honesty and unexpected gem in build-your-deck type of games, as it also has brings the tactical terrain and obstacles to the combat, witch i really liked. The only downside to the game is that I find it a bit repetitive and after a while variety of the builds, enemies, encounters seems lacking. But i really enjoyed the first 40 hours.

Super fun, deep, and rewarding merger of a tactical turn-based RPG and a deck-builder. You build a party of 3, each character having their own deck built from their equipment (each piece adding 1-3 cards, stats, and sometimes artifact-like traits), plus a core set of cards based on their class. Characters get to upgrade or replace one of these each level. There's a lot to explore and different strategies to try, and the rare equipment can be pretty interesting and game changing. Finding synergies, and successfully pulling off board clearing combos, is satisfying as hell. My one and only complaint is that initially, you can only pick from 3 classes to pick from. There are 9 in total, but unlocking them is kind of slow. It's not too too bad, I think I'll have most unlocked after this current run, and the last 3 classes maybe after a couple more. I just wish you started with a couple more unlocked from the get-go, but the game is good enough to forgive this one gripe :) Word!

This is definitely a half-hearted thumbs up for this game. I guess I'm not a huge fan of cards you get that come with the equipment. There are skills involved with each piece you get, which could be good but also bad. Yes, there's a "honing" function so that you may get rid of the "bad" skills but you have to have the materials to do that and of course those are usually expensive or you have to find them randomly in each point of interest. Unfortunately there's a time limit and so you can't just move around collecting all of these pieces. Of course this means you'll just be SOL and you have to live with the gear. I'm not sure, but in my first game (medium difficulty) I got to the last boss and nearly killed him. After that, I can't even make it to the 2nd boss without dying. I do like the different characters and the willpower management system. This game is a very difficult game. To succeed - you must do careful gear and skill card management and balancing to make it through. Even on "Easy" mode this game isn't that easy.

Yeah, this is a good tactical, card-based roguelike. But there's an underrated feature that bumps this game up even further for me: from icon-click on the desktop to gameplay takes under ten seconds; usually around 4. If you're like me and can't stand long load times to get into games, check this one out.

Every now and then I look back at this game in my library and reminisce a bit. It was honestly a ton of fun while also delivering a gameplay system that is unique among the droves of roguelike card battlers on steam. For every bit the enemy mobs were unfair and overpowered, you equally had potential to find ridiculous combinations and abuse the AI to survive. Possibly not for the most casual of gamers hoping to coast along without worrying about their every action, as your action economy both in battle and overworld travel is vital. All I could possibly ask of this game is for the developers to release a sequel or DLC; but that seems unlikely at this time.
