I really enjoyed this experience and even didn't mind the short story. The red character is a little annoying as a narrator that says blatantly what the group is going to do like a... Idk a narrator of old movies. I think it is meant to be comical, but honestly it seems the writers were capable of much more mature topics I wish they would have shared. The story of mage robot brings up a lot of mature reflection on traumatic events and such. I enjoyed this. The bosses are creative enough, and challenging enough. Although the inclusion of 3 decks as characters in combat is fun, the number of cards you can use / the number available is disappointingly low. additionally, although in theory I would love to find synergies between the characters, I didn't find it fun to try to work these out in a way I might with a true TCG. Instead, it was the usual "ha, I see, an ice monster zone. Let me just equip my fire spells..." that frankly has been a standard in the RPG landscape for so long, it's not new, although it is indeed fun to use basic cards as ways to spend resources. I didn't end up finishing it. I got to the last area. I might come back to finish it, but I'm not finding the end push very rewarding.
