What players say
I was initially enjoying this quite a bit but the grind is wearing with time and I feel like I'm hitting a wall for enjoyment (and skill). A fun and pretty unique deck building concept that unnecessary also tries to incorporate some roguelike elements. Feels good to finally beat a level and move onto something new but the idea you almost need to grind old levels to have a chance in new one is making it feel like too...
Combines a roguelike deckbuilder with the positional tactics (and defenestration) of Tactical Breach Wizards. The individual fights feel like deep puzzles in a a way that most other deckbuilder combats do not.
Really fun and well made. Sometimes you get put into a bad position due to luck but as you play the game, its gets easier.
