What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Deck of the Dead is a free deck-building roguelike that players appreciate for its spooky artwork and theme, but criticize for being shallow, short, and lacking the depth and balance of similar games in the genre. Common complaints include slow animations, limited content that runs out quickly, minimal progression systems, and insufficient variety in abilities and gameplay mechanics to encourage multiple playthroughs. Most reviewers acknowledge it has merit as a free experience but note it feels incomplete and underdeveloped compared to established roguelike deck-builders.

It is SO SLOW waiting for status effects to resolve before the enemies take their turn. Really boring.

This is just Slay The Spire but without everything that makes it fun. The models don't feel immersive, the UI looks... bad, and the entire game lacks any kind of balancing. Waste of time, don't even bother.

A quick and easy playthrough. Worked perfectly well, but way to short. After 2 areas you are back to the main screen. Wish there were more content.

Cool game works fine, but no progression. Good for a game then I got bored.

7/10 It isnt very hard. Artwork and theme are nice. Some of the ideas behind the game play seem cool but needed more throughput, ie possession needs more options and wider array of unique abilities would be nice and encourage more play throughs. A compelling storyline would also go a long way. BUT the fact its FREE hell ya! dig in!
