Хардкорный карточный рогалик, в котором ваш воин сражается со всякой нечистью. По стилистике и механикам игра похожа на смесь Darkest Dungeon и Slay The Spire, а главное отличие заключается в том, что враги нападают с разных сторон. Для каждого забега вы выбираете оружие в правую руку, щит в левую и доспехи, и данный выбор влияет на стартовую колоду. Каждый поход состоит из 10 боёв. В перерывах между боями можно выбрать один из двух "путей", на котором вы получаете, дублируете или удаляете карты, после чего включается случайное событие. При этом у игрока есть определённое количество факелов, которые можно потратить на то, чтобы это событие предсказать, а также чтобы один раз изменить выбор между боями либо выбрать карту во время боя. Роль артефактов здесь выполняют "дары" - boons, которые обычно мы собираем из двух частей - boon tokens. Таким образом, между боями игрок пытается подлечиться и получить полезные дары и карты, а во время боя сохранить как можно больше здоровья, чтобы дотянуть до финальной битвы. После каждого успешного похода сложность игры немного увеличивается, а после трёх походов открывается бой с боссом. Боссы интересные, но с ростом сложности игры и так хардкорная игра становится настоящими шахматами, и на этом этапе проявляется главный недостаток игры: вы легко можете завалить поход, если в начале игры вам достанутся плохие карты (ну, как плохие - скорее, не подходящие под вашу тактику и выбранное обмундирование). Например, вы планируете играть от защиты и блоков щитами, а вам выпадают карты со стойкой берсерка (убирающие ваш блок) или карты на криты. Но это, пожалуй, пока единственный недостаток - в боевой части игры много разных механик, и можно собрать имбовые билды. С каждым походом возрастает умение использования выбранного вами оружия и защиты, благодаря чему открываются новые карты и дары. Для открытия самого интересного приходится гриндить, но, в принципе, это не доставляет проблем, так как с новыми картами приходят новые убойные комбинации, находить которые - большое удовольствие. Отдельно также хочется отметить шикарный саундтрек. В целом игрушка отличная, и я надеюсь, что авторы будут добавлять больше контента. На момент написания отзыва в игре две локации - разрушенная деревня и лес - и шесть боссов, и хочется, конечно больше!
Really fun card game! i keep playing it over and over. Worth getting!
I'm usually too lazy to leave reviews, however feel this game warrants more attention than it's currently getting. Solid game, battles play much like Slay the Spire whereas the game play loop is currently a bit more like Darkest Dungeon - Repeat short runs to eventually unlock bosses for each area. The meta-progression is just unlocking items although this looks like it could end up being quite time-consuming/tedious. I'd like to see a game play mode for a longer, all-area run however I do quite like the short single area runs, so I'm hoping on full release that both types of run are an option. There's no road map although the developers have listed what they're looking at to further flesh out the game. It's in need of some quality of life polish however on the whole this is a cracking game and fans of the genre should check it out.
Among card games, this is the one I’ve enjoyed the most. I would recommend it to everyone!!
Card games are not usually my jam, but I like this one. I waited to see if the devs follow up with their proposed "Mines" update, just to make sure it's not abandoned, and am happy to see they did release it as promised. Daily updates and fixes are coming, the game is very actively in development. Devs are also pretty responsive if you've got any feedbacks.
Addictive. Great art style. One of the best deckbuilders I've ever played and I've played quite a few. Very inexpensive for the amount of content you get. Highly recommend supporting these devs.
The gameplay feels good and the sounds and animations are nice. Loads a little slow on a HDD.
A fun game in the Slay the Spire genre with the big unique twist being that of dealing with attackers on both sides of you. While you can add armor on either side, you can only block (a percentage chance you have of stopping all damage from an attack) the side you are currently facing. Another tweak in this game is how at the end of each round you'll have 2 different reward packages to choose from. One might give you a few cards and heal you while the other might let you remove some cards and give you this game's equivalent of an artifact (an item that grants you passive bonuses in future encounters).
Teljesen beszippantott a játék, szuper zenék, karakteres grafika, izgalmas játékmenet. Minden run más, rengeteg féle kombó lehetőség és stratégia, csak ajánlani tudom!
great game.
