Reception

The game received an aggregate score of 67/100 on Metacritic, indicating "mixed or average reviews". [2]

Craig Harris of IGN rated the game 8/10 points, calling the gameplay "extremely enjoyable" and not formulaic. He praised the interface but criticized the lack of story or exploration, as well as the absence of a tutorial. Stating the game is "extremely confusing", he said that the player would need a couple of hours to learn the rules. [3]

"Evil Star Dingo" of GamePro rated the game 3/5 points, calling it "kind of brilliant" as a board game, but criticizing the lack of story mode and the fact that the game lacks a quicksave function, forcing you to lose if your battery runs out or you have to stop playing in the middle of a long match. They also called the graphics "very utilitarian" and the sound "8-bit NES quality", commenting that "the music needs to die". [4]

Steve Steinberg of GameSpy rated the game 90/100, calling the gameplay "astoundingly complex", but criticizing the steep learning curve and lack of any storyline. [5]
