Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.

Very Positive · 82%2018

US Steam price, checked 5 h ago

The verdict

A charming, nostalgic turn-based card MMO with real depth, but free play is only a short demo and the Steam login is broken for many. Skip it if you won't pay a subscription.

Great for

Nostalgic returning players and friends or families who like turn-based card combat and will pay for a membership

Main risk

Only a few hours are free, then you need a roughly $10/month membership or costly zone purchases

What changed in the last 30 days

Many recent negative reviews come from players who installed the game for a Discord orbs quest. Their new accounts were locked as suspicious, and Steam wouldn't accept website accounts. This seems to explain the dip.

Strategic turn-based card combat

Mentioned in ~1 in 8 positive reviews

“The turn-based card combat is actually strategic, especially in later worlds when fights get harder and you really have to think about blades, traps, shields, and team synergy.”
