Cards with Personalities

Very fun afternoon game. To be clear, this is not a roguelite like Spire (not that the store page would lead you to believe that but I think some people see deckbuilder and just assume), instead you select a boss fight and develop your deck from a weak starter deck over the course of the fight. Feels very boardgame-esque (I didn't play much Legendary but from what little I did play it reminds me of that) in that you're moreso focused on building a decent deck that can beat the boss QUICKLY rather than a perfect deck slowly. Throws a couple of surprises at you but nothing too too crazy. Only qualm is that once I learned all the systems, it felt like the endgame fights were a little too easy, especially if you're able to get going in the first couple of turns. All in all had a great time with it though

A fun, single player version of a drafting game like star realms. I recommend it if you like the genre, but it lacks personality (oh the irony!) and feels a bit generic. Certainly enjoyable though.

it's a fun game!

I've always been a sucker for PICO-8 games, and coincidentally, the original version of this was always one of my favorites! This version is better in some ways, but also is slightly worse in other ways. That being said, it sums up to being a great experience all around, and I really enjoyed my time with it. The positives: - The game has a very simple yet addicting gameplay loop, almost like Balatro mixed with a tabletop game. I was so enamored with the gameplay that I ended up accidentally marathoning the entire game in one sitting, including both sets of bosses and [spoiler]the secret superboss[/spoiler]. It really is a lot of fun. - Good difficulty curve ranging from easy to manageable to downright unfair (in a good way) - Very cute card art and UI The negatives: - The music in the original is a lot better, and it's replaced in this version by what I can only assume is stock music (possibly by Kevin McLeod?). It's not that much of a downgrade, but it is still a downgrade, so it's worth mentioning. - The rules are a bit obtuse at times, especially when it comes to the Mouth and how it operates, but it's still pretty easy to understand once you've played enough rounds. The neutral points: - The sprites are all upscaled from the PICO-8 version, and it's quite interesting to compare the two. - The second track of fights introduces new mechanics, which definitely help to shake things up during the harder refights. All in all, it's a great game! If nothing else, I'd at least recommend playing the original game, which you can find [url=https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=36862]here.[/url] Excited to see this developer's next project! :D

Good short deckbuilder.

Played the pico 8 version. Really fun game!
