Metal Queen Dungeon

First and foremost, I enjoy the music. it would be nice if had a some extra tracks but rock on. There's no way to view all cards, so that's a bummer and each "campaign" mode has been identical. It's obvious that there's ideas laid out, and you could go for certain types of builds... but it does not feel implemented well. Like you could have different lords for different flavors(demon, beast, undead), and if you beat them all unlock a demon king/queen which has extra mana gain or something. xxxxEnemies also lack variety (edit: the variety is in endless mode.) As it is, it's mostly simple and straight forward... but you can't beat the price. Great time killer for in between rounds of another game. Edit: apparently there's no save feature. Every time I open the app I need to reset my screen size and audio, and I lost power in the middle of the endless match and have to start from scratch. Edit#2: I did endless mode up to turn401 and just got bored. 2/3 of your playing field will be creature farmers. The other 1/3 will be lich spawning hordes of skeletons. Because legends cannot have their size increased, they become worthless unless they affect other units. Two buff, two are spell casters that affect your own troops (negatively) and two with AoE (great early game). And one tank that's great until late game, maybe forever if given enough HP buff. Ultimately this game lacks two things. The fact you can't close the game and return to it later is terrible, the developer needs this fixed ASAP. There needs something to make legends worthwhile late. It would also be nice to see a way to increase card draw and mana gain. However even without this, I definitely got my money's worth and well done to the developer. Still love jamming out to the music.

Saw a review and was immediately hooked on the planning aspect. Unfortunately the game uses Vulkan drivers to launch. If your graphics card isn't new enough for that, you're SOL, which is absurd because it's not like this game actually has complex graphics. I mean, I can run ESO, POE and LOL on this thing... but not this pixel-art card battle? There's a little prompt that talks you through how to launch it from Command using OpenGL3 ... but actually, no, since using that command prompt and intelligent variations thereof doesn't actually work either. Come back, dev, and let people who don't have high-end gaming PC graphics cards actually play your 2-D strategy rougelike...

A very fun basis for a game, along the lines of Plants vs. Zombies or maybe Monster Train. I would love to see this game idea explored some more. If there was a $10 DLC that turned this into a proper roguelite with meta progression, boss progression, varied starting load-outs, etc. I would buy it in a heart beat.

nice indie game with a tons of lovely characters. surprising strategic depth and weirdly addictive. music beyond anything. rock on!

Ich finde das ist ein richtig schönes kleines Indiespiel! Der Style ist unique (besonders die Gesichter der eigenen Einheiten), die Musik ballert hart und das Gameplay ist spannend. Die Kartenvielfalt lädt zum Ausprobieren ein. Das Spiel hat ein paar Kanten (Indie halt) und der Umfang könnte größer sein, aber das Potenzial ist auf jeden Fall da und ich fände es cool, wenn da noch was passiert (gutes Beispiel: Nidhogg)! Ich freue mich immer sehr über kleine Indiespiele die etwas versuchen und einen eigenen Style haben!

The music is excellent and far from the best part of the game.

This is a great little Plants vs. Zombies style strategy game. Can't beat the price and there is a ton of room for this game to grow.

I don't usually play deck builder games. As a dnd-player and fantasy fan this game drew me in with it's title (obviously), beautiful artwork, attention to detail in all characters and lore and the simplicity of the mechanics whilst being intricate in itself. Once you've played it, the addiction level is freaking high. I haven't been able to stop, always trying to beat my wave-highscore. You can really feel a lot of love for fantasy, character-creation, metal and art in this. Big recommandation <3

Nice indie-retro-game with nice pixel art and unique design of the game cards. The music is amazing—finest metal that gets more intense with each stronger enemy. As it is, the game is straightforward and fun, perfect for killing time. Would buy again.
