Gamble Tower

Fun game with deep mechanics. I like that you can skip the tutorial and just dive in to figure it out yourself. I did end up going back to the tutorial to better understand the mechanics later. All in on greed!

I've played about 15 hours and I'd say this ones pretty alright and worth your time! Do go buy it! But, rather than rehashing the displayed game mechanics, let me talk about my personal experience with it. So it has a quite competent amount of progression, although I have only played 15 hours I feel as though I've seen all the challenge aside from maxed gambit difficulty so I actually wonder if there's more to encounter and... I have sort of fallen into a bit of a success trap. I have a winning streak on quite a high difficulty because the power of a certain not-even-optimal combination of characters running a summon deck which is generally quite OP as summons are both damage boosts and effectively block cards as there ARE no block cards, and summons are HP sponges for non-aoe/pierce attacks. Summons dont generally attack first which can make them poor damage output except... I've sidestepped that with my character combination + its easy to artifact stack yourself into 'attacks first' buffs + 'attacks more times' buff artifacts. It makes playing normal attacks pathetic by comparison, I'm not even sure why I'd want to bother when summons blast so hard. And thats my problem, I'm *to…

Combining the Strategies of gambling and push your luck with STS is genius! This game has so much in it. SO much going for it. It's got so many great card mechanics in it that work seemlessly together. Minions...status effects...equipment...Capturing enemies!? And of course lots of game changing artifacts. Even in just the first run the game already shows so much. A host of quirky characters. A myrid of choices in the hallways between each run. This game is quantly addictive! And having the unlock system be tied into how many chips you wanna bet each run keeps me wanting to come back for more. Get more Chips, turn it into gold and unlock what seems to be a huge ocean of content.

This game is a blast. Maybe monster train vibes but with a steeper learning curve and more to unlock. Highly recommended if you are a fan of roguelite deckbuilder type games.

This is a fun, gambling-themed game. It's a rogue-like card game, with meta progress and strategy that extends beyond the current battle. You gamble between every battle, it's required even, and your luck will sway your determination in whether to persevere to reach the expedition end, or whether you should retire early and keep your winnings. The personas you send into each expedition have skill trees, innate bonuses and experience perma-death if you fail so you have to be smart in those decisions. There are helpful tool tips explaining game terms, the gambles have felt balanced, and it's been enjoyable figuring out the systems and how they interact.

Meh.
