What real reviews say
★★★★ The dlc and challenges need some work Love the game, but the dlc class is easily the worst class in the game. I’ve tried it every which way it just doesn’t work well. The units are either huge and expensive or small and weak. The spells are good, but not as good as Stygian. Lastly, the daily challenges lately have just not been fun. Lo
★★★★★ Dueling Dates Challenges is so much fun to play with my boyfriend. We literally sit next to each other and spend hours dueling. It’s so romantic! lol
★★★★★ Yes yes yes Not sure why I held off on MT and glad I finally pulled the trigger. If you’re into slay the spire and deck builders , you will LOVE MT!
