Sept. 2024

I like this game but it's frustrating it was unfinished. There are traces of unimplemented features like unused inventory slots, and dead end plot threads. What's there is certainly a good game but it's cruel how some things seem possible and it takes a google search to learn they stopped working on the game. Was gonna leave a negative review for that but nah, like this game too damn much for that.

April 2024

This game is a total brain teaser and a brilliant merge of an RPG and deckbuilding. What truly hooked me was the constant sense of exploration. Every loop offered an opportunity to experiment with new cards, to try out fresh strategies to conquer the path and break the cycle. Would adding a swamp next to the goblin camp create a deadlier (and more rewarding) encounter? Would placing a vampire mansion near the hero's starting point be a strategic masterstroke or a recipe for disaster? The possibilities were endless, and the thrill of discovering a powerful new combo or witnessing the effects of your environmental manipulation was immensely satisfying. Thankfully, the minimalist interface never gets in the way of the strategic depth. Everything is understandable and easy to use, which is crucial for a game that relies on experimentation and quick decision-making. A complex interface could have easily become an insurmountable hurdle, turning the strategic dance into a frustrating exercise in menu navigation. The game strikes a perfect balance, allowing players to focus on the core gameplay loop without unnecessary clutter. It is a unique and captivating experience, but it might not be for everyone. The meditative gameplay and slow drip-feed of story might not resonate with all players. Some nights you'll find yourself staring down the business end of a boss monster, questioning the repetitive nature of the loop. However, for those who enjoy strategic depth disguised in a deceptively simple package, and who find satisfaction in slowly unraveling a mystery, this game offers a journey like no other. Lore? No, just no. Is it worth the money? While the replayability factor might be limited for some, the initial experience and strategic depth make it a worthwhile purchase. Is it enjoyable? For majority of the gamers, I would suppose. Will I ever play it again? Unlikely.

This game had me obsessed for a couple of weeks. It is repetitive (duh) and grindy but I don't mind that. The story gets surprisingly philosophical and the art style makes me think of Berserk (especially the design of the second boss). Loved the attention to detail!

Feb. 2024

This starts out very strong- It's a great blend of strategy and incremental gameplay, and I love the art and music. It's a very compelling early game experience, and easy to see why it was such a big hit! I found it drops off from there pretty quickly though. I played this through to the end out of persistence / stubbornness, but the back half of the game is a real slog. Poorly balanced, very grindy and repetitive, and I felt the narrative was constantly undercutting itself by making fun itself while still wanting to be taken seriously (with a LOT of text to read, but very little of which amounts to anything). So: I recommend playing it through the first boss, and then pretending that's where it ends! Still a totally worthwhile experience, but you exit on a high note. I wish that's what I had done.
