SkyShard: City Battler

I dont normally play games like this often but after putting 8 hours into the demo i figured maybe this would be a game for me and it is gameplay wise but after hour 10 or so i started getting put up against cities that felt like they had choices wildly superior to mine. The last 3 hours out of my 13 hours of playtime have been over 90 percent losses and and just horrendous luck on a lot of choices in game. When i played the demo i didnt have access to every building available so most builds i could make were much easier to get just because of my available choices. In the full game you get a wider variety of choices which means a greater chance of getting screwed over by RNG however before the latest patch i kept seeing the same two to three builds over and over and over and if you dont get a handful of combos possible youre just gonna lose before or around turn ten. Ive been getting more and more frustrated at the game and even after taking a break from it for a few days and coming back after the latest patch ive been having almost the exact same experience. With all that said i still cant put it at a not recommend. The problems im having could be mostly because of skill issue so im going to dive deeper into the game and see if something clicks that im missing. Im glad we have the option of getting play stellar games by indie devs and i dont want to push anyone away from this game with a negative review when i do think it can be a great game and problems i have with it could be just personal preference but i have to air out problems ive been having with this game that might push some people away. Also the game was 15 bucks and i spent 13 hours in it not including my playtime with the demo which initially got me to buy the game. I would say i got my moneys worth even if the last 3 hours i was having a miserable time playing. I plan on playing a bit more to see if maybe my rng changes or i just somehow understand the game more or something that would make experiences in the last three hours less of an issue.

Very interesting game, think backpack battles but with City building. An asyncronous auto-battler where you set up units, synergies and combos in a spatial manner to try and outplay other opponents.

Extremely fun gameplay loop, a lot of charm and love is going into this and it shows. Easily as fun as Backpack Backpack battles. Cant wait to see where it goes.
