RUNGORE

This game has so much personality it hurts. No literally, it hurts. This game hates you. It has no respect for you. RNG on RNG on RNG on RNG on RNG. That's what you get. Have good build going? Not anymore. RNG said here's some dookie cards that lead to your inevitable death. Cards are looking spicy? Except now you're facing an enemy that plays your cards against you. Hopefully you're pushing out crazy DPS. If not, there goes half your planned out hand. Balance? Naw, that doesn't exists. This game doesn't want you win unless you pull off a lucky gimmick run. I hate this game. I love this game. GG's Rungore. You meme'd the crap out of me.

Has a NG+ mode where you beat all the stages in a row. But the game reliably starts bugging out near the end every time, and ends up crashing. My last run took over 2 hours and crashed over halfway through the final level. Any guide you look up will warn you about this. Can't really recommend an unfinished mess like that. Too bad, I like pretty much everything else there is to like about it.

As it turns out, maybe real time card battlers aren't fun. Well at least not this one.

Wonderful game, but difficult. A real time fighting game you use cards as weapons or shields. You pick a hero, choose a few cards from a pool, and decide which cards to use now and which to save for the next battle. There are some interesting cards, some create combos and poison for both sides, but parasites are the worst. I can’t beat the lab level. They keep cloning and adding monsters to defeat. Each hero is unique with their own set of cards and way to attack, creating completely different feelings and strategies. I unlocked them one after another, and the new hero is indeed stronger than the last. Before the muscle guy it was the exhausted guy. Enemies are interesting, too. The most unforgettable ones might be the slime keeps splitting like matryoshka dolls, and the group of four monsters must all be defeated within a short time, otherwise they revive each other. You also encounter events along the way, as an outcome you might get a full deck, or it could lead straight to death. The actual play is serious and difficult, but the dialogue is mostly humorous. I also like that in the store, after you buy [spoiler]communism [/spoiler] all upgrades will become free. I laughed …

Fun in concept, but it isn't really what it makes it self out to be. I tried the demo a bunch and thought it was okay, but I thought the game would be better based off of the reviews. It was a lot better than the demo thankfully, but it's not the deck builder vibe-thing it sets it out to be, its more of a resource management auto battler. Which is fine, it's just not what I was hoping. Cards get deleted the moment you play them, which means in order to do combos or be strategic, you have to horde cards for the right moment, and if you mess up, it's tough luck. Lastly its very RNG dependent. Many characters have instant revive attacks that just keep reviving, which is stuff since you can't tell when they'll stop reviving, you don't know when to use your cards. Some times I've died from having no block, but the card rewards never gave me any. Card rewards can also give you worse options (Offering wood armor when you have diamond, ect.) completely eliminating a choice. They do have a fun quick to choose event system though. Lastly boss relics are super fun, but they are either: - Do a bijillion damage when you get block! - Revive once per fight! (Up to 10 times a floor) Or - D…

Fun, quick, card battle game.
