If you like games such as Slay the Spire or Chrono Ark, you'll love this game! It's a party-building deckbuilder, each character has their own sets of cards and distinct passives; as well as specific relics that grant them special advantages.
The art is very cute and the story is light-heartedly silly. The developers are working hard to add some quality of life features; I would recommend trying the game if you're a fan of this genre at all.
There has been Chinese review-bombing due to some translation errors (they're a small team of 6 people) but I can say as an English speaker and advocate of the genre, that this game is very fun and worth your time trying it out. c:

Cleared story mode and Witch's tower
Took about 3 hours
Great artwork, easy control and could chill throughout the whole gameplay
The fun of the game is forming different parties each time u play
but picking up the right perks from the shop and golden chests are way too important
hope the normal monsters gives better perks to proceed

Cute art, Witch-themed slay the spire.
Missing a lot of QoL features on launch, but it feels like it has good foundation.
Looking forward to seeing the updates ⭐️

Fun game, amazing art style, sadly is a bit short right now with very little content, hopefully the new updates wont take too long

Good but the translation could use some work. Still serviceable regardless, reminds me of the early days of Lobotomy Corp

The first thing that caught my eye was the art, I love it! Adorable, cute and sweet~ just like the characters ♥
The gameplay is interesting so far, nice and chill yet engaging. Curious to see how it goes with the wacky adventure Lulu the Witch and company has in store for us!
Congratulations to the developers G1 Playground for pulling this off with only 6 people! I am glad to support the team and the effort they put in. Looking forward to their future content and updates

It's a cute and fun smaller card game. It's not as innovative or in depth as StS or Chrono Ark, but more like Wildfrost, wherein its smaller in scope, but there are still interesting cards and combos to discover, and great art&animations to enjoy.
You start the game in an easier story mode where you unlock characters one by one to get an introduction to the mechanics and story, and then afterwards unlock the actual game which is a StS-like tower climber. The character system is pretty interesting, your party is actually made up of 3 different characters who each sit on the battlefield, but share one deck composed of all their individual decks. Once you have unlocked all the characters, you actually always have all of them and can swap out the 3 you are using at any point out of combat during the game. This can lead to interesting decisions, like if you see a good rare card for one of your benched characters, you might want to keep building their decks with the card drafts and swap them in, or temporarily swap a low hp character for a benched one you haven't been building for just to keep the team alive.
It's had a bit of a rough launch with some missing QoL features (not all resolutions supported, no speed up option) and a poor Chinese translation (you'll see a lot of negative reviews in another language).
However, they have been working pretty hard to remedy all this while also working on some free content updates. In fact, a couple days after the game released they already added support up to 4k resolution.
I am also looking forward to the content updates as some more variety to the relics and events would add a lot more repeatability to the main game loop. If you're looking for another 15$ card game you can sink hundreds of hours into, you won't find it here, or in most games. But I've already enjoyed my time for 6 hours (some on another device), and easily see myself spending another 2-4, plus more once content updates drop. I consider that a good deal!
Overall, I think it has a lot more potential once it cooks a little more, but I would honestly recommend it right now if the trailer and art looks interesting to you, and your itching for another card game.
