Autocard - Your RPG Adventure

[h1]First impression[/h1] A much better version of f2p "Bazaar" as you can fight vs several AI bosses with increasing difficulty and build whatever heart desires instead of following very specific boring meta. And no need to buy DLC - instead unlock new packs, bosses and heroes for ingame currency, heck you don't even need to grind. [h1]Unique features[/h1] I'll go straight and just name feature that totally conquered me - the final hero unlock is joker girl that gets random 2 packs of all classes and forms her unique main ability. Unlike other 4 classes in EA that stick to certain playstyle (warrior, shielder, mage, archer) that joker is one of the most fun heroes in whole gaming ever. You pick two rng packs and choose one of three cards in each and strategize some incredibly unique ability for each run. There are many neutral factions, like alchemy, pets, magic stones, which are hard to build into if you are paladin or warrior and joker pretty much opens all possibilities and combos, making every card in the game viable. This is just insane fun! The other good feature is great quantity of events after each battle, in games like Slay The spire you have to pick just 1 event, but …

tried playing and after choosing my second booster pack all it does is give the same option i already chose. trying to proceed just pops up a window saying i have unclaimed rewards, without any way of proceeding without claiming them. upon looking at steam community discussion, there seems to be many "soft locks" that people experience. i was having fun with the game but something that makes it where its actually unplayable and not just some preference i didnt like really sucks. I'll come back once dev fixes this.

Took me roughly 10 hours to beat the final difficulty with a specific character. 15 hours in and sitll haven't unlocked all there is. Fun auto battler type game. Would recommend. [b] If the game is crashing, limit fps to 60. [/b]

TL;DR: Autocard executes in delivering a fun throwback to flash games, both aesthetically and mechanically. Every run has the player picks a class tied to a deck of cards and a difficulty. Each difficulty has their own sets of possible modifiers that harm or restrict the player cumulatively. As the run progresses, the player gets a choice between two encounters, each with their own unique advantages. It really gives each run a different feel when figuring out the various combinations of decks and cards and merchants to interact with when trying to form a viable boss-killing build. The more runs completed, the more gems gathered to unlock classes, decks, and bosses. This, in turn, increases the possible builds and also ramps up the difficulty by unlocking potential difficulty modifiers whenever a boss is purchased. By far the most fun I had was rolling the Joker class, as the player creates their main skill from two decks at the start of each run. The only real downside is the games does have a few design flaws as it stands, as well as some run busting bugs. For example, each run must be completed in one go, so there currently isn't anyway to save mid-run without losing everythi…

it's the bazaar but better

Fun game. The gameplay and art style are very charming. Definitely has the roguelike "break the game" mentality and runs are short enough that I can boot it up for a run or two over lunch. The characters all feel very distinct and each run has a random pool of items you can get, which really makes every run feel different. I've played both this and The Bazaar, but considering that game can be 6-8x as expensive when Autocard feels as though it has just as much content AND plenty of unique ideas of its own, I'd say picking this game up is a no brainer.
