Golfie

The description does say "deck builder" but I thought it would be a few choices, there's like 30 or so cards and most of them are useless or overly complicated. You can only equip a few cards at a time so the draw pile is full of what you don't want. And good luck actually beating a course, I was on "free" mode with unlimited shots and still was testing my patience. Even though the trailer looks decent, this is disappointing and feels terribly dated for a 2023 release.

naah idea is good, but it's raw in practice.

Golfie is one of the most creative genre combinations released in recent years because it somehow manages to merge miniature golf, roguelike progression, and deckbuilding mechanics into a surprisingly cohesive experience. On paper, the idea sounds chaotic and almost impossible to balance properly, but once the gameplay loop begins to unfold, the strange combination starts making sense. Instead of playing ordinary rounds of mini-golf, players build decks of cards that completely alter how shots behave while navigating procedurally generated courses filled with hazards, shortcuts, moving obstacles, and opportunities for absurd trick shots. The result is a game that constantly feels unpredictable, rewarding, and far more strategic than a normal golf game has any right to be. The core gameplay revolves around completing runs across multiple randomly generated holes while managing energy, cards, and shot efficiency. Basic shots are intentionally weak, encouraging players to rely on cards that add powerful effects such as increased momentum, curved trajectories, jumping abilities, hovering mechanics, and even teleportation-style movement. Every shot becomes a strategic decision where pl…

There's definitely some glitches when it comes to the course/hole layout generation but they're few and far between. I've encountered maybe 1 or 2 holes that were literally impossible due to generation overlapping in hundreds of holes played. Besides this, it's your typical roguelite in that you need to level up to unlock everything. Then better strategies start to form with building your deck to hit those giga-brained shots and cruise through normal mode.

great game
