Heh I just use the term 'moeslut' and 'loliwhore' because I dislike those designs and how they show up in like 95% of Japanese games now ^^;
The luck based gameplay thing is making me a bit hesitant can you elaborate on that?
There's a lot of luck factor in the game. I was hoping for something more like Culdcept Saga. If that turns you off, you won't like the game much.
Since you're into FGs some- one of the games made by this circle occasionally pops up at FG tournies (Acceleration of Suguri)- though it's more of a shooter-fighter hybrid game.
The game is fun though, even if it's not skillful. If you want a skillful card game, I'd get Faeria in a few months when that hits Steam. Comparing Faeria to Hearthstone is like comparing VF to MVC3.
