Very addicting roguelike deckbuilder, with an emphasis on summoning! There's a ton of variety of cards and heroes you can play, all with different abilities that make it so fun to try and find new synergies. Love the addition of fate encounters with dice rolls. The price can seem a bit steep for the genre, but 56 hours in-I've definitely got my money's worth!
Played a demo
The basic mechanics are good, turn-based battles with TCG mechanics of summoning monsters and casting spells. But the visuals are just abysmal. The art style is generic and uninspired. The character movements are stiff. Plus, I just absolutely hate top-down views. Isometric is fine but seeing the top of the character's and enemies' heads is just really a stupid vantage point in my opinion.
I ran into a problem at the end of the first dungeon where I (playing on novice difficulty) could not beat the final boss despite exploring the whole dungeon, getting every upgrade I could, and going into the battle with full health. I've played a lot of turn-based strategy games. I'm not amazing at them but I feel like there is a balance issue if I'm having trouble beating the first boss with 100% dungeon completion.
Again, the mechanics are solid and I think the game has a lot of potential. It's just not for me. If you don't mind the art style, give it a go. Demo is still available so there's no risk.
