Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed reviews: players enjoy the dark card battling and nostalgia, but bugs, loading times and a tiny fixed window weigh heavily against it.

Many players enjoy the card battling itself: building decks around characters with tragic backstories, unlocking their skills and reading their stories. The gothic, anime-styled art and the nostalgia for the old Facebook version come up often. Against that, many reviewers report freezes, crashes, stuck loading screens that can take very long, and problems on Mac. Many also say the window cannot be resized or set to fullscreen, which makes text hard to read. Some players criticise the gacha pulls and the grind for cards, and a few find the PvP matchmaking and the quests repetitive. Recent reviews are more negative than Steam's overall score suggests, with many of the newest ones describing an unplayable launch, while older helpful reviews are more forgiving and focus on nostalgia.

Praised

  • Unique card battle system

    Players like the turn-based card combat, where drawing, movement and attack stages combine into tactical decisions.

    Many players
  • Dark gothic art and characters

    The gothic, anime-styled art and the characters with tragic backstories are repeatedly singled out as strengths.

    Many players
  • Nostalgia for the Facebook version

    Many returning players are happy to play the game they knew from Facebook, and this often outweighs the technical flaws for them.

    Many players

Criticised

  • Freezes, crashes and bugs

    Players report freezes, crashes during loading and combat, and broken interface elements that disrupt matches.

    Many players
  • Long loading screens

    Loading between screens takes very long, and some players say the game sits on black screens or cannot start at all.

    Many players
  • No fullscreen or window resizing

    Players say the window is too small and cannot be made fullscreen or larger, so text is hard to read on large monitors.

    Many players
  • Gacha and grind

    Players criticise the gacha odds, the high ticket costs and a slow, repetitive grind for cards and character upgrades.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suits players who enjoy deck-building card battlers with dark characters and who are willing to put up with rough technical quality, especially those with nostalgia for the Facebook version.
Who should skip it
Should be skipped by players who want a stable, polished game with good performance, a resizable window, or a fair gacha, as these problems come up repeatedly.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with over 200 hours mostly do not recommend the game and focus on the grind, repetitive quests and PvP problems, while newer players are more often positive about the characters and card battles.
