Banners of Ruin

Затягивает. Игра не для всех и не для каждого, но ценители беспрерывного однообразия найдут ее привлекательной.

Great deckbuilder with an immersive atmosphere that somehow manages to feel a tad too shallow. Would love to see a sequel with tons more content.

I don't play a lot of deckbuilders, so take my two cents with a grain of salt, but I truly do not understand the mixed reviews. I bought it this summer sale and I've had a blast so far. My learning curve was steep and painful, RNG will never be my friend and I still make silly mistakes. But all in all it's a fun game, I really like the art style and it does have a lot of replay value, all while running great on the steam deck.

没有卡牌构筑爽感，ui交互很迟钝，有时候要点好几下，没有反复刷的欲望，打完一轮就没啥意思了，中评

pues cuando pueden arreglar su juego por que no puedo pasar de la pantalla principal

At full price this is a good deal. But when on sale... wow, you really can't find many deals like this. What a fantastic game! I've played and liked, and disliked, some other deckbuilding games but this one... it's exactly what any great game should be: Fun, Challenging, Rewarding, and Thank Every God - Does NOT force you info 1 path to success. There are so many choices and combinations in this game that you experience freedom of choice and great replay-ability! Unlike so many other games - you are NOT subject to a RNG determined death, nor are you subjected to a game that seems on the surface to give you choices but is truly as unforgiving as any slave master in determining your linear future. This game has some great cards and abilities that you can get... but there's no "best" anything, even cards that seem horrible are fantastic when used correctly. It does lack an undo button, so beware... because a false move or a missed action can hurt or even crush your ability to finish. Getting to the extra Prince boss is pretty easy, so is killing the normal boss... but beware, the Prince Boss Battle is tough. The Prince himself is easy, when alone, but his guards are hard. I saw several of my poor guys die the first time I met and killed the Prince. Seriously, you should absolutely fight the Prince, just be ready for a much harder battle then normal... and you might want to thank your guys in advance as some... maybe even most... won't be alive after a few rounds... And... if needed... there sort-of is an undo button. When in a battle, if you made a mistake, you can use Steam to force Stop the game. This allows you to re-enter the game and restart the battle, although depending on where you are in progression in the game will depend on whether the enemies will be different or not... your card draws will always be identical though... so be aware, this "easy mode" is available if needed.

Low-key one of the best games in the roguelike deckbuilder genre. The art direction & illustrations - Redwall meets Game Of Thrones by way of Watership Down - are just *chef's kiss*. It's also a great example of combining a very specific atmosphere & tone - gritty, minimalist, fatalistic - with matching mechanics. Each run you really do feel like you're a small band of comrades who have lost everything and have one last night for a (likely doomed) quest for revenge. I think one of the reasons this game never quite caught on is precisely because it's got an understated slow-burn vibe. Unfortunately it does take some run attempts to unlock the mechanics/cards that really open up character combos and gameplay. I wonder how many new players bounced early, who might have stuck with it had the devs made more cards/skills/characters available at the start. Would love to see a sequel, or even a different genre game set in this world!

I really wanted to like Banners of Ruin. It has a great visual style and is a deckbuilding, turn-based roguelike, exactly my cup of tea, but it ultimately turned out to be a letdown. The biggest problem is the inconsistent balance. Some encounters are easy, while others suddenly become overwhelming, with enemies and bosses that can feel nearly impossible to defeat with the tools available. Unlike Slay the Spire or Darkest Dungeon, where difficult encounters generally feel more manageable and understandable, Banners of Ruin can make some fights feel disproportionately difficult. The deckbuilding and progression also lack depth. Leveling characters and upgrading cards often provide little meaningful improvement, while unlocking new content can take a long time without significantly expanding your options. The UI makes combat more frustrating than it needs to be, with unclear damage calculations, confusing targeting, unexplained status effects, tiny icons, and limited information about enemy actions. Overall, Banners of Ruin has great art and plenty of potential, but its inconsistent difficulty, shallow progression, frustrating UI, and lack of polish make it more tedious than it should be.
