I often don't find things in games, that I actually hate, much less in the first two hours of playing, but here goes my top 2:
1. Resource gathering tools break/disappear when used, often after only a single use.
2. Stamina mechanic is awful. Always, ALWAYS!, out of stamina.
^these 2 will cause me to get refund, thinking about it now

Other things I dislike, but are ok with, so far, from what I've played and encountered:
3. Every mechanic in this game in unbalanced.
4. Quest tracker is a joke.
5. Lack of tutorials and explanations for stuff.
6. NPC's do nothing different. ie: kids in nameless village stand at well 12 hours a day, every day.

How to fix:
1. edit: just get rid of the 'random break' bs, make it pure durability based, or not break at all and change mechanic/balance of time/resources to reflect non breakage.
2. Make sleeping 8 hours restore max stamina, and lower stamina costs on everything to 1 [except those quest/scripted events that take 20/25]

edit: can't get refund, over 2 hours of playtime :(

After 5 years [later this month] since this game was launched, basically zero progress was made on it!!
Instead of devs putting time and effort into improving the game, what we got was devs wasted time adding: season passes, cosmetics, flurry release of new sets, etc.

There are just so many things wrong with the game, which after 5 years, fallen on deaf ears from wotc/devs.

Cons:
1. gambling [real money for random outcome, even targeting children]
2. f2p
3. f2p card acquisition is absolute garbage
4. pay to win (more opened packs = larger better card pool)
5. no 4 player
6. no commander
7. no older sets
8. broken shuffler
9. no trading
10. no 'dusting'
11. alchemy variants of non-alchemy cards
12. alchemy
13. game is still NOT optimized! I'm on 3070, ssd, etc. and it still stutters / lags
14. unneeded animations, transitions, sounds, etc. with no way to disable them
15. too much product released each year
16. still random crashes
17. disconnects happening more often now
18. high price for "digital" only game, to get 4 of each card from just a single set would take over $200 easy!
19. infinite loop locks
20. token limit (stack limit?)
21. more complex game interactions requiring a ton of clicking animations still eat up timer, that will lead to loses because you can't click fast enough, or automate, or temp pause timer while you finish your play sequence.
22. no resell because no trading
23. and so on...

The vast majority of these problems com from a single core point: f2p.

I didn't think you could dumb down pokemon, I was wrong.
This game is exceedingly simple with zero challenge.

The u.i. is horrible, with little to no info on screens.
Like the ability screen, doesn't list the hitrate nor damage, only in battle can you see those.

The spawnrate for specials is too low and 100% rng.
You can do tens of thousands of battles without seeing a single special.

Only positive is the character designs and graphics are pretty good.
Some of the music isn't bad either.

All and all, I say this game is a complete waste of time in its current state.

Far too many bugs:

2 major ones:
1. sometimes destroying a non-shrine structure does not lower its build cost, eventually you hit a 'limit' and can no longer ever build said structures again. (the game should just keep track of how many of said strutures you own on the map, and adjust cost to this number, not adjust cost at the time of destroy/build, cause it doesn't always update correctly in the current implementation).
2. dig spots only spawning in desert biome, ZERO spawning in other biomes.
3. controller targeting is awful, if an animal is stuck on a tree, it often AUTO targets the animal instead of the tree, for LOTS of accidental animal killing. Also when you are already targeting something and an animal runs close by, it often auto targets the animal for more accidental animal killing.
4. controller targeting is a awful part2: can't place foors vertically from position, you also can't place floors near other targetable objects unless you destroy them first. Just make it target in the 4 cardinal directions for christ sake.

Some minor bugs:
1. banks not getting adjacent bank bonus.
2. animals droids getting stuck in trees/rocks/fishtraps.

Some bad recipes:
1. animal feed requires poop, why does the dev think animal food is made with strait poop?

Game is really good, however, the bestiary needs more details, like enemy attack list.

Simple, yet complex enough for enjoyment.

This game years ago was not as buggy.

Now, the bugs are constant, to the point a single minute can not pass without them occurring.

Game is 100% unplayable, nearly every bug halts progress....

Do not buy until bugs are fixed.

I'm on windows 7, fully updated.

Where to start.
This 'game' is far too basic, small, and short.
Enemies have 100% accuracy.
Enemies projectiles have incorrect hitbox compared to visuals.
Enemy drops disappear.
Only a handful of tile-sets.
No real story.
Few too enemy types, as well as dumb enemy type. (seriously, a walking carrot? come on)
Got to a room, that the only way to move, was while airborne, which was improperly implemented.
(jumping always start slowly, so once you land, when you jump again it re-starts at the god awful rate).

As it stands, its just rng 100% of the time.

I suggest you play just about any other 1st person shooter game over this one.

No map and no minimap are the biggest negatives for this game.
Also no way to angle bricks, another negative.

On survival mode, when you die, your dropped items can disappear!
Until the game fixes disappearing items, I highly don't reccomend this game.

I am not enjoying my time with this game at all.

I don't know if I'm remembering the 1st game accurately, but this games art and character portraits seem lower quality.
The menu system is a mess. (what was wrong with the old school menu?)
Apparently, you can't pick and choose your equipment, it gets autoequipped.
You can only pump up a stat so far each level up, unlike the 1st game.
Can't disable controller rumble or reassign controller buttons in game. (not that I could find)

The games balance seems quite off to me too, I don't know how to put my finger on it, both sides of the battle seem to die in just a few hits; just hope the enemy team doesn't focus on one of your characters and you focus solely on one of their characters.

I don't know, maybe I"ll try playing again soon and updating this.
But for now, I do not reccomend this game.

A game where in chat, many whales state they spent over $20,000.
One whale even stated spending over $100,000 and said they STILL DON'T have every character and ship maxed (the store doesn't even mention what characters are possible to get from specific packs, whom is limited, etc!).
Gambling is not cool.

There is real no game here, just the 'chase character' mechanic with a few supporting minigames thrown in.

Character acquisition is random. Good luck getting a specific character. Let alone getting them to max.

I played pretty diligently for months, only to do math on how long it would take for me to max out my exsisting characters, and it was over 10 years of grinding! I didn't even have 1/10th the character pool.

Did I mention you only have limited crew slots/space? where they have option to increase it for hundreds, if not thousands of dollars?

I was into the game until I figured out it was a complete waste of time and money.
