Among card games, this is the one I’ve enjoyed the most. I would recommend it to everyone!!3 found this helpful
Addictive. Great art style. One of the best deckbuilders I've ever played and I've played quite a few. Very inexpensive for the amount of content you get. Highly recommend supporting these devs.3 found this helpful
TL;DR: If you like roguelike deck builders; this is one of the best ones I've played, and I've played a good majority of them in the market. It's unique, challenging in a fair way, the graphics look like they were inspired from Darkest Dungeon and even with 15 hours in the game, I still feel like I barely scratched the surface. I went into this roguelike deckbuilder completely blind, and it hooked me almost immediately. I’ll admit, I might be a bit biased since I love games like Slay the Spire, Roguebook, Beneath Oresa, and Fight in Tight Spaces (and many many more). What I enjoy most about those games is the mix of turn-based strategy and deckbuilding—paying attention to small details while building synergies between cards, items, and abilities to create something either OP or just really smooth to play. One thing I don’t love about the genre, though, is how heavily some games rely on RNG. Sometimes your entire run can fall apart just because you didn’t get the card you needed. While strategy still matters, it can feel out of your control at times. That’s where this game stands out. This feels much less reliant on RNG compared to other deckbuilding roguelikes. There’s a lot …2 found this helpful
Solid rogue-lite deck builder. Feels a little bit darkest dungeon, little bit slay the spire. Probably not as hard as either of those, but the challenge is enough to be engaging without being oppressive. Feels like more development could happen but i feel i got my moneys worth out of the current state of the game.2 found this helpful
Tried the demo out for this game and decided to buy it. Was hooked into the mechanics and gameplay. Surprised more people have not played this as I think it is right up there with Slay the Spire and other deckbuilding games. Really enjoying the game and look forward to 1.0.2 found this helpful
This is a really well crafted Slay the Spire like game with some original ideas added. I love it.
