I just played One Deck for the first time with a friend, high on triumph from beating an escape room game- and after an hour of intense rule deciphering we started to get the feel for turn by turn action, only to find out that the slog of a single level required two more to even confront the boss. Our puzzle energy wore down, you might say, until our hearts were spent. I think your thoughts are spot-on: the surface peels back to reveal a grind. In addition to the card design choices which make certain aspects counterintuitive, I also lay the outcome on the rule manual and language choices, which needed hierarchy design decisions, clarity and polish.
