I had high hopes for this one despite disliking rogue-likes/lites due to the high review scores, but in the end it falls into the same kind of dull repetition that kills any of my interest to keep playing. It’s a cool take on poker, but I felt like my losses and wins were so luck-based that I felt no sense of progress or higher understanding, and the cards you unlock after every run didn’t really feel exciting either so that sense of ‘slowly upgrading for better runs as you go’ was very lacking too.

It’s a very nice concept and for rogue-fans, you’ll probably love it, but for me it was just kind of dull and disappointing.
