Better than expected - its not only that you now HAVE control about your damage and defense, its even a little bit like Gloomhaven, as your hand deck gets thinner and thinner, before you´ re allowed to redraw a new hand deck.
You always keep the whole deck, so in the end you reshuffle all played cards and form a new deck to draw your hand cards from, thus you wont get weaker like in Gloomhaven - but temporarily you WILL get weaker and have to think well about your options you must live with for a couple of combat rounds.
Finally, the game IS about combat mastery like the video game.
Ingenious!
