It's.... fine. I wouldn't recommend buying it unless on pretty heavy sale, but it just hasn't chosen particularly good mechanics to try to incorporate into a slot machine type of game. On a more subjective note, it just doesn't have any "sauce." The menus are fairly simple, animations are light, and the end screens for battles as well as the combo VFX are incredibly underwhelming. It may not *seem* like a huge deal but in a game this random it basically has to feel rewarding when things do hit or else it doesn't feel like the payoff was good enough.3 found this helpful
At the beginning the trinkets were a bit luckluster, but after a few rounds I can say there are a few fun build variations. It does trigger the 'One more round' syndrom. Really good price for what you get. Works well on Steam Deck. 9/101 found this helpful
Great twist on a connect roguelite. Learning curve takes a bit to really understand the scaling and patterns. Starts simple and gets complicated fast in a good way as you unlock more of the characters, relics, and amulets.
And here i thought "No way this game is interesting" Well well well how wrong I was. This is a really well made roguelike. It has a wide variety of trinkets and you unlock even more with time. Some of the trinkets are very impactfull completely shifting your strategy and playstyle which is why no run feels the same even in my 90 hours. And every strategy feels viable. And it is very satisfying when your strategy works. Just gotta get through early runs. I felt really weak at the beginning and even started thinking I am missing something. But the more stuff you unlock the better it gets
Solid roguelite fun for lovers of Balatro and Cloverpit!
