The point being, killing you as much as possible. The game feels very difficult even from the get-go. But then it clicked - once you understand how to play around the dungeon cards and learn enemy types, the game opens up and kills you a bit less. To briefly explain the dungeon cards - each turn a trio of dungeon cards are presented - including, events, enemies, rest sites etc. The player selects one, and the other two are discarded. But more importantly, using mulligan makes one card return to the dungeon deck, replacing it by a new card. This is critical, because you want to smartly manipulate the dungeon deck as when it runs out, the boss arrives and they are no pushover. I found this simple new mechanic fun to interact with and a refreshing alternative from the usual map with nodes layout. The card play and decbuilding itself works well. There are some interesting combos, but nothing too crazy. The relics are plentiful and diverse, but again don't create OP combos …

Prisoners of Ulag'Bol is a combat card game with rogue-like elements. You choose from one of three classes (two start locked) and some pre-built deck options and work your way through a series of random encounters. To complete a run you will need to face a boss encounter which can be fairly varied. Deck building options are fairly simple and each deck tends to have fairly clear goals. You can mix it up a bit by visiting merchant and getting some items to change up your strategy some, but ultimately the runs are fairly short to mid in length so if you started with a spike deck you're probably going to finish with a spike deck. Though you do sometimes get chances to make interesting combos or lean into a second direction. The graphics are charming large blocky pixels. Some of the monsters could do with a little more fidelity, and they feel stretched in size when you meet them in the dungeon. However, they're still pretty charming. Animation is incredibly retro to match the pixel style graphics. There are some nice quality of life features such as being able to see the monster's attacks queued up before they happen, though influencing that queue beyond blocking or placing a status…

This game rules hard. So many classes and different deck builds to try out. The gameplay is challenging but fair, and pulling off a broken combo is such an amazing feeling. The challenge levels are INSANE. Once I got past the first couple, I kept getting WRECKED! I need a strategy vid ASAP. Highly recommended! If you're a fan of STS or Monster Train, would recommend giving Prisoners of Ulag'Bol a shot! Plus for the price you'll get your money's worth

Really love the aesthetic of the game, the difficulty curve feels pretty good. All around a good time, the only problem I've run across so far is the mage's shock deck has a lot of cards that don't work. Plasma ball gives the enemies block, a couple cards don't do the damage and static like they say, one or two frost cards acted like that as well. Other than that, pretty fun.

It needs too much attention for me to recommend. Some good polishing with play tester input would drastically improve the gameplay and play experience.

You have to double click everything. Eeeeeverything. It gets super irritating very quickly.
