The difficulty curve on this game is just whack. I've beaten slay the spire at ascension 20 (hardest possible difficulty) half a dozen times and I find this game intensely frustrating at the easiest difficulty.

Like yes I see that there are ways that I *could* have averted problems with the right combination of cards but the synergies are way too easy to disrupt. So if I luck into the right draws the fights are easy while if I luck into the wrong cards at the wrong time I'm screwed. You have way less ways to manipulate your deck mid battle then in Slay the Spire or Griftlands so a bad draw just means you are up a creek.

It just feels masochistic to me in a way that an a20 run of Slay the Spire does not. I tried this again and again to try to grind through and get a hang for it but actually I've realized nah, it's not worth it.
