First off, the PRICE of this game makes all the negatives minor quibbles. I think it's been discounted to 3.99? maybe 2.99? I forget but it was that negligible. Yes, the style of the action sprites does not match the style presented in the 2D art from the 'cut scenes'. So you'll need to have a flexible 'suspension of disbelief' in order to see the better aspects of the game ... frankly that big blue face is more 'out of place ... so yea, the mash-up 'feel' is prevalent. The gameplay is diverse enough that you'll need to apply slightly more brain power than you usually would for a 'tower defence' game. And the random element of what comes up in your deck is mostly responsible for mixing things up like that. Anyone who's played Magic: The Gathering will recognize that having random deck draws is not as a flaw, but rather another challenge to consider when developing ones strategy. Still, bad luck MAY have you resetting. The english translation is horrible but not as horrible as Demon King Box. My brain is still spinning trying to make sense at that one. At least here you can comprehend what they're trying to get across.
