I've been playing this update-to-update since release and its been great. Personally I find the difficulty on the low side with a couple exceptions but that's mostly because I have extremely optimised decks and teams through familiarity with deckbuilding and games like Darkest Dungeon.
Speed dice mechanics aren't that hard to wrap your head around now and once you understand them and travel times between fights you can bend turns to your will.
Updates are very regular, with updates coming at least once a week so far and PM have made efforts to cut down on any grinding, it's in a good spot now that they fixed the bug with multiple books not getting dropped and Objet grade pages being easier to get, it's not that hard to get strong decks for your current progress and it's nice when you've put together a deck and it works.
Personally I think the game should be overall a bit harder than it is right now, but I think that's getting fixed as can be seen with the most recent update as of writing.

Considering my current playtime, I'd say the game is worth it.
