FAN ART

Story is interesting and fun.

Art style is pretty and very detailed.

Characters that you meet and can use are awesome as all have own look, stats, cards and all have own feel to them which is nice.

Units that you can use are very varied and all have own look, stats, and own feel to them in combat.

Cards are impressive as alot of variety to them and can be upgraded and all have own stats and own feel to them in combat from everything from raining arrows to rushing enemies to even a heal and a chance to revive units and so much more.

Can be daunting as alot to learn with managing units and cards.

Challenging even on easy setting as easy to fail if challenge stronger enemies or use wrong units, cards in battle.

Can be fiddly on a controller.

Not alot of reason to replay chapters or levels again after you finish them.
