This gonna be a very long a detailed review of MY opinion about the game and it's current state as I'm writing this in early 2025.
The game isn't good. At least not at the long run. It feels nice and cool to play at first, the few hours of the game are actually enjoyable and the game looks fun and unique. There is some variety of cards (either black or white) and a few shotguns to unlock. But sadly... that's all I can say good about the game, that is very unique and interesting cause now we gonna talk about the BAD parts of the game which is like 90-95% of the game.
The main progression of the game is the Throne mode where it gets progressively more difficulty with each difficulty up to 15 which is the last and hardest. Main problem is that the game gets harder in a unfair way for you, either making your moves more unreliable by increasing your shot arc or making enemies invincible to most starting shotgun by increasing they health and sheer quantity of pieces on the field. Is LAUGHABLE that the only buff you get on the WHOLE throne mode run is on difficulty 15 which is miserable 2 extra bullets in the bag for your shotgun RIGHT after in difficulty 14 you lose one, so in total is only ONE extra bullet for this last hard super challenge! Frankly... I took that as a bad joke from the devs and would prefer not having that at ALL!
Now for the main problem of the game. RNG. That's the game, RNG King: The Final Checkmate. Is sad but the game was balanced ALL around this RNG which makes your plays always frustrating to do cause NOTHING is taken for guaranteed. You can be the best chess player in the world, think ahead of the machine 10+ turns and STILL get fucked by miserable RNG, either by the cards they offer, by White piece speed generator (they speed at start of match is always RANDOM) or simple your shotgun NOT SHOOTING WHERE YOU WANT IT TO! Not gonna even mention the grenades...
So the game is unplayable impossible unfair to beat? Not really, there is always a way but now comes the second most annoying thing which is Resign simulator! Resign is the mechanic of the game to forfeit a match and try again, cause trust me if you aiming for a full achievements run or even just a beat difficulty 15 run you GONNA do the resign simulator game. Cause thanks to the HORRIBLE balance of the cards in the game and the unfair nature of the game you NEED the best of the best of the cards to actually win in the last difficulty. Or even to grab the right cards to do the combos that most achievements ask for. Trust me gets boring REAL fast after the 10-15 resign in a row JUST for one good run that still can and WILL fail thanks to another RNG check later on...
So yeah, that's the main issues of the main game. Unfair progression and even unfair RNG balance system. Where everything and yes EVERYTHING from where you spawn in the match, to speed of the enemies, to where your bullets and grenades will go to cards you pick, all is RNG. So if you want to aim for that big win in difficulty 15, full achievement or even just play casually you are at RNG mercy at ALL times. Without mattering much your actual skill in the game.
And being very honest the game is WAY WAY to expensive for what it delivers even if it had a good balance. The game is super short and even with all the hard time I had with poor balance I still picked all achievements in less than 60 hours (Which 50+ I didn't gained anything new and was just repeating the same stuff over and over again). So unless is a BIG sale... I don't recommend it at ALL and even on sales still not recommend thanks to the infuriating nature the game possess.
Overall, niche and very unique game with big potential. A potential wasted thanks to bad balance and terrible RNG integration in the game...
