Pantheion

Great strategic card game - I love the mixture of mythodologies from different cutltures (greek, japanese, nordics...)!

Pantheion shows real promise as a mythologically themed, strategic, solo roguelike card game with depth, variety, and thoughtful design. It nails the essentials of the genre—deckbuilding, high replayability, tough choices—while adding its own flair through pantheon variety and battlefield-site mechanics. I realy like the idea to use different Pantheons to fight, wished it had multiplayer tho

Вроде и задумка хорошая, и оформление хорошее, но игра интересной не вышла к сожалению

It's definitely an interesting concept. I like the theme and playstyle. I want to be sympathetic to a single dev/publisher, but I've had the game crash without fail every time after 30 minutes of playing.

Easy to learn and to play but there are lots of complex strategies that can be used. I do wish there was more than just Greek, Japanese, and Norse mythology though.

Disclaimer: I have played a lot more hours than shown here (offline), around 3~4 hours, and that was enough to see pretty much all content. On that same note, I really wanted to like this off of the concept alone. I've been waiting for something along the lines of an offline Marvel Snap, and this is the closest thing to that. First off, artwork. This game had a LOT of potential for gorgeous art, instead, the art direction it takes is "pale white person looking at the camera with blank expression", the three pantheons can barely be distinguished from one another, the characters look bland and washed. This game had the perfect opportunity to do something incredible, maybe on the same vein of Hades 1/2 or even Disney's Hercules, and yet, it ended up with cards that look generic and samey. On a second note, content. This does not feel like 1.0 game, it feels like an early access that didn't get tagged as such because they knew it would impact sales. You don't have any unlockables (other than being able to unlock cards to be in your starting deck) and the card variety is honestly kind of sad. You will see everything this game has to offer within the first hour. On the topic of unlocking new cards to be in your deck, this game not having deck slots (as far as I could find at least) is a criminal oversight. Third, mechanical depth. Most cards don't have any meaningful synergies to be found, unless they are the exact ones spelled out for you in a "put this card and this other card side by side" way, which really, really sucks. You want to do a "fire" build? Not in the game, there is one card that scales with that and, as far as I could find, no other small fire cards to go with it. Then there are some big gods that scale off of war and thunder, and one that scales off of love, and... that's about it. I may be missing one or two examples but not much more than that. There's just not enough meat on the bone, and the meat that is here can't really be used in creative or out-of-the-box ways. At the best, the design is "number get big if X". From my experience, this game needed to have at least twice as many cards to be enjoyable and replayable as a roguelike normally should. And I definitely agree with the other review that said the sites are far too restrictive, because they are. A lot of builds are just dead in the water right from the get go if you just so happen to roll the wrong challenges. And then, a more minor observation, is that the writing is borderline cringe, to the point where the game would be better off without any speech bubbles in it. The last boss literally hits you with the "I am inevitable" banter. As others mentioned, this has a lot of mechanical potential (even if just because it's copying Marvel Snap's framework), but it just isn't realized in any of the fronts, from art, to gameplay, to synergies, it's just not here. Anywhere. One good thing about it is the prince point, I guess, the game is really cheap, but making good game design isn't more expensive than making bland and shallow design, so budget and price point were definitely not the bottlenecks for this project. Ultimately, if this was an early access title, I'd cut it some slack, because you could at least look forward to more content being added. As a full release, it is not a good game.

My review was positive when I played the game because I thought it was a work in progress - and a very promising one at that. The way it is now feels like a demo to a great game. Gameplay's super interesting and original, but very narrow with current cardpool, super short, with low replayability and not particularly well balanced. Do not get fooled by my playtime - I played 12 hours trying to unlock more cards in hopes things would get progressively better. Instead, every run felt pretty much the same as the ones before. One could argue it's on par with its pricing, but it is truly a shame to leave this great idea half baked like this. Do not recommend it if this is the final product.

I love this game! I'm a big fan of mythology and having a rogue deck builder of it is awesome. Its a challenging game that has lots of replay ability.

Great game, love the art and style, as well as all the cards, really looking forward to trying out more synergies :)

Ich habe Pantheion jetzt ein wenig angezockt und muss sagen, es ist wirklich ein Spiel, dass einen direkt in den Bann zieht. Es ist ein Deck-Builder, bei dem man sich auf jeden Fall bei einigen Strategischen Entscheidungen Zeit lassen muss, damit man die Level bestreiten kann. Das macht es aber umso besser und man will auch bei einem nicht gelungenen Versuch direkt weitermachen und sich wieder verbessern. Der Artstyle ist toll und die Vereinigung von verschiedenen Kulturen gibt dem Spiel einen besonderen Touch. Vor allem als Geschichts-Nerd ist das definitiv auch nochmal ein Plus-Punkt ;) Es braucht ein paar Spiele, um wirklich hinter das System zu kommen, auch wenn alles wirklich gut erklärt wird. Die Mechanics und Taktiken rauszubekommen, benötigt halt ein bisschen Hirnschmalz ^^ Ich kann das aber definitiv empfehlen und es macht einen tollen Eindruck :D
