While a very different game, I just love what this offers. I feel that in many other deckbuilding games, I get lost in all the effects which makes it very hard to calculate damage and optimize your move. I feel the developers tried hard to not include enemy effects that modify damage or armor so the Interface really tells you all the numbers you need to plan your best move, which is quite rewarding.

Beneath Oresa is a solid deck builder that is extremely difficult until one picks up the nuances of it's system. It looks fantastic and plays like no other deck builder I have encountered, it almost looks like a comic book in motion. The mechanics in this game are pretty obtuse as there is much trial and error. Initially it can be overwhelming as the devs throw you into the gamut without much help, relying on your knowledge of other deck builders is critical, and even then the system can be overwhelming. It takes a good seven to ten hours to become somewhat comfortable with the different characters and companions. I recommend using the character Jokun to start as he is very strong and can keep you in fights that may be overwhelming with other characters. Companion wise, I would use the drone or the girl knight as they give healing and defense but unfortunately you will have to do some grinding for her. I think this is a great game, however there are some caveats. First is the aforementioned lack of clarity for how the systems work making it an exercise in frustration that if you do not have the patience or the time can lead to quitting the game or losing interest. Second is the lack of any dialogue between the characters. I am all for "making your own story" but damn so context would be nice for who these people are, why they are fighting, what are they fighting for, what is Oresa and who are these bosses? Overall a solid game that needs some refinement if the developer wishes future iterations of this or success for their other IPs. I think some DLC could take this game a long way...Also a bestiary for the characters and enemies with brief descriptions. Just some thoughts. I give this game an 80% - B- *LoA*

This game deserves WAY more recognition! It is an absolute blast to play because of the music, the atmosphere, and most especially the wonderful mechanics I don't think I've seen in other deckbuilders. The fact that some cards grant you bonuses if they are auto-discarded instead of being played is such an interesting way to approach how a round is played. Aside from Fights in Tight Spaces, I think this game also exemplifies a new standard other deckbuilders should live up to in regards to having epic cinematic animations play out whenever you play a card. That attention to style, detail, and production really helps bolster an otherwise already awesome card game.

I hardly ever post reviews, but seeing Recent Reviews be Mixed for this game was annoying me a bit so here goes. As someone with (currently) 66 hours played, and having beaten 9 of the 10 challenge levels available, let me address potential buyers and talk about the main complaint of the majority of negative reviews: the difficulty. Is the game hard? Yes. Could it use some tutorials and better explanations for some of the mechanics? Absolutely. Could the balancing be better? 100%, the power difference between some characters is insane. Beneath Oresa is a difficult game that expects you to figure it all out on the fly, add the RNG inherent to this genre and yeah, even if you know what you're doing, a run might not always work out. Now with all that said, is the game this unfathomably difficult, nigh impossible to beat tribulation that some reviews claim it is? No, it really isn't. Don't get me wrong, it's perfectly understandable to botch your first couple of attempts, like I said it's a hard game, but it shouldn't take you too long to start figuring out the mechanics, remembering the good cards, getting the gist of it overall. After that just apply the same basic strategies you'd apply to any other deckbuilder and you're good to go. If you think Beneath Oresa looks cool but you're unsure about buying it due to the Mixed reviews, then trust me, it's not that bad as long as you're willing to sit through some failed attempts learning the game and the strategies. Just play enough to unlock Jokan (he's so much better than the remaining roster, it's pretty silly), then focus on increasing your hand size, pulse, and removing base cards from your deck, it can be tricky but it is more than doable. And most importantly, once you do figure out how it all works and can reliably win (or get close to at least), the game gets pretty fun. So yeah, don't get intimidated by some of the negative reviews. I'm not gonna pretend it's a flawless experience, it sure doesn't deserve to be labeled Overwhelmingly Positive or even Very Positive, but it's been sitting on the Mixed limbo for a while now and it shouldn't: it's a decent enough roguelike deckbuilder that is rough around the edges for sure, but can get quite fun once you get the hang of it.

This is a fun game. And I wonder why people said that it is a hard one - it took me many hours to finish a run in Slay the Spire, I don't think that I even beat the first boss on my first run. And here I got to the last boss on my first try and completed a run after a bit more than 3 hours. It is not easy, but if you are paying attention to what is happening and focus on removing cars - it is fun. Maybe with less strategies than in StS for each specific character, but then you have 9 characters instead of 4 each could be paired to a companion who are all different enough to matter. Overall, it is a good game with interesting and unusual lore and nice visuals.
