Shuffles 'n Scuffles

Pretty good

Super fun game with some really unique mechanics! Super easy to learn, and the Card Altar room lets you make an infinitely unique combination of cards. This is one of those games that'll devour all your free time for weeks. I'd say more, but I need to door dash some food so I don't have to leave this game to make supper.

My friend Erik threatened me into playing this game and it's very fun.

I've been addicted to this game since the early demos. Had fun on release day. Have now unlocked the larger grids and more characters, each offering their own challenges and optimization strategies. Enjoying the challengers that the unlocked features provide.

A great game that displays some amazing potential for a complicated experience with overlapping mechanics. Firstly, my criticisms: I think it is still rough around the edges, but overall delivers a fun experience. I think it lacks general polish, the mechanics feel a little under baked and simplified, and it is a little too easy to optimize the fun out of the game. I have been able to go through several zones without the threat of taking damage thanks to freeze and poison. Sadly the game becomes a bit of a tedium when you have a winning strategy and cards that no longer require mana. The enemies don't really feel different except for their images and health. There doesn't really seem to be a huge purpose to the 3x3 grid as far as mechanics go. Not many enemies utilize mechanics that require you to move them around the board (especially when killing them is often easier). I think there is something fun here for tepid fans of the genre or as an entry point, but established fans of roguelikes/lites that are looking for a lot of replayability may be disappointed. I would catch it on sale, or if the devs are rolling out future updates, wait until there is more content here. Criticism aside, Shuffles 'n Scuffles introduces some interesting new ideas such as reworking the numbers, verbs, and nouns of your cards to receive different effects. This system is really great in terms of experimentation and generating excitement from reworking existing cards. Additionally, you may temporarily remove a card from your deck to receive a buff to it later. The graphics are pleasing and the color pallet is nice. When you don't have a winning strategy the game feels relatively balanced. Recommended QOL features for the dev: Let me back out of playing a card. Staying committed to a card you accidently played feels cheap. An explanation of what the verbs do (such as split, scatter, burning, freeze, etc) would be great for new players. For the love of God, don't make me delete my entire deck at the carnival wheel. I have been reduced from around 10 cards to 4. I understand the need for risk versus reward, but this ain't it.

Really fun card game with a crazy good sound track. I have been waking up with the game music playing it my head

Great game. Very good. Thank you.

Very good game!!!

Very fun game! Some interesting mechanics to bring life to the rogue-like genre!

With all of the card keywords, classes, and difficulites, there are lots of strategies that can be employed. I used to play optimally with the Mage, but it's also just fun to experiment with the new classes and challenge myself with the criminal. The customizing of cards in the card alter is also very creative and cool. Also, I can pet Mothman, so 10/10 game just from that alone
