it was so much fun!! The game play and mechanics are so much fun if you like card games!! Hope you enjoy if you get it! »👍 anonymous review · Jun 2026 · 2 h played« This game has so many cool features I have never seen in a digital TCG before. They make it almost like IRL cards with a lot of cool digital only features. Great campaign, Awesome art, wonderful music....man this is a TCG for the ages. »👍 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 17 h played
