Mech Shuffle

This is a very simple to learn mech based card battle game, but don't let that fool you. This game has a good amount of difficulty to it. However, the difficulty is fair, as you are always able to see what your opponent can do, so you can plan out your strategy accordingly. In addition, there are many different mechs and pilots to combine to make each run feel different.

Full disclosure; I did provide the music for this game. I did not code or make anything else for it, however, and I am not being compensated for sales. So take my opinion how you will. This game is solid fun. The foundation provided here is good and for the price-point? You could do worse. The dev is enthusiastic about making a lot more content for the game and is super on top of updating things. Already there are a number of new mechs on the way. It’s like a puzzle game. Where you see your opponents hand at all times, so you can make educated decisions on how best to approach defeating them. Each mech plays very differently, and every pilot provides their own cards to the deck. So there is a lot of mixing and matching at play, as you search for that overpowered build. The dev has already poured alot of time balancing the cards in question, to the point where playing it PvP doesn’t feel like any one strat is currently overpowered. Listen, it’s $11.50 CA. You probably pay more for lunch on any given day. It’s solid, it’s fun, and there’s promise of more to come!

The battles are quite simple: Each player takes turns playing cards that generate attacks of different colors, shields of color that negate those attacks, or cards that generate heat/cooling or energy. After all cards are played, the generated attacks, shields and other effects simultaneously resolve. It's a very basic system that both makes deckbuilding and combat fairly straightforward in terms of decision making. Deckbuilding especially feels quite limited - not only in card effects that don't give life to cool combos, but also mostly because mechs and pilots already come with premade decks that are changed only slightly within a run. Despite all that, the game is fun. There is some joy in outmaneuvering the (admittedly bad) AI and the simplicity means it's easy to jump into it and just play. Not every game needs to have complex systems to be entertaining, and this is one of those exmples. Longevity of the game might come from ranked play but there hours of content in the solo roguelike mode, especially if gunning towards unlocking more mechs. [h1][b]The positive[/b] [/h1] + Easy to pick up + The heat meter was an interesting mechanic to play around. Generating too much heat would end your turn, so managing the order of cards play becomes important. + No random negative events. + If you die, you can still retry. + A very special shout-out for allowing card plays during enemy card animations. It keeps the game at a fast pace which and saves time. Something I wish more card games would do. [h1][b]The neutral[/b][/h1] * The length of a full run with all unlocked paths feels too long. [h1][b]The negative[/b][/h1] - Fairly limited deckbuilding. Which is a shame because the system of simultaneous card effect activation would be fun to explore more. [h1][b]Conclusion:[/b] [/h1] Simple card game with a roguleike campaign, where actions are resolved simultaneously. Solid gameplay, albeit lacking in depth. Recommended.

[b]Review: Saturday 26, November, 2022[/b] It's a pretty nice game to be honest. I watched some streamers months ago play it and like the gamepley of it, but it didn't look (graphically speaking) very nice to me at that time. Now with the last update, I thought it looked good so I bought it (I had it on my wishlist waiting). Well, I'm happy with the new adquisition. It's not the most complex game, but it's very fun. I hope the developer keeps adding more content to it, I would even bought an expansion DLC if he keep improving it. [b]Score:[/b] 4.5 of 5 stars for me. But it goes to my favorites collection. [b]Conclusion:[/b] If you like mechs and you like tactical games you should try this game. Recommended.

You like tactical Mecha games and roguelike deckbuilding? This game is a treat for those specific needs :-)

With the August update the game is great

This game is really good. Open information changes everything and makes this card game quite unique in the plethora we can find nowadays. Lots of possible combos, card upgrades for PVE (for now, early 2023), Ranked PvP and last but not least pretty well balanced for its age. If you like mechs and especially (I suppose) the fasa battletech world it will add a special flavor. So tired of having the same "STS clone", try this, I guess you will have some fun for the low cost.

Love it! Very fun card game. Took a while to figure out the rules, but very well balanced and you always know why you won or lost. Works well on my steam deck using the mouse control layout

The core gameplay loop will be familiar to anyone who has played FTL. You advance through a series of battles, using randomly generated loot to augment yourself as you progress. Where it differs is in the battle mechanic, which utilizes cards, each one representing qualities or equipment of your mech or pilot. The standard mode is perhaps a little too easy, the "hard mode" however is suitably challenging. Improvements to the AI would be welcome, although it would require some rebalancing, as the hard mode would likely be impossible if the AI did more than seemingly play their cards at random. All in all, a solid game for fans of FTL. While not quite as deep, it kept my attention and it was fun experimenting with the different play styles of the different mechs and pilots.
