Played 4-5 times, beat the game with both decks.
Very fun game. I honestly didnt know what to expect when going into it and was pleasently surprised. Every encounter needs a specific strategy to be defeated and finding them out and executing them properly is very satisfying. I love that the last boss was a janny and had fitting attacks, super fun.
Some things that confused me a bit while playing:
- Any post can be replied with any other post. I had "please respond" and always found it annoying to play since I only had 1 card that could target it and not destroy it (the sonic card) and then randomly found out that any post could reply to it, making the card much better.
- Money and when it could be used. When getting money in a match, it appeared like 0 + 15. This was really confusing, why not just 15? Also the buy menu didnt look any different when I could buy something than when I couldn't.
- The cards images. When playing card games I already know inside out, I'm used to see their images instead of reading their titles. It is faster and more intuitive. But all cards here share this AI generated portrait, which makes it really difficult to differentiate between cards of the same emoji. It makes playing a lot slower than it should, since I need to take time to read what it does to know if they can be used or not.
- The 0 cost draw 1, give your opponent 5 eyes is a curse. Most of the time I let it rot in my hand unless I have some "when a card is played" effect on the board. All the other times I just wished I could replace it with anything else.
This game is really cool, I'm looking forward for what other combats you can put in it.
