Ratings and reviews

Horribly buggy, you will lose games from a bug locking you into an animation, then you clock out unable to do anything for the rest of the game, but your opponent will be able to play as normal. The worst part of this garbage design is that if you exit the game (as an attempt to clear the bug), you will not be able to rejoin your current game as it considers it a loss. Other games, like hearthstone, don't do this. Granted hearthstone has far fewer bugs. These issues are common, apparently.

I was having a good time with this game when I first downloaded it, but it's like it slowly breaks down the longer it's on your device. It worked fine 3 weeks ago, but now every match I play bugs out. Card animations freeze and time you out of your turn, the game in general freezes so you have to close the whole app, drawing cards that have no art and can't be played, and most recently the player preview screen freezes while the match continues in the background making you unable to play at all

Game keeps crashing during ranked matches as I'm about to win. I don't know if it's the other user force quitting from the game and causing mine to freeze or if it's a bug with the game, either way it's super annoying and lowers my rank for "quitting". Also lacks a lot of QOL features and makes it difficult to find what you want to look for (i.e. specific bundles in the shop or your owned cards). Card previews on mobile are also tiny, clicking to enlarge doesn't really help much.
