A very good game. I really like the levelling system they use (you equip classes and gain XP in them, but can switch classes to gain other perks permanently, at the cost that you're much weaker initially). The English translation is not very good, so some of the dialogue is a bit weird, but otherwise great combat flow, bosses, and progression is great. The menuing is a bit weird (and not well explained) which is my biggest grievance :)

It's a bit on the grindy side, and you tend to spend more time planning and switching gear than actually fighting. And even then, you're probably grinding levels or drops on the same old enemies. I guess it's fun in chunks, if you're into that sort of thing. Some more QoL would have been nice, it's really annoying to go over each gear item to inventory what bits are equipped, or manually taking off gems from slots one by one. There really isn't any good overview of anything...

I like the turn based combat but the exploration was a deal breaker for me. At least the dev attempted to put some kind of exploration in the game. This isn't the worst game I've ever played-far from it; but it isn't what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I Uninstalled the game after trying it out for 10 minutes or so and tried to get a refund, yet when I requested it, Google said it was against their policy... but I think I'd like to support this developer anyway because he's on the right track

Would love to leave a detailed review on this game but the review box is limited. All i can say for a mobile game its fun and not bad at its given price point as i got it even cheaper. But the cons outweigh the pros as too many of the mechanics in this game work against you. Its not really a deck builder and the game doesnt know what it wants to be. The story is non existent and the translation is rough. But the soundtrack is awesome but the difficulty spikes dont help with the other cons.
