    There’s an element of confusion throughout Oaken in terms of our initial bafflement at the games systems as well as it not focusing on what sort of game it really is. It is a card battler? Or a strategy game? The blend of both doesn’t really work. Despite our being bored a lot of the time, we somehow see there’s something here, it’s just concealed by a messy implementation.
