Welcome to all guests

It took 10 hours to understand the base mechanics (somewhat). Add 100 hours to understand advanced strategies and builds. Probably add 50 more hours to be great at the game.

Going through the tutorial will probably only teach you the very basics, and while mechanics and complexity are added at a good pace, the game does need quite a bit of brainpower to understand correctly. If you are anything like me, you might spend a dozen minutes in each fight trying to understand how the enemies work.

The story and setting are amazing, enhanced with an OST by Mili that is simply perfect. Every character is memorable and relatable, and the story of even minor characters bring with them a flurry of emotions. I would even say it is hard not to cheer for some of them when you have to fight them.

Near the end of the game, finishing any fight would leave me exhausted but immensely happy that I managed to handle what the game threw at me. While the stakes are always low and you can start over any fight really quickly, the tension was always high for me.

Would recommend if you enjoy deckbuilding to the highest degree

yup, that's what I meant :p

Take it with a grain of salt though, probably people can learn the game far faster than i did.

So from my deduction, considering you said and I quote "10 hours to understand the base mechanics
(somewhat). Add 100 hours to understand advanced strategies and builds. Add 50 more hours to be great at the game" which is 160 hours roughly, yet you only have 129 hours, am I wrong to assume you aren't that "great at the game"

Take this as a joke seriously this is satire
