Big disappointment. The game has all the ingredients for a successful tactical combat, but they used it so badly, you feel like you're playing a simple dice game, where AI feels like cheating. your most aggressive unit can't take rats while, their rats take your dragons. it is very frustrating.
TBH I have no idea, what gave them the terrible idea to let every creature, including your "wizard", which you loose the fight if it dies, die in one hit. this kind of poor design, makes weird strategies viable, like sending one flying crappy unit and let it hit the opponent mage once, or cast one ranged spell against the opponent and boom you won. same can happen to you too and there is NO WAY to defend against this, except maybe cornering yourself and spamming summons and hope your summons have enough luck to reach the enemy, before they reach you. you have no control over your deck, it's just random cards. so you may have 0 protection against flying creatures or other 1 shot 1 kill spells.
it's pure luck what your opponent gets, what you get, it's pure luck if you opponents crappy unit kills your giant, it's pure luck your 90% chance spell fizzles twice in a row. it's pure luck if your opponent gets a ranged damage spell and just kills you with it, there is no clever strategies, only chaos.
Another frustrating "feature" is, when you loose a fight, that you were supposed to win with "story" mercenaries, they do not appear anymore, so you just have to retry, against impossible odds and hope chaos favors you in one of the 10 retries.
There is no tutorial, there is no way to tell what is Law mode what is Chaos mode, which you have to choose at the beginning. there is no mention of why you can't use talisman you just bought. the only information you get in the beginning about being chaos/neutral/law turns out to be plain wrong. there is absolutely no difference between those guys. you don't get more chaos spells because you are chaos. you may have a full hand with law spells, although you wanted to be chaos.
The only upside is I bought it at a bargain so I didn't waste a lot of money to be disappointed.
