Additionally, like most roguelite games, it has a short playthrough. It gets manageable the more you play, but it’s still a tough nut to crack for new players. Even with a modifiable day length, the game still feels fast-paced, pressing new players to make decisions under a set time limit. However, it has its own challenges, starting with the time cycle for the game. There are over a hundred cards and more than 50 quests to collect and complete. Additionally, it has a lot of content, making it more replayable. It also features a significant lack of curses or violence or any other mature stuff, giving a child-friendly appeal to it. It feels bright and cheery compared to the darker, occult-themed aesthetic of Inscryption. In terms of graphics, it uses a brighter color palette. They can get stronger by “ equipping” them with weapons or by banding together. You start out with a villager card you can play against a variety of creatures like rats or goblins. A particularly addictive part is its combat mechanics. Everything in the game can be settled with a card fight. Some changes were made, mostly fixing instability issues.Imagine if you have a turn-based strategy game like Civilization that is dealt with using cards-that’s how Stacklands feel. The game was later repackaged as Advanced Battlegrounds: The Future of Combat. The Java source code is freely available and can be extracted from the code pack shipped with the game. The game's scripting engine is written entirely in Java. It also allowed the implementation of simple vehicle physics as well as a ragdoll effect for dead characters. The engine is notable for being able to handle vast open areas as well as detailed interiors. It is the first version of the Chrome Engine and would be used in all of Techland's major future releases and also licensed to several third-party developers.

The game utilizes an engine that was specifically developed for this project. In March 2006, Techland announced a sequel, which would feature the latest version of the Chrome Engine, but was reported to be 'on hold' soon after. A prequel, Chrome SpecForce, was released in 2005. It was followed in 2004 by Advanced Battlegrounds: The Future of Combat. Chrome is a first-person shooter video game by Techland, released in 2003 by the publisher Strategy First.
