Story and characters

However, I dislike f2p where the single player campaign is really just free to try.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
On the simplest level, the gameplay is like a turn-based Starcraft game where you gather resources, construct tech buildings, build your army, and subdue your opponent.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
There is no benefit in multiplayer match at all.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I like the art style of the game even though I have seen many people calling it "cheap" or "mobile like", but tbh I think for such a small development team the art style is more than good enough, and main plus I'd say every unit at least feels unique and distinct, thanks to the artwork.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
On the plus side, unlock Hearthstone Prismata actually has an options menu that lets you customize a plethora of different UI visuals and functionality, and there is an end turn hotkey so you have to give them credit for that improvement that most other CCGs STILL haven't figured out (lol).
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Servers and matchmaking
Players who bring up Servers and matchmaking mostly praise it.
There are a number of multiplayer features developed and polished already including full ladders, auto-matchmaking, live spectating, replays and analysis mode, assignable hot-keys, and in-game support for Twitch streamers.
