It is colorful and interesting but the fighting feels weightless. Enemies teleport across the ring making distance pointless. I spent my whole time circling the enemies feet and swinging. Winning a battle feels super anticlimactic because they just fall over. Upgrades are interesting and I like the premise. It needs some QOL upgrades to make it worth the cost. https://youtu.be/0ZteqM_ZtSA

Combat is floaty, and doesn't feel great to play.

Игра 'Battlecaster' – это настоящий взрыв для любителей карточных стратегий с элементами RPG. С первых минут погружаешься в захватывающий мир, где каждое решение имеет значение. Коллекционирование карт – это само по себе приключение, ведь каждый новый герой или заклинание открывает невиданные тактические возможности. Прокачка персонажей добавляет глубины, позволяя кастомизировать свой стиль игры и адаптироваться под самых разных противников. Визуальная составляющая тоже на высоте: яркие спецэффекты и детализированные модели персонажей радуют глаз. Единственное, чего, возможно, не хватает, так это более глубокого лора, но это уже придирки, когда основная механика настолько отточена. Определенно стоит вашего времени!
