This game seems to have a lot of potential, but it's obvious why the player count is so low. It's because the balance is non-existent, and some cards are incredibly frustrating to fight against. Not only that, but there's plenty of instant win combinations of cards that have very little counter-play. The problem is exponentially worse when you're a new player, who will start an incredibly weak starter deck; a starter deck which cannot meaningfully answer any options players with significant play time have. You will just lose to better cards- not players, CARDS, and there's nothing you can do about it. Eventually, if you level up enough, and get good cards too, you can be the player doing the stomping, or you'll just have a fighting chance now. If you match with similarly leveled players, you'll have a very fun time, but this will rarely happen because the player count is so low, and whatever players are left, are either new players who bought it on sale, or sweats who have maxxed out cards. To nobody's surprise though, the game is incredibly fun with friends. That's why I'm leaving a positive review. The game is lovely. The gameplay is smooth, the art is pretty, and the music is always welcome. It's just a few poor development decisions combined with a low playerbase that harms the new player experience so significantly that they'll leave.
The game is pretty fun!! But the online is horrible. There's no skill/level based matchmaking, so as a new player I got shoved into matches with people who only ever had maxed out cards. And any mode that's not 1v1, is "spam all your cards immediately" and its just obnoxious. There's no rules or limits or penalties for playing this way so almost every 2v2 and 3v3 match is the exact same. Thankfully even with the "newbie vs pro" issues with the cards, 1v1's are USUALLY still winnable off of skill or strategy. (Which is how the whole game should be, but, whatever.) And if you keep playing and getting better cards, 2v2s become more bearable. But you're usually still screwed and can die in seconds if you're paired against diehards. Overall its okay. The game itself is a bunch of fun and I really love the style, (the style is the main reason I keep playing), but the players just ruin it and abuse the mechanics. I GUESS I cant blame the devs for the player base, but I can blame them for not doing anything to prevent or fix the behavior. This is about as fun as a decently made Roblox game, and unless you're playing with friends, its only fun for a few hours. I wish there was an in-between option for reviews because this is definitely that. Get it on a sale, especially with the playerbase kinda dying off.
This is a fun little PvP game to play with friends and a great go to when you are not sure what to play. I enjoy the art style, the guns, the cards and the overall gameplay. Everything works together well and keeps matches feeling fresh. When Searching for a FFA with 3 other friends, we had no issues finding a 4th player, it was almost instant. I am hoping to see more maps added in the future. 8/10 Will shoot my friends again.
