What Steam players say

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

✦ AI summary

Duelyst was a strategic digital card game beloved for its innovative battlefield positioning mechanic, stunning pixel art, and engaging gameplay depth, though it has since shut down. Players consistently praised its unique design and lore, but newcomers often struggled against an experienced playerbase that dominated with optimized decks. The developers earned respect by open-sourcing the game's assets after closure, allowing fans to continue creating content and keeping the spirit of the game alive.

One of the best digital card games bringing in more depth with the positioning on the battlefield. Superb designs, spectacular pixel art and animation and intriguing lore. And the fact that the developers released the assets and made it so the fans can use it to make more games based on it to keep the game alive after shutting the servers shows how much love the developers had for this game and is down right LEGENDARY!! Thank you for this great game!

Score: 3/5 Good 1v1 PvP strategy game with moderate balance issues. Small player base with a lot of very good players with very strong units wrecked me frequently, making it very hard to stick with as a new F2P player. Great art style/direction, including animations.

Every day for the past ten years I am constantly thinking about Shadow Creep spam builds.

Games like Frostpunk for anyone who misses the Book of Laws more than the cold: the sequel's factions, a besieged house, beaver droughts, a drifting ark and the template it came from.
