Deliverance & Reign

This is actually two separate games: Deliverance, and Reign. Which have nothing to do with eachother, and don't cross-over. That's not a positive or a negative thing, just something to note. Now, my review. You know the old meme of a little boy asking his mom for something, and the mom says "No, we have that at home" but what they have at home is like a cheap off-brand knock-off? Well Deliverance is Slay the Spire at home and Reign is Monster Train at home. They are definitely inferior knock-offs. Are they bad? No, they're still fun. But this game is essentially a bargain bin off-brand knock-off of these two much better games. I still recommend the game because I got it cheap, and it's fine for the price point.

You're getting vault of the void and monster train for the price of half a game

Didn't really leave early access

买一个游戏相当于得到了两个游戏，一个爬塔一个怪物火车，但是都很一般，平衡做得不太好，勉强好评吧。

If I hadn't already played both of the games this directly clones, it'd be decent. But, I'd recommend just playing Monster Train (the reign side) instead. The other side is a clone of fate hunters but not sure I'd really recommend playing that game, let alone the much weaker version found here. It's briefly fun but gets tedious quickly and basically the only build that matters is "take any card that draws cards"

Deliverance & Reign, developed and published by One Up Plus, is an interesting addition to the growing catalog of roguelike deckbuilders because it refuses to settle on a single perspective. Instead of simply casting players as the hero on a quest to defeat evil, the game presents two interconnected campaigns that explore both sides of a conflict. One path puts players in the role of adventurers fighting their way through the cursed halls of Alaric's Castle, while the other allows them to embody the infamous ruler himself as he repels invaders. This concept immediately gives the title a stronger identity than many indie card games that rely solely on familiar mechanics without adding a unique twist. The Deliverance campaign feels closest to what genre fans would expect. Players advance through branching routes, gather cards, obtain relics, and gradually shape their builds around powerful combinations. The game offers a satisfying sense of progression as every run becomes an opportunity to discover new strategies. Enemy encounters range from common monsters to more dangerous elites, encouraging players to carefully consider risk versus reward. The dark fantasy setting helps reinforce the experience, with its collection of undead creatures, monstrous foes, and ominous castle environments creating a world that feels inspired by classic gothic fiction. Although the game borrows ideas from established roguelikes, it executes them competently enough to remain engaging throughout multiple playthroughs. Where Deliverance & Reign truly separates itself is in its second mode. Reign transforms the experience by placing players in the position of the antagonist. Rather than advancing through hostile territory, players defend their stronghold against waves of incoming heroes using a different set of tactical considerations. The shift in perspective changes the pacing considerably and introduces mechanics that prevent the two campaigns from feeling like simple reskins of one another. It is an ambitious decision that pays off, adding substantial replay value and giving players the opportunity to experience both sides of the narrative conflict. The card system offers a healthy amount of depth across both campaigns. Building synergistic decks becomes increasingly rewarding as players unlock additional options and learn how certain abilities complement one another. Some combinations can completely alter the flow of combat, rewarding experimentation and encouraging repeat runs. The inclusion of the Hell Layers difficulty modifiers is another welcome feature, providing experienced players with escalating challenges after completing the base game. This extra layer of progression ensures that the experience remains relevant long after the initial credits roll and gives dedicated players plenty of reasons to return. Visually, the game adopts a hand-drawn art style that suits its grim atmosphere. Character illustrations are expressive, and enemy designs are varied enough to remain memorable over time. The soundtrack effectively supports the mood without becoming overly intrusive, while sound effects provide enough feedback during combat to keep encounters feeling responsive. However, the presentation occasionally reveals the limitations of its independent development. Some animations lack impact, and certain environments can appear repetitive during extended sessions. These are relatively minor issues, but they are noticeable when compared to the genre's most polished offerings. Despite its shortcomings, Deliverance & Reign succeeds because of its willingness to take risks. The idea of offering two distinct campaigns in one package could have easily resulted in a pair of shallow experiences, yet One Up Plus manages to provide enough substance in both modes to justify the concept. It is a game that respects its audience, offering accessibility for newcomers while still providing enough strategic complexity for veteran deckbuilder fans. While it may not redefine the roguelike genre, it demonstrates a clear understanding of what makes these games enjoyable and presents those strengths through a compelling dual-perspective framework. Deliverance & Reign is a strong effort from One Up Plus and stands as an easy recommendation for players who enjoy card-based strategy games with a dark fantasy aesthetic. Its combination of replayability, varied gameplay modes, and thoughtful deckbuilding systems makes it a worthwhile addition to any roguelike library. Rating: 8/10

Awesome game. Couldn't stop playing it lol. 1 game with 2 game modes inside, brilliant!

Фактически, Вы покупаете сразу 2 игры. И если первая весьма банальна и не даёт ничего нового, то вторая, которая Reign - гораздо интереснее, потому что это клон легендарного Monster Train. Конечно, клон сильно упрощённый по многим параметрам, но играть всё равно интересно. За 3$ на распродаже можно взять, если устали от Monster Train, прошли его и хотите похожего опыта. Если же нет - в любое время дня и ночи выбирайте Monster Train.
