Nowhere Prophet

Battles take...forever. So long. I found them to be tedious and uninteresting. I've never made it past the first run. The boss spawns so many enemies, and has armor, that it makes things last for so long that I lose interest. It's painfully slow. Absurdly so.

Fresh and difficult roguelike in an immersive postapoc world. Great events with evocative descriptions.

It's ok to play. Mechanics of not rotating your deck but instead taking damage is not really expected or well documented. Minor problems with usage of equipments as described on them, but at least they can be used once per batlle usually.

炉石最好玩的还是慢速控制卡组，各种离奇combo的搭配天花乱坠。这个游戏的机制只适合快攻，战损机制下你不得不慎重考虑每个怪的使用，慢一回合就可能掉大血。加上一些离谱的数值设计，简直处处掣肘，高难度下毫无快感可言，真是去其精华了。boss战对面全是硬身板橙卡，你就像一个穷酸白嫖快攻屌丝（倒不是看不起快攻），问题是我还真付钱了啊？

Review: Good for an unpolished, borderline incomplete game. It feels like there are fairly basic revisions that would have made the game significantly better. Positives: core gameplay is enjoyable, the combat is generally fun and adding units to your deck is rewarding Cons: runs aren't varied enough, meta-progression is un-fun an makes it feel like you have to grind for unlocks, the combat scenarios become repetitive, too much text, menus lack speed and are "dirty" at times, pacing / runs take too long

Let me start with the conclusion: this game brings an extremely unbearable sense of frustration. As a deck-building game, it does not allow you to choose specific units. You can only buy them in the shop, and the options are very limited. The number of rare or powerful units available to the player is small, and units die permanently, which leaves very little room for mistakes. It’s basically impossible to build a consistent strategy or archetype. Meanwhile, the opponent—or rather the AI—can easily tailor its deck to counter you, using all kinds of annoying tactics. The most important point is that the game has no rewind or rollback feature. This means you only get one chance; if you fail, you have to start over completely. Even quit in the middle of a battle and reload the game is not work. With all these layers of malice stacked together, it feels as if the developers have a personal grudge against the players. Even Silksong and Elden Ring never made me lose my temper ，but this one succeeded. To hell with you, developers.

Having sunk a lot of hours into other deckbuilding roguelikes, hearthstone and MTG, this game is good but has one or two big issues I can't get over. Basically, enemy cards in hand is hidden information. In games with hidden information like Hearthstone and MTG, you still usually can intuit what deck they are playing and play around what you think they might be doing. You just can't in this. Yeah sure, there are factions that you fight with slightly different playstyles, but they also play each others cards often enough that you can't really get a read on them. It's enough of a variance that it has made me view most fights as generic, as they just kinda throw whatever random stuff at you. My one win (being my 2nd or 3rd attempt) was basically stockpiling every Rare unit and then giving my leader a bunch of removal options to kill enemy units. You are best off building generically good slop without falling into a specific playstyle. This is because your units will get permanently removed from your deck if they die twice. So go for big stated units, and removal/kill spells. ANYWAYS Good until you get in deep with the gameplay. Feels like rng is why you lost and not your own skill.
