The game suffers from a dead player population with no meaningful single-player content, making it impossible to play as intended, and players report broken tutorials, incomplete explanations, and matches that end prematurely due to insufficient players.

[i]Almost every PvP exclusive game on Steam fails.[/i] Developers often assume just because they published their game, it's going to "go viral".

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.
