I love this game. Well-designed, fun to explore the class archetypes and find new combinations. More importantly though, I love the transparency and openness of the devs, who explain their design decisions on their Discord server. On top of that, they don't do any ad nonsense, any microtransactions. There's a paid expansion for a one-time purchase, which is well worth its modest price tag. Would give this 6 stars if I could.

I wanted to like this - as the card building strategy genre is generally one I enjoy - but ultimately refunded due to time limit. Game feels bloated with keywords and tooltips don't always provide all the relevant info. Both the runs I played ended in ways that felt unfair, rather than due to decisions. My first I was attacked 5x before my first turn, dying from 70%. The second was less unfair, but it's just a boss hard counters one of the core mechanics but that means it's a bad mechanic.

Best spent money on a mobile game. No ads, devs are adding new things to the base game for free, there is a lot of replayability, ton of fun to play on a plane especially and I'm planning on getting some of the DLCs soon. Edit 2026: More and more cards are missing keywords explanations recently. for example some Code cards and warrior cards. That is very bothersome with a deck builder.
