Хороший карточный рогалик, сделан с душой. Единственное в чем минус это иногда собираются билды имбалансные, которые уничтожают весь стол и даже не нужно думать. Думаю это докрутят и будет огонь. Разнообразного контента много.

Gameplay: 9/10 Graphics & Sound: 9/10 Narration: 6/10 ✔️ Very cool roguelite gameplay based on card grid movement. ✔️ Lots of variety in the gameplay of individual characters, without being too railroaded into one single possible build for each character. ✔️ Smart way to have an explicit influence over what items are offered to you with the luck stat and the affinity scores for different mechanics. ✔️ The biomes you navigate have some pretty nice variety as well, each with their own specifics! ✔️ Nice music, with a few particularly outstanding tunes. ✔️ Unique, clean, and enjoyable art style, with great harmony between different visual elements, and very fun and creative character designs. ✔️ The fact the game starts off for a while with a narrative track to follow and a lot of unlockables to discover really helps the onboarding phase, which on some roguelikes can feel somewhat repetitive and tedious. 💭 The narration itself is a bit on the nose. Not really bad, it's somewhat creative at moments, but I don't really enjoy it as much more than a pretext for the gameplay. Works rather well as such though. 💭 The way the game handles "infinite" battles you can keep continuing while you have resources is interesting but the way it's balanced makes it somewhat easy to actually make those battles infinite with certain builds, without any incentive to leave them before you maxed out the rewards, leading you to be able to "optimize the fun out of the game". I wish either you maxed out rewards faster, or the battles became exponentially more punishing depending on the time you spent in them. ❌ The game doesn't handle very well loop-like synergies that create long chain reactions. If you manage to pull something that does A whenever you do B and does B whenever you do A, if the loop doesn't stabilize the game state very fast, the game doesn't have any way to speed up repeated animations, and as a result I already happened to get stuck in a 10mn long loop until my game finished resolving all the actions. Not a huge issue once you are aware of it, since it's easy enough to avoid those situations, but it's a bit of a shame the game discourages crazy builds that trigger themselves again and again which can be pretty appealing in those kinds of games. Cool game, has its weak points, but solid and rich experience with a beautiful art direction, and a rather long lifetime based on unlockable gameplay elements.

Very simple yet very deep. Music is where it should be, simple yet not too much repetitive and folkloric as it must. The meta progression is light but just enough to keep you playing and you will actually get better without realizing it, perfect balance If you line roguelike , and deck building, it s a must have for that price
