Strengths

The audiovisual style, including card illustrations, CGs, and music, is outstanding and effectively conveys the wuxia atmosphere.
Each character has distinct core mechanics and roguelike builds, giving their playstyles a strong sense of individuality.
Some characters’ zero-cost and resource-recovery-focused builds provide a powerful sense of satisfaction and motivation to replay.

Weaknesses

Recovering only 2 energy per turn while also costing 1 energy to shuffle excessively restricts card use and deck management.
Although each character contains too many sub-schools, weak card synergy makes decks unfocused and makes it difficult to complete the desired build.
Limited card-removal options and poor access to shops and events make decks bloated and increase reliance on luck, specific cards, and internal skills.
