This looks like Natsume saw there was a new Story of Seasons game being made and rushed to beat it out the door at the last minute. This does not look like a product that was loved and cared for during development even though I'm sure there were lots of talented people who wanted to do something with it.
I was kinda interested in this, but that expert mode completely kills that for me... Also seemingly no way to get cards other than to straight buy them is also a bit turn off when Hearthstone exists.
