Aestheta

this game is simple and complex in the right amount.

4.5/5 Fantastic game, absolutely loved everything about it. The pixel art is really pretty, the music is nice, the gameplay is fun. I think it just needs a bit more polishing and some more content and you could 100% charge me like 20$ or more for this game and I would be perfectly fine with it. Go try it out especially for how cheap it is, I would honestly consider buying this game for all my friends. Aestheta is a roguelike clash royale like game where you are trying to climb the tower of Aestheta by fighting bot enemies. I loved clash royale as a kid and sunk probably hundreds of hours into that so I guess I am biased when it comes to this game, but I feel like this game is just a better more stable version of clash royale with multiple fantastic twists that make it its own game. The gameplay loop is addictive and getting all achievements in the game was decently fun except having to grind out tickets to have a better chance for the Ultimate Champion achievement. The art is really pretty and before you immediately put the game away because the women have boobs, dont worry the men have abs too (LMAO), and I like the women so suck it. Anyways the pixel art is really pretty and you can really imagine the world. The actual characters are fantastic too they have lovely and distinct designs and their move sets are all special. Obviously when you start playing you will start identifying which cards are based on which Clash Royale card, like the partyloon which is similar in idea to the clash royale balloon, but there are still plenty of cards that have really cool and fun abilities and attack patterns. I also would argue that it doesnt really matter if there are copies since the strategy of the game would need these kinds of cards to exist for it to work out. The story and characters are fantastic, they all have personalities which you learn about over the course of many playthroughs and the dialogue they have with each other. The story telling is paced so well and you discover the plot of aestheta and the people in it as you play at your own pace. Now for the part where I complain, I think this game does need a bit of polishing and I am kinda sad it doesn't have even more, but I am really happy with what I did get, I had a really fun like 38 hours out of this game. The game has multiple bugs that do make it just work not how you want it to. I decided to just write out a list of all the issues I would like fixed, I hope the dev sees it and gets the motivation to update it for people who want to buy it in the future. Also thank you so much for this awesome game if you do see this. List of fixes I think are needed and you might find these important to know (no specific order): [list] [*]Enemies when placed on a lane without a princess tower will go to the middle, get confused and wont go for king tower instead going for the other princess tower [*]Teammate AI in double battle will often wait with full energy, screwing you over hard [*]Having the card menu open while you are selecting a battle causes you to randomly select cards [*]When you lose and go back to the menu it resets your chosen deck and mode so you have to reselect which challenge you want to do [*]Sometimes clicking items in the shop doesnt work, the only way to reset it is by selecting something else, but if you already bought the other items you just cant buy the last item [*] Sometimes buying an item gives a notification in the chest menu even though nothing happened [*] Cannot access settings from main menu or close the game properly from the main menu [*]Sometimes the indicator for placing imp gang shows the mice sprites instead [*]You cannot drag a card onto the board, only click [*]You can accidentally leave the upgrade screen by clicking the screen before it appears [*]In the papilio challenge the towers sometimes dont fire and sometimes do, im not sure what it was supposed to do but it being random which one it does is annoying [*]The mime can blast off into the arena walls, it also looks like her momentum is increasing as she hits the wall which causes her to fly across the arena [*]I got the achievement for doing all challenges when I didnt complete the Dimidiatum challenge [*]The ouroboros item doesn't apply to purchased upgrades [*]The amount of stats given for a card is a bit lackluster like spells should have a duration stat or buildings that spawn should have stats on the characters it spawns [*]If you place a card right above a tower it gets stuck inside of it [/list]

clash royale but good and with big boobies,,, this is everything i ever wanted

instantly hooked by the game and glad the developer has decided to stick with it despite the negative feedback. I was always interested in clash royale but the p2w aspects just put me off, so im glad to have an option suited for me. The dialogue isnt super deep but it doesnt need to be for this type of game, and I like the little teases of the greater worldbuilding it offers. Hope we get an updates where we can play as S.A.M and the champion shopkeeper in the future, and maybe a pirate hero

Want to say, as a person that plays Clash Royale. This is genuinely a great game. it takes what made clash royale good, adds rouge-like and unique cards, and actually makes the player think of strategy compared to having op mechanics and p2w stuff. Some things i would comment on though are how there are definitely a certain group of cards that are good while some are mid or barely used (i looped more than 10 times with the starting deck and one champion to replace rats ;-;). Still, very fun. Would recommend and it doesn't make you rage.

Was a very fun game for the most part, only part that stopped me though were some of the bugs that were being faced in the game, especially with facing the latter challenges. I would still recommend it, but I hope the developer gets to fixing these bugs soon, or at least somebody comes up with a mod patch to fix the issues with this game.

4.5/5 I Have been playing this for the last few days and I have been loving it. I have recently been dragged back into clash royal and this game scratches that itch without being as frustrating while still being enjoyable. Similar to most rougelights you can build up an amazing deck that destroys most opponents. It can be a bit easy at times especially if you played clash royal before I feel like its at a good difficulty where it still challenges but can be relaxing. My only real qualm is that with the randomized deck character, You can't get card shop nor champion shop which I don't really understand why when that is also a separate challenge modifier, but it hurts the rougelight elements for that character in my opinion where most decks you can swap out some cards to fine tune the deck to your liking, the deck that feels like it should impose the most creativity or planning is locked to having only the cards you start with, while only being able to buy relics to change up how your deck plays. But other than that its Amazing really especially for the price 3 bucks feels like i got it on sale. If you like clash Royal or rouge lights you would most likely like this as it fits into the genre quite nicely

Its dirt cheap, and it is quite close enough to "roguelike clash royale". Not much more to say about this one, besides that, really. Cards are fun, factions are fun.
