Fantastic deckbuilder. Mechanics are engaging, deck building is fun, the classes & starting bonuses play differently every time. AI is challenging. One of the best implementations of movement in a deckbuilder I've seen (tied with Mahokenshi). Theme is also on point.

Highly recommended, though do note it gets better as you unlock things.

Some solid, fun, tactical game play here. Building your deck, making tactical map movements and planning how to clear the Arena are all fun things.

You have two weapon slots, and the cards are colour based which means you need to balance that. Also the balance between damage and block is a fun struggle.

The game loop is solid, bug free and a slick UI makes putting orders in easy and enjoyable.

There are two few branches to make your own (fire build, block build, ranged build) and the movement system is a game design fail, because it removes a potential rich source of tactical fun as you out maneuverer your opponents. Its often frustrating with enemy AOEs and sheer numbers that your one hex move just doesn't get you out of harms way.

The content is a bit thin, I am running into the same bosses and enemies after 5 runs already. I'm not a fan of the huge pixel style art, it just looks cheap and lazy on my 4K monitor...

If you like Slay the Spire or Into the Breach then pick this up on a sale.

I had only ever played card games like hearthstone, and shadowverse. When I played them, I always faced the problem of not having cards to make a proper deck, needing to spend money to get cards, so it is my first time playing a game that has cards you unlock, and collect as you progress the stages. I really enjoyed how they made cards being the main reward when challenging stages which fits the rogueike genre without you always playing with the same cards. Overall a really great game.
