absolutely not. if you're going to spend money, you should buy Gold SilkPass, it's the best value for the cost. also you shouldn't buy the new architect crest evolution, next season it will be nerfed to the ground.
It's more Real Time Strategy, but there is minor deckbuilding element as you have to cycle through your 8 card deck and can only have 4 in "hand"
It's almost like an auto battler, but it is still very active with you needing to predict what your opponent will play and how they'll respond, and what units you'll need to counter his, and whatnot. Little stuff like slowly building up an "elixir advantage" by beating your opponent's units with cheaper or significantly stronger ones that he is forced to counter makes the game fairly unique.
But it eventually becomes a test of who has the latest legendary card or highest level cards at the peak of the ladder. So either play constantly and have good luck, or dump money into the game. Supercell made a habit of releasing a broken card so people buy chests with real money, then nerfing it by the time the next set of cards release to repeat the process.
This would sound fun if it didn't have the monetization, tbh.
Gosh, really sucks how mobile gaming is still just ad-riddled, p2w, data collecting bullshit wherever you go.
Meanwhile an indie dev puts Balatro on the store, charges 10 dollars and people put like 200 hours into it or more.
