Hidden gem! I'm having more fun with this game than with any other of this genre :)3 found this helpful
Relapse is a low budget roguelite deckbuilder, but it's a heck of a lot of fun. There are a number of different build options to pursue and the game does a good job of letting you feel like you've built a runaway powerhouse. For $4 base price, you can't go wrong with this.1 found this helpful
Not much to say, it's a good, balanced roguelike and it respects both your time and your money. Worth playing!
This is a hidden gem. It deserves way more recognition because as far as complexity of gameplay goes there's SO much going on here it'll take you months to figure out. Not sure why more people don't talk about this cause I've played almost every major Deckbuilder out there and this one really intrigues me a lot more than even STS does. In fact I'll go out on a limb and say it's more engaging that Slay the Spire. I don't like talking about graphics, but the graphics are simplistic but don't represent the complexity of the actual game. Whoever made this clearly has a love for the genre.
If I'm rating this game on it's own as a deckbuilder I'd have to say it's pretty good. It has good strategy, a good explanation of mechanics, and a lot of things to unlock and collect. Good replayability and a pretty solid difficulty balance. If you like this genre it's certainly worth your time. If I'm rating this game based on it's price it's easily in my top ten best value for your buck games. There's even a demo. C'mon.
Visually this looks pretty cool, that's one reason it's addictive, there's a big collection of clothes, weapons, pet animals, cards. Took me 147 hours to get all the achievements.. at first I just enjoyed playing without doing much effort to figure out the best strategies though, so you can do it faster if you use your mind. For this price there's no need to hesitate getting it.
