After the pre-sale, problems regarding the composition of the site and the system has been pointed out on sites such as Twitter, 5ch.
On receiving the negative reaction, it has announced refund and reconsideration of the service on its official site.
CryptoSpells has been attracting attention as a trading card game due to various reasons.
Its balance adjustment according to user's votes, management of cards using blockchain technology, setting the upper limit of the number of cards issued, and its transparency by issuing ERC 721 are some examples among them.
Although there were some problems regarding the composition of the site and the system, I would like to expect the re-departure after reorganizing the structure and contents.
