this is another one of those super satisfying addicting games that u lose track of time in. very similar to Backpack Battles, yet with it's own spin using essence and Cosmions to combine stronger and better fighters/debuffs/buffs. the art is really charming, the dev is super active and is fixing bugs super speedy. the road map looks very promising, for the price tag and hours i've spent and plan on spending..totally 💯worth!!

A very neat inventory management game where you just send your army of guys against the other guys army of guys for the amusement of the crowds. So if you've played that one Nintendo Game you're familiar with all the implications: Pros: -As far as inventory management games I've gone through goes, Neoduel has an intuitive fusion system, mostly (but not always) using a specific fusion material that matches the enemy of what you want to evolve, which keeps part of the learning process lean -There's no classes, but the first batch of Cosmions you pick, plus talents you'll be accruing through the run make for the fun Roguelike variance we're looking for in an autobattler -The unusual shapes of some of the lategame zones, plus the fact that the UI actually digs into your otherwise perfectly square space, adds a welcome wrinkle to the exercise of just stacking a bunch of squares. -While mono-element builds are highly encouraged, there's a lot of mixed build opportunities, some seeded and some you can find, plus the aforementioned buffs you'll be earning can power otherwise unusual strategies through a medal run -Cosmion designs are cool. That's always kind of important when building a team of monsters -Async PvP continues to be a blessing. Just send it without having to wait for a queue or worrying about having to leave. Cons: -While building your own team is more intuitive thanks to the streamlined fusion system around elements, understanding the enemy build at a glance takes experience, Since you can't really tell whats an attacker at a glance as you would if it were a sword. Some builds' payloads aren't even attackers, they just do damage, and you'll have to figure that out. -Sometimes, to optimize your build, you'll have to put your critters upside down. Good videogame, always feel like I have time to fire a run and enjoy it.

Neoduel is the second "Backpack Autobattler" game in existence that I know of, the other being Backpack Battles which this game obviously took the formula from. Is that a bad thing you ask? Absolutely not. New entries in a genre of games are always welcome, otherwise we'd only have Diablo and no Path of Exile, or just Command & Conquer and no Age of Empires, Warcraft or Starcraft. Pros: -Neoduel has a great amount of items and synergies. -Due to the above replayability seems high, more so as they are continuing with post launch updates. -I don't care for the Neopets franchise at all, but the art is cute and acceptable even to a morbid horror fan like myself. lol Cons: -UI is a bit janky, but it's manageable and can only improve from here -The in-game encyclopedias to see monsters and fusions needs a ton of work. No search bars for monsters and no fusion page at all yet (WIP apparently) -Music is repetitive and announcer voiceover is comically bad (disable both and play some music, no big deal) -The game could reaaaaally use some battle animations. Like shooting lightning and fireballs when your monsters attack. This would make your build feel visually rewarding instead of just watching a healthbar drain. Overall a solid game that is a breath of fresh air for the Backpack Autobattler genre. 7.5 / 10, would probably be a 9 if it had some basic battle animations, and 10 with some UI/codex/audio improvements.

I've just started, but I feel like I'm really getting the hang of it. I'm having so much fun with different builds and I hope it continues this way. The art is looking good, the music is excellent.
