I've been playing this completely F2P for a couple of weeks now, if you really like Auto chess/Battlegrounds type games this might be for you. I love that you don't have to commit to longer sessions, you can start a game, drop it midway and return to it later. Graphics are typical for this type of 'app' game, bright, colourful, chirpy, nothing outstanding but pleasant to the eye. Gameplay is relatively simple but gets more strategic as you progress.

It's alot like hearthstone battlegrounds.
I like the gameplay way more, but there are pay to win elements like hero aquisition and relics.

nice game

I was a bit apprehensive about this game given how it looks like a Hearthstone Battlegrounds clone (and the game play absolutely is a clone), but a couple content creators I like were showing it off and I decided to give it a try.

First the positives. I'm a big fan of playing against AI instead of players. My biggest complaint with games like TFT or HS:BG is that you're dedicating 15-40 minutes of time to a series of matches. No bio break allowed, no emergencies matter. But here you can just step away whenever you'd like. That's pretty nice. And the game play itself is enjoyable.

But there are a lot of negatives.
1. You quickly hit a wall where you need gold to upgrade your dealers. I hit this at around 9 or 10 hours in I think, I'm not entirely sure, but honestly I felt such a wall came up pretty quickly.
2. You are given various currencies and it doesn't tell you what they are. I eventually figured out what they were, but it feels pretty bad that you can't click on the item for it to tell you what it's for.
3. While playing with the Gnomes faction, there are a lot of buffs you can give your units. You can click on a unit to see what buff types they have, but not what the actual buffs are.
4. Back to the Dealers. When unable to upgrade them, you will eventually hit an xp cap for them. So while I couldn't upgrade them, I could still play and build xp. But that apparently caps out at 1000 (and you need 100 to upgrade).
5. Just a bug, but looking for a guild/clan sucks. There didn't seem to be many there, you can only apply to 3 at once, and when it tells you to cancel an application to put another in, there's no way to cancel it, so you're stuck. (I'm told guilds are another source of gold.)

My #1 negative is really the kicker for me. When I play a game I like to feel progress. This game halts that progress (presumably to force you to spend). On the note of spending, the battle pass is $15, and it's one of those where the track alternates between free and paid, so I really don't see the value in that.
