❤ Procedurally Generated Cards

Players highlight the game's use of procedurally generated cards as a major draw. Rather than a fixed set, the game generates new, unique cards on each run, with varying stats, costs, and abilities. This allows for an ever-changing gameplay experience, as players constantly discover new card combinations and interactions, leading to a sense of unpredictability and replayability.

❤ Deckbuilding and Progression

The game blends deckbuilding and roguelike elements. Players start each "Delve" run with a randomized starter deck and must build their deck as they progress, acquiring new cards from battles and encounters. Cards obtained during a run then permanently join the player's collection, which they can use to construct decks for other game modes, such as boss battles. This loop of building a deck, facing challenges, and expanding one's card pool is a core part of the game's appeal.

❤ Autobattle Mechanics

Combat is based on an autobattle system, where units automatically attack enemy units in a left-to-right order. This streamlined approach focuses the gameplay on deck construction and positioning, rather than on manual unit control. Players generally appreciate this design choice, as it allows the game to maintain a brisk pace and emphasize strategic card synergies over twitch-based mechanics.

❤ Diverse Game Modes

In addition to the core "Delve" roguelike mode, the game offers several other gameplay options, including a "Boss Rush" mode where players challenge powerful guardians using their constructed decks, a PvP draft mode, and an autobattle mode. This variety of game modes caters to different player preferences and provides additional replayability beyond the procedurally generated card content.

❤ Tactical Depth

While the card generation can lead to some unpredictability, players consistently praise the game's tactical depth. Careful positioning of units, managing mana resources, and building cohesive deck synergies are all essential to success, particularly in the more challenging boss battles. This balance of randomness and strategic decision-making is a key factor in the game's appeal.
