A pretty interesting spinoff of a spinoff that attempts to have a focus on strategy but with so much luck based elements that it nearly almost fails to accomplish such.

Essentially you place attacks into a tree and your character goes down and randomly picks 3 of them to use in a round, and this can certainly lead to some awkward moments where you get bad luck and it either keeps going for the same attacks or never the ones you want. Another big luck based element is that these attacks, called chips in-game, come from either buying them gacha style from a store or as enemy drops, and this can lead you to pretty bad situations sometimes. There's an elemental weakness feature and by the end of the game I barely had anything to counter one element because of bad luck.

Besides this, there is still some thinking involved mainly in weighing in how much you value different chips. I personally probably spent atleast half my time in the chip editor thinking how I wanted to approach certain situations. The game is nice in regards to allowing you to retry an enemy after configuring your deck, so long as you put them in the deck before you enter a tournament. I will say a big weakness of the game is the money system, you have to pay to enter tournaments so only about half of your reward money is actually being spent on chips. The game probably would have been better without any entrance fees on them.

Overall, it's a pretty enjoyable fame despite its obvious flaws. You also don't have much handle over gameplay itself, as a few people I know have mentioned it basically seems like an idle game. But it's certainly kind of interesting and unique, so worth taking a look.
