This is hands down the best rogulike deck builder I've ever played. It didn't take me very long to get hooked into this game. The amount of content and freedom in the game is amazing. Want to build your tank for bleed damage? Go for it. Want your ranged guy to build defense and thorns? Done Want to stack crazy amounts of elemental damage? Have your healer help your mage stack them. The amount of content is great as well, including the DLCs. You have to work through your runs and do quests to unlock playabke character and pets. You level up the heroes you play with and gain more stats for their skill tree. Your town has an upgrade system from the items you can find in the shop to getting discounts on said items. You unlock more cards as you venture through the game and the characters have a small leveling system through your run as well. I think my absolute favorite part is it's co-op so you can have your friends help control an amount of the 4 heroes. They also ping to help with picking out cards in your hands or help make choices during the events you encounter on the map. The only negative that comes to light is that the runs can be pretty time consuming especially to newer players. Solo runs can also be tedious having to control 4 heroes and build them out, but i feel like this gets easier with experience as well. This game is easily in my 10 and I'm looking forward to every future run.

I wanted to wait until I had over a thousand hours before I left a review. Hands down, one of my favorite games to play in recent history. I've only now as of late have begun to add the difficulty modifiers and the challenge has been upped, in a sense presenting me with more dynamics to overcome. Ultimately, It's really not that hard to beat the game. I just love the art style, the card combos and variations therein, and of course the different paths you can go each play through (of the standard mode). This game is the natural progression once you have played out Slay the Spire, Monster Train, etc. And for me, it has yet to 'get old', unlike me, who now finds those odd hairs growing off my ears, or more moles than I remember ever having. If your wondering, try it for yourself. Note that there are two other run-through types modes, random team generate and weekly high score runs with random developer create teams and special modifiers. Have fun!

Well, damn. I thought I'd only played this for a few days and it's apparently been 150 hours (give or take). Where did that time go. This is a different take on the deck builder where you will select a group of characters with very different focuses and starting decks. Instead of building and curating 1 deck throughout the game, you'll be curating and attempting to synergise 4 different decks. Experimenting with this game is just as fun as finding an almost cookie cutter spec that just works and laying waste. You can build out your deck with random cards that you pick up along the way, or you can keep it as trim and efficient as possible, depending on your playstyle (though you may struggle with larger decks at harder difficulties). Unlike games like Slay the Spire or Monster Train where the game is essentially over when you lose, the game will give you the option to play again (with the same opening cards on both sides) to change strategy and see if you can take down the encounter a different way. That this can be played solo or co-op just broadens the appeal and is good fun for different reasons in both situations. This is right up there with Slay the Spire for me as among the best deck builders and I would strongly recommend.

July 2024

Would be in the same conversation as Slay the Spire if they dump the launcher, fix their dlc (both overpriced and under delivering) and speed everything up by 1.5x or 2x. The runs last too long and the progression is too slow. Fix those things its an easy 8.5/10, right now maybe a 6.5/10.
