Into The Grid

tl;dr It is a "game" in the sense that it runs and you can do things. I would skip unless you are really into the vibe, or want to see someone (either skillfully or unitentionally it's not clear) "nerf" most of the mechanics in normal card games to make a repetitive/grindy/dark souls like-experience. It's possible that they just don't have much content and are trying to make the game a grind to make you feel like your money's worth at which point the game could easily become more about the deck building and less about the player skill in the non-deck building elements (knowledge of monster attack patterns, the fiddly totally unexplained way that deck shuffing seems to work, when to trigger skills, how and when items to affect the map) and raw meta progression. (As an example... imagine that the way you advanced in magic was buying upgrades to double or triple your starting health... stuff like that). I think that also, perversely, unlocking the "wrong" card packs probably makes the game harder? Since you only get 2-3 card choices per run before your health is so low that you have to prioritize survival and avoiding combat. ---- I'd ideally like to make this a bit mor…

One of the best deck builder games I've played yet. A bit more advanced than others, but the tutorial is great to help you get started. Some really cool systems, and the combat scenes are the best I've ever scene.

simple but intricate with a few nice surprises

An excellent rogue like card battler with fantastic cyberpunk style and themes, I've been really enjoying it. I appreciate the devs working hard on an Early Access game, they fixed the bug I found before I even had a chance to report it. I am looking forward to more content and different player characters, the devs did an impressive job making the 2 options so far feel quite different to play. Good soundtrack too!

Interesting areas with regards to clearing individual clusters and node use strategy, but ultimately feels like a worse Slay-the-Spire. The starting characters special mechanics feel largely pointless as it is uncommon to get a singular card or cards that are valuable enough to draw you into Feral, Grit, or Max Vim pay-offs. Some of the feral and grit cards are at least baseline useful, but it feels like you'd need to force one and get lucky to have a worthwhile pay-off. Max vim cards are individually good, but having a dense enough collection of them to justify sitting on your Vim instead of using your primary draw smoothing and energy generating resource feels ♥♥♥♥♥♥. I'd be more inclined to fool around with builds if getting through the first floor wasn't so time-demanding. I'll admit I'm also salty about dying to the first floor boss from a one-shot from near full-health because of a single particularly bad draw which my command did nothing to smooth.

Dificulty makin nait laju setiap selepas node, tapi player xlaju nait power, alu knk power creep. Boh jak, lom dak nemu apa ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bos2 nya dpt polah. Hell naw bruh
