Spellrune: Realm of Portals

It's like a hilariously broken STS. I was looking for something in the mold of STS, but this... really isn't it. Basically, if you're any good at games like these, you will break open the game on your first run due to its amazing lack of balance. My first character, at the time I stopped playing forever, was breezing through the game with relics that: Stunned every enemy, even bosses, for 6 turns at the beginning of every battle. Started enemies taking 110% damage. Started enemies with 7 poison. Started enemies with 7 incineration (fire poison). Gave me absurd defense every turn without playing defense cards. It's awful. It's really awful. Don't buy it. If you're looking for something a bit like slay the spire that isn't totally stupid, maybe try Neoverse. That's still under development as well, but it's fun to play and promising.

Bad copy of Slay the Spire with crashes... :-(

Played an hour of this game and it's just very "bland". All the cards are the same, all the monsters don't have any personality or style. Nothing really interesting about it and feels very cheap.

Easy to learn

This IS a ripoff of Slay the Spire, but I like Slay the Spire so..... I like this game. It is a little too easy, but honestly, most games are too difficult for me, so I do enjoy the story, characters, graphics, and while it looks like I played 8.2 hours, it is probably more like 3 hours because I kept it on not knowing if I'd lose my progress. I'm surprised and pleased at how much content there is in an early access game. I think once I got into the 100s portal, it would freeze and not let me add a card or go back, so then I figured I had enough. I had to restart twice (and it DOES save progress, by the way).

Casual Easy to play
