    The production values are off the charts with this game. Beautifully executed. The only thing that brings it down for me is the stereotypical broken English spoken by the guide. It borders on being racist. It's obvious that it's done on purpose which is a bit disappointing for me. I find it completely unnecessary in a game of this high quality. Just my opinion. Great game overall.

    Eh?

    "Great game overall"

    3 stars.

    3 stars means above average. Not "great"

    I wondered whether it was spelling and grammar issues when I first saw the tutorial man but then I soon realised it was supposed to be written like that as there are no spelling mistakes or grammar issues in the actual game. Yes it could be seen as border line racist by some people but I think the company are just trying to add some humour into their game. I wouldn't take to much offence.

    It could mean he thought the game was great but was offended by it. I found it slightly offensive.

    Nice little game... Not a huge energy fan (the card packs are already expensive enough imo) but its fun and crazy. Classic pikpok/Adult Swim!

    Loved Monsters ate my Condo but it seems that this is an entirely different game. It's turned-based with card packs. Seems like the complete opposite of the previous games. Very disappointed...

    I came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum I'm ou
    It's a fun little game that looks fantastic and sounds great, but you end up bringing a knife to a gunfight unless you grind or purchase better cards.

    That wouldn't have been so bad if there were more levels or different cities to keep things fresh, otherwise it starts to lose its appeal

    I just don't think that using someone's inability to speak a language properly as 'humor' is funny. Sure I get it, and sure I can just lighten up, but I still think it's tasteless.

    Yes, I think the game is great but that one language issue brings it all crashing down. It's unnecessary.

    I don't want to start a debate but I still can't believe what a PC world we live in now, that a silly fake Asian narrator would offend so many people. Trump may be a buffoon, but he is right about the political correctness that is just getting out of control.
    I though as I was growing up out of the 80s that it would go the other direction, and it's only gotten worse as the years go on. We need to stop walking on eggshells and laugh at each other. Didn't Chappelle teach us anything?
    The best part is that I've seen countless threads on this site for random games from Asian developers with horrible Engrish translations and no one cares.

    "Seems" like it? You sound like Peggy Hill, haha.

    If you don't get the reference, by that I mean: of course it seems like an entirely different game, it *is* an entirely different game. No need to make such an observation, like it is some kind of revelation.

    I'll look into that - could be something on the ad server's side. But it is supposed to turn them off after purchase (with the exception of incentivized video ads that you opt in to see yourself).

    A.I.

    You are actually competing against A.I. cities, but the city decks are constructed by players.

    What an epic & unique card game! It's hilarious. Not sure if it's just me but I swear the unicorn says "f you" and the robot says something provocative to.

    I love the elemental strategy.

    That's the problem with today. God forbid someone gets offended. Raise the pitch forks! Relax. To hell with political correctness.

    People are trying to shutdown comedians, flags are being destroyed, schools and sport names are being changed, words from dictionaries are being removed, kids are being suspended from school for drawings of cartoons wearing necklaces, no more national anthem, Christmas is being removed from New York ( early decorations ) ect.

    Everybody needs to just relax. / rant

    Since this game is strictly PVP I hope when I reach the top I'm not in a position where I don't stand a chance because of diamond decks. We'll have to see. Enjoying myself right now though!

    It seems unfair that no matter how long everyone plays, only 100 people can win the tournaments.
