Extremely charming card game. Highly recommended unless you're a "hardcore card game snob", in which case this game might be too simple and easy for you. $19.99USD is a tad on the steep side for the amount of content in the game, but it's certainly still reasonable. if the game ever goes on sale for $7 or less, then it's a must-buy.
The core gameplay mechanic is interesting and unique, but not very deep. The idea is that the card you play "influence" what poem gets written, and the poem that gets written can trigger effects on your cards during the next turn. So for example, if you play a passion card, an ego card and a nature card, then your poem will contain some number of passion words, some number of ego words and some number of nature words. Depending on how many of each of those words get generated into the poem, you might be able to play a card whose conditional trigger says something like "If the poem contains 2 nature words and an ego word, then...".
The RNG of the poem was a tiny bit of a turn-off for me. I'm used to dealing with the RNG coming from my deck being shuffled, but i found it a bit frustrating that i could not exactly predict how many words of each type would appear in the poem. In fact, sometimes words of a specific type would appear in the poem even if I did not play any cards of that specific type. it seems like sometimes the poem just randomly gains word-types. This sometimes made it hard to predict what the effects of some of my cards would be on the next turn, but it was a small enough variance that it would almost never be the deciding factor in whether or not I'd win a duel.
The theme of "poems = magic" is a very unique one, and everything about the game coheres well to further that theme. The one big downside is, as I mentioned above, that the gameplay is not very deep, and if you're looking for a very cerebral card game with complex interactions between cards, you may be disappointed. It's fairly straightforward to construct a deck that'll defeat almost any opponent you encounter. The only time I had to adjust my deck in response to what my opponents were doing was when the game started introduce opponents with the "shield" mechanic, at which point I had to incorporate the (sole) anti-shield card into my deck.
That said, there's plenty of casual fun to be had in the four-to-six hour base campaign. And there are optional achievements for people who want to delve deeper into designing decks with constraints that make the card duels harder. For example, one of the achievements asks you to win using a deck consisting of almost all "Ego" cards, or to construct a deck based around the "distract" status effect, which forces you think harder on how to construct a deck that fits those constraints and yet is still powerful enough to win duels.
For the completionists out there, there is a lot of "lore" to discover. As you walk around the map, you'll encounter other poets who will have conversations with you -- essentially one paragraph of flavor text. There are lots of hidden conditionals for when a poet will present a particular dialog, and the game uses this mechanic for optional side quests. One poet might asks you to deliver a love letter to another poet, for example. Some of these quests are very elaborate, with one poet giving a clue to visit a second poet, who then gives you a clue to visit a third poet, and so on, with the ultimate reward at the end of the chain being a very rare card.
Unfortunately, this is also where my main complaint about the gameplay lies. There is a "hunger' mechanic where you have to constantly buy food to make sure you don't starve while wandering around the map. You will need to wander a lot to try to trigger all the lore dialogue and unlock all these sidequests, and so constantly stopping at towns to refill your supply of food feels like an inconvenient chore rather than interesting gameplay.
The art diretion is top notch, both the graphics and the music. I really can't find any points of critiism there.
The developers are also extremely active and responsive. I posted a bug I found in the Steam forums, and the devs fixed the bug and released a patch for it the very next day.
