Arcane Path

Cool game really enjoyed the intro. The art is high quality, everything feels cohesive and consistent in style. The UI/UX is a bit unclear in places; I’d love to see it more polished and adaptive. Overall, a solid 9/10 — everything’s great, and I definitely want to finish the game.

Unskippable cutscenes, missing quality of life features (can't look at the field during a lot of choice cards). Seems to focus on story over gameplay.

The unskippable cutscenes almost killed it for me. Also, the fact that some texts are missing (how am I supposed to know what is the next phase/level without its description, only a icon?) But, overall, a good game. I would recommend it on sale. 6/10.

solidly meh game, Only 10ish% of players have beaten the end boss (according to achievements). Apparently abandoned (no apparent Dev engagement on the discussion boards.) Several enemy abilities are frankly broken op, Once you figure out the good cards, all your decks start to look the same by end game. Only unlocked 10 of the 12 starting powers, but frankly unwilling to put anymore time into this pile. If you've played all your other deckbuilders, sure give this a shot. If anything else is on your todo list, play THAT first.

OI LOIK IT

TLDR: Tweak the shops, add an act, and consider minor relics or something similar instead of the pale cards. Feels a little unpolished and incomplete. Overall, the game is pretty fun, until you realize how short it is. I feel like by the time I get to the end boss, my deck is "almost" cohesive. Definitely feels like the last boss should be pushed up an act. Also - Like many others have said, it's really RNG heavy, which can be a little frustrating. I've noticed on many of my runs I get to the vendors and have an excess of money, and am forced to restock the card vendor over and over looking for a specific set of cards. Would be nice if I could spend my money - even if excessively - on upgrading existing ones, removing an additional card, buying mini-relics or other similar permanent buffs that would make the runs feel a little more unique. Lastly, although the idea of the curse/DOT builds seems interesting, it's far, far weaker than just attacking directly, making a large amount of the cards effectively worthless by comparison.
