Pros
Pro Interesting theme
You are a running raptor who is shooting lasers from your eyes. The theme itself is sci-fi based in that the platform the raptor is running on looks sci-fi themed and contains robots. Also it would not be normal for a Raptor to shoot lasers, which in and of themselves are often sci-fi based.
Pro Fun shooting mechanics
Kill robots with your laser eyes as you run endlessly. Instead of the classic endless runner gameplay where one just avoids objects there is an extra shooting mechanic that allows one to shoot at robots in ones path.
Pro Beautiful graphics
Tilt-shifted visuals look like a real board game. Beautiful particle effects and environments. Artwork is great and has a Redwall feel to it.
Pro Original Mechanics
Equipment, spells, and traps are all played by expending cards, which can also be spent on favorable dice rolls in combat. The King, at the center of the board, simultaneously loses health and becomes stronger with corruption each turn. The win conditions depend on either killing the king, curing the king with spirit stones, becoming more corrupt than the king, or having the most prestige from quests and combat when he dies.
Cons
Con Can be difficult
It can get really hard after some time of play, which can be frustrating.
Con Games can be too short
The King has a limited amount of health and loses 1 HP every two turns, putting a hard limit on game length and limiting the amount you can achieve in a single game.
