To be fair i have only played this game for about 6 hours but i feel like i can leave an honest review. It took me a bit of time and about 5 times playing through to understand that I needed to protect my life otherwise i didn't have a chance. Once i figured out that i was able to progress pretty well. Combining different features in the game allowed me to feel quite powerful which is something i enjoy very much. I do recommend this one if your looking for a bit of thought and a relaxing journey!

I thought this was an easy passive game and I was getting pretty cocky through the whole first level, as I easily beat the end boss with life to spare. Round two rolls up and absolutely destroys me, both in the game and my cocky attitude. Level one left me feeling like I had the game down, and Level 2 left me wanting to give it another shot. It was the perfect amount of trickiness to encourage my motivation to spend more time on the game and not get bored.

Great game! I enjoyed the progression of leveling up and using more complex sets of actions to beat each enemy. You need to balance attacking, shielding, and healing. My kids enjoyed watching and coaching me up on what to do. There's something therapeutic about the simple flow of the game.

This is a fun and accessible game, and the upgrades are exciting. If you beat an event and you pass the final boss, you can get new abilities and find new strategies. You can also play locally with your friends and compete to see who can beat the game faster.

Its a lot like Slay the Spire, yet the use of a grid with cards is a nice curveball to the genre. Great game for the price
