The overall gameplay and design is excellent, and this game could very well go places. Unfortunately, the experience is somewhat ruined by numerous issues.
Several in-game visuals are broken, from an annoying blob of purple for the Dazed condition to a massive eye-searing wall of errors if you are set on fire.
Status effects in general have so many issues it isn’t funny. Many effects are poorly described, most effect cards don’t even properly display their durations, and worst of all is that the majority of effects do not display any form of marker to verify they were applied and for how long, which makes the previous issue infinitely worse.
The worst issue of all, however, is that the brilliant card upgrade system does not work. At all. This can be easily seen by upgrading the basic Gallop card to no longer give you Tired…. Only it still does.
And of course, grammar problems literally everywhere. Which exacerbates all issues.
This could be a great game, but I see it’s four years old now. While I cannot know how much updating has occurred within that period, I sincerely hope that the creator intends to correct these problems, sooner rather than later. In the meantime, I cannot in good conscience play this game when there are so many other deckbuilders out there who do not suffer from endemic, system-wide issues like these.
