Very in-your-face satirical deck builder around Internet culture and AI. Deckbuilding itself consists of combining three different packs of 4 cards, these packs being pre-built, but allowed to be shuffled in/out in-between each stage. You start with basic ones and unlock a few more through the run (in roguelike mode). The packs also have five different "classes" like red/anger. By discarding a red card you obtain the currency for playing red cards. Most of the time you want to be running with two different colors at most due to this reason, though it depends. Aside from that, you can also opt to add in 0-cost image cards to your deck with different effects. You can have as many of these/little as you want, starting with same three, obtaining more through the run (in roguelike mode). Obtaining unlocks in-between fights is done by doing small internet-y satire mini-games, such as solving a 3x3 image, assembling a quote together from pieces of sentences, answering yes/no to "business questions" etc. + Ascending difficulty system (though more limited than other deck builders) + Different unlockable game modifiers + Roguelike / Constructed modes + Way to skip mini-games (unlockable) + Unlock all / Reset all option * You either find the satire amusing or unbearable - Some jank, like getting a draw bringing out game over screen, but you actually won and can proceed - Early game, which is large chunk of the experience, is samey every time - The mini-game for unlocking a deck passive effect can be quite challenging (it being strictly timed) - No save function (though runs are short enough to not need it) For the price, the game offers a pretty decent experience and I enjoyed messing about with it, though if you're looking for a game packed with content, I must advise seeking it elsewhere. If you're on the fence, try the free demo provided.

A decent deckbuilder with a fun premise.

egirl makes you rich

This is one of the most hilarious, genius and refreshing card battler games I've ever played, why am i one of the only people who know about this yet?!

This is an extremely fun tongue-in-cheek type of roguelike overall. There are two things this game is going for of which it excels at: Theme: Obviously they are going for over the top meme/jokes/reddit type of humor blended into the gameplay and honestly it works out unbelievably well and makes a lot of sense. Roguelike: Also in terms of gameplay elements, the existing roguelike is both extremely fun and unique enough to give it an interesting take. What's currently there is already amazing and any extra add on will be just a huge plus!

Other reviews are pretty descriptive of the gameplay and tone but I will just say it's worth the price. If you have any experience in ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this will be very entertaining. As of this I had just beaten my first run, but I've hardly seen everything at this stage.
