Heavily inspired by slay the spire. Overall pretty fun. Balance is not great off; melee is so much stronger than ranged. Game play loop is pretty enjoyable once you figure out the balance. In game currency trickles in (~200 / 20min game) and prices are ridiculously high (8000+), so don't expect to be able to buy a few new characters without 12+ hours of play.
Extremely fun game with potential to be better still! unlike some of the other reviews, I don't believe that you have to rely on in-app to play this game. A few suggestions: I'd like to see the Glossary updated and complete and I think that the heroes could use short, video tutorial overviews, especially if you intend to add more. I'm hesitant to buy them and try them because I don't understand them. I love the game overall and I cant wait to see what else they add!
to be honest, the game should be free, since you're paying for characters, or a flat rate. grinding, is definitely notable here, not a bad thing, but that's what i feel is also a killer aspect. i do like the randomness of each encounter, be it good or bad. you'll technically spend 5$ on most characters if you don't grind. to me, that's asking a lot when they all are on paper, similar. i think you should cut prices a bit or offer bundles.
I really don't understand why this is an Editors Choice pick. The visuals and game play are five-star-worthy. The problem is the time barrier to progress. While most content is unlockable with time, the in-game currency cost of those items compared to what you can earn per-run is off balanced for a paid title. I have read the developers comments related to this mechanic and I can't agree with the logic. A paid title should not feel like such a grind for simple progression.
Fun game but requires a lot of grinding to unlock skins, locations and new characters. Each will cost from 2000 - 8000 gold each and assuming you have a run from start to finish you will earn 560 gold, thats "if" you can actually beat all three bosses. Over all it's a good game but be prepared for some grinding if your looking to unlock more content. So over all a good game but would like more options for earning gold.
I have my criticism but don't be too put off by it. The game is A LOT of fun. Easy to pickup and hard to put down. Perfect for commutes or when you need to kill a few minutes This definitely feels like a paid demo. Most of the heros you play on your journey and all the environments are unlockable but after putting 10 hours in, I've only had enough to unlock one hero and one environment. Either grind for days, weeks, months or pay full price through micro transactions or just go but it on steam.
Fun for a few hours, then you'll need to spend money to progress. The first couple of unlocks can be earned through a reasonable amount of gameplay, but after that the cost to unlock new characters, abilities, etc. through normal gameplay rises VERY steeply. Of course, you can skip countless hours of grinding if you start forking over cash. I guess I can't play a game that costs $1 for basically having a free-to-play shakedown structure, but it's still disappointing.
As a time killer this is fine, but the more you advance the more frustrating it becomes, and I don't mean the difficulty scaling. The problem with this roguelike deckbuilder is the deckbuilding itself. Dozens, then hundreds of cards unlock as you go, many of them useless (especially for a given character), but all thrown into the same build pool. Since you're always forced to keep adding to your deck, each run just gets clumsier and more self-defeating even as the challenge demands the opposite.
This game is great. Runs well, alot of content, and really fun. I'm rating it two stars because it's a premium game, but it's also pay to win. Make gold easier to get. It is horrible how hard it is to unlock anything because the rewards are too low. I'll give more stars when the in game currency is increased. Shouldn't be this tedious for a premium game.
Mostly good, but borderline ruined by the AP system: a resource is forcably expended, necessary to survive, and pointless. It is especially annoying to go out of your way to refill then die because you clicked leave shop too soon, but cant go back into the shop on the same tile for ??? reason. "Hey I did everything right and and am set to clear the game, but I'm about to die because I clicked leave store too soon." The AP system adds very little to the game at the cost of regular frustration.
