The good: It's a fun little tinker/management game. The music is pleasant, and the general game has a very good vibe and is over all fun. The story, which I first thought was a simple framing device actually drew me in. The length of a single scenario is no longer than its easy to commit to, but still so long that you don't feel it gets yanked away from you prematurely. After understanding the mechanics I grew to really like the dungeon crawl element. The nature of the game makes for high replay value. Could use improvement/Im on the fence: The randomness of card drawing can be really fickle and hamper one for a long time. Not all mechanics are well explained, and im sure i will fare much better on a second playthough, now that i have a better understanding of what is going on. I could use a bit more control in the dungeon crawls. There are no possibilies of changing tactics or mid combat healing, so sometimes you can see stuff start going wrong, and you can do nothing except pressing fast forward and watch your whole team perish. Still, its definetly worth checking out if you like a lite building/management game with some rpg elements. I really like it

Хороший рогалико-тайкун с карточными колодами. Оптимизация хромает, но графон вообще тут не нужен, можно ронять в пол.

It's a really fun little simulator. I liked the independence of the style - it's not HP the school-mgmt sim. The UI has some slight odd bits, but generally works quite well. The most annoying part, I would say, is the auto-saving. When you place a building, if there's no Teacher to recruit, it automatically places and saves. There is no "undo". If there IS a teacher to recruit, you automatically get stuck in the recruitment screen, with whatever two choices you randomly drew. Requests/Suggestions: 0) DLC 1) Please allow disabling auto-save 2) Please make recruiting the teacher a second step 3) Policies for teachers (like there are for the students) would be nice 4) The teach attributes are clearly just a handful of prebuilt cards. It would be interesting if the teacher traits were actually random 5) It would be cool if the factions on the map were either: random, selectable, or if they had to be staffed from your teacher pool 6) Being able to design logos, names, and schools, ahead of time, and select those when starting, would be cool 7) I realize that it reduces the randomness, but it would be convenient to select goals before starting There seem to be a few "bugs", as well: 0) Teachers don't seem to ever die in combat, even at 0 health 1) The 'escape' key never closes any dialogues 2) The UI makes it extremely unclear what the placement requirements of cards are 3) When drawing a card, there is no way to see what slots you have available 4) There is no way to see what slots placed buildings have 5) Many of the status popups on students and teachers are baffling, and there doesn't seem to be any way to check what the status is. Why do the students sometimes have a "book" thought-bubble above them? What does that mean?

Fun for the first few hours. Gets repetitive in the unfun way. Just feels a bit meh after 4ish hours. also the intro has a french accent I'll change my review when the real roguelike elements shine through.

oui

If you enjoy somewhat silly or tongue-in-cheek simulation games, the "fresh slate" feeling of starting over in a new level or area while gaining some overall progression, and fantasy and magic, I'd say there's a good chance you'll enjoy this game. If you're looking for something serious, complex, or story-driven, this isn't what you're looking for. Having just won the campaign, it's not likely I'll come back to it any time soon, but I enjoyed my time with it and I could see myself picking it up again in a year (or even a few months, on a higher difficulty) and starting over. It has just enough variety and depth to keep each level interesting and fun.

白玩不厌，喜欢这种肉鸽，看小人跑来跑去，非常推荐！
