Once the numerous systems click into place the gameplay ramps up with a lot of variety of play and customization.

I've seen a couple of negative reviews about this game and the more I think about it, the more I feel that I need to explain why I disagree. In short, I think this game is really good most of the time. Interestingly enough, excelling in areas that it's often criticized for.

First of all UI: Most of the UI is excellent. The game is very complex, but the UI makes it easy to understand what is going on most of the time. Both feedback to the player as well as transparency (which are the things that most games struggle with) are really well executed... But there are some quirks. Most notably that you can't sort your deck, since the implementation is a stack. (The card that is added last, will be furthest down). It's an unusual implementation for this kind of game, which is annoying enough for some other users to give it a bad review. I agree that it should have been implemented differently, but the rest of UI is so well executed that I still think that it's great overall.

Balance: Some other reviews mentions that most of the time it's a cakewalk until you get to a enemy that you can't defeat... And well, yes, it happens. However, it's pretty clear which encounters are difficult, so you know what's coming. The thing is that at the moment of the writing (about 10 hours in if I remove the time I was idling with this game on), I had 4 moments of "Oh s**t, I'm totally screwed!!!", just to realize, that if I only do this, then this, then this, I could make it... just to overcome the original peril. These moments are often what people talks about in highly praised games, and are a sign of excellent balance. When it comes to "cakewalk and random death", mentioned in other reviews... Just as with UI, The game is amazingly well executed most of the time, falling short occasionally, and given negative reviews for those times.

And finally aesthetics: Consistently beautiful and cute. Love it.

pretty fun game, hope there are 3d version of the heros performing the card action tho
