Two major categories of rogue games have always been high-skill action based rogues and strategic deck builders, both of which provide their own challenges and skill sets for players to discover and master. OSFE offers a unique and masterful blend of both these categories to create an unforgettable and practically perfect rogue experience.
For me, the strongest part of OSFE was how it divided the cards into categories, with each category containing cards which can rage from cards which focus on different elements of the game including, but not limited to, status effects, structures, and of course, deck manipulation. Building a deck with a solid theme is supported by the various artifacts. Each artifact feels different and impactful; picking up certain artifacts can change how you'd adapt to the playstyle of your deck. The pure versatility of gameplay brought on the cards and artifacts is enough to provide a seemingly infinite number of possibilities, making every run truly different.
What sets OSFE apart from other rogues with high versatility is that the characters of OSFE, on top of having immaculate character design, each promote different aspects of the game. Want to build a deadly kunai deck? Try Shiso's alternate kit. Want to demolish enemies with freeze attacks? Selicy is your girl. Want to build up an unstoppable barrage of turrets, walls, and bombs? Hazel is for you. The list goes on. On top of it all, each character has an alternate kit and high quality skins, giving players even more incentive to beat the game with each character.
In terms of gameplay itself, it's as smooth as can be. Although the limited 16 tiles you can move to may seem restricting, the fact-paced dodging and tight movement suit it perfectly. Additionally, the way the cards you play manipulate the battlefield really feel impactful due to the small size of the field. Covering my opponents board with unavoidable flames or breaking all their tiles to keep them in one spot as I line up deadly precision shots never fails to feel rewarding.
tl;dr There truly isn't a playstyle that OSFE doesn't encompass. Battles are fast paced and the game never presents you with a dull moment. Overall, OSFE is a perfect blend of both action and deckbuilding. 10/10 buy this game now.
