Ragtag Heroes : CO-OP Deckbuilder

Great game if you enjoyed Slay the Spire. Its even more fun if you have someone to play it with. Bosses can be tough, though so you need the right strategy to defeat them. A steal for 12€.

Great game! just finished playing a session for the first time with a friend after we stumbled upon it ON RELEASE DAY, wild... Game is pretty fun in the sense that it is very similar to slay the spire. It did come out today so I will say there is definetly some fine tuning needed. BUT we had a great time and the concept is fantastic. My recommendations is to allow a little more agency for each player in multiplayer. Being stuck in the back seat as the not host can be kind of annoying. Also having a mandatory of 3 characters when there are 2 players also gets kinda boring. I have to wait for my friend to do 2 turns in a row while i just sit there and watch. Maybe allow players to "struggle" with just 2 characters instead of 3? And then balance as needed for that difficulty style. Anyways overall I give it a 8.5/10 Hoping to see this game grow and improve over time and hope it gets the love it deserves.

So far, I like the game, but I would reconsider having one team member sacrifice a card upgrade to guard the group at the bonfire. The player who takes on the guard role should receive some other kind of benefit, at least.

Solid base for a deckbuilder and plenty of replayability in runs right now for the current price point. Has a couple of unique mechanics in it which is nice as well such as being able to forfeit your current turn to cleanse debuffs or get extra energy for the current turn but be stunned for your next turn. Shield also doesn't go away after the turn by default.

A great deck builder, fine for solo play but also great having 3p Online Co-Op. This game is not too complex in mechanics, but has a good amount of cards with each character clearly having multiple archetypes and builds to consider. These cards vary from familiar mechanics from other games, while also having new spins on things to go with the unique mechanics such as the 3-lane system. Each hero has their own lane, and many cards interact with targeting enemies in their lane or another hero's lane. You can also switch places of the heroes with cards or move the monsters around... Both of which having cards, relics and builds to support them. The Brave/Default options let you skip your current or next turn for an immediate effect. Both are interesting to manage and I like that it always gives you that option to have a big turn when you need it. Fun game overall, and is getting better with each update with active development.

Good mix of card batter with co-op. Plays a lot like Hellcard and For the King forgotten cellar runs. No issues with the game so far and I think it's worth trying in the current state.

1/10 - Lazy slapped-on toxicity-enabling multiplayer - 💩 MULTIPLAYER REWARDS DISABLED. We beat the game (all acts) multiple times and still didn't unlock hero #4 to play with (unlock requirements: beat act 3). - 💩 NO AYNCHRONOUS TURNS means [u]66% of the time you're watching other people play[/u]. - 💩 SOMEONE GETS SHAFTED EVERY GAME. 3 heroes to choose for 3 players, no repeats, means someone gets stuck with a hero they didn't get to choose. - 🤖 Story text has emdashes (written by AI) and feels exceedingly pointless. - 🤡 Developer specifically added shared rewards because they had the insane thought that convincing your friends you deserve to buy anything at all with the group gold is a fun part of co-op. As if that's not going to cause fights or introverts to get bullied out of loot... Imagine playing with a random who spends all the team gold! - 💩 No endless / new game +, which means every so many battles your build gets thrown in the toilet and the developer gives you the middle finger because why would you want agency over when you end your run? This is one of those games where they don't bother too much with balance because they sneak into your house and slit your run's throat every 30 minutes so who cares if you get unbalanced it'll be over soon. Interesting choices: - Block always carries over between turns. - Many cards are fight-lasting buffs that exhaust for the fight. - x2 AP to skip your next turn, which my friends tell me is ripped of from another game. - 💩 Random encounter for not setting a guard (screwing one player out of an ugprade) is harder than the boss.
