Ratings and reviews

The game is ok and the controls are good. I like the fact y'all fixed the reconnection issues. However, I'd like to talk about addressing the structure of the weapons and trinkets. Seems like the witches items are so expensive that the earlier items seem redundant. Like Pazuzu's eye. Also The weapons, especially The 2handed ones seemingly have the same effects. Like for example, none of her 2handed weapons regenerate AP. The effects of the weapons and trinkets need more range. How come the berserker's blood drinker doesn't stack? It is called the blood drinker, right? If y'all gonna make the items so expensive, then how bout increasing the resale threshold.. Like to maybe 2.5k. All the items that are 1k and less are kinda weak. We should be able to fully exploit the potential of the items and characters...

Starts quicker then most other card duel strategy games due to the way this game does 'mana', but the trade-off is that after turn 11, you are capped. The set decks are nice. You get to pick 4 pieces of gear and pick from a few classes. To be honest, the class perks are very 'meh'. The real difference is in the decks, and even then probably half the cards are the same. Overall, not a bad game, but not my cup of tea. Oh, and very little pay to win(the 4 items per class are all you could buy)

I enjoy this deck-building game, I am just lacking for more. Instead of editing your deck, you get do edit your gear. Should I use a sword and shield and play defensively or use two weapons to shred the enemy? And yet, due to limits in weapon choices, after a while this unique gameplay difference starts lacking. I would give this game 5 stars if they had even more weapon variety. Maybe an off hand with great stat bonuses that doesn't attack or something similar.
