TL; DR: It's never okay to make a TCG pay-to-win.

My best friend loves CFVG. He's played it since it came out years ago. It's changed a lot. He's waited a long time for this game to be accessible to him. Because of that, he's really defensive of it. I'm not going to say that I know this, or I know that about video games because I went to school for it.
I'm going to say that this design is unacceptable.

Animations are laughable.
Menu isn't intuitive.
You can't change the keys for accept/back.
SEVERAL QoL implementations were never made.
It's rehashed mechanics.

What really upset me is that the game offers you a tutorial that explains how the game is played, but tells you nothing of RIDE LINES. Do you know what a ride line is? Because I had to ask. Just to make a deck.

This game is not for new players to CFVG and it's embarrassing for those that know how to play and waited this long. Update this garbage, Bushiroad. Apologize.
