Stash: A Card Looter

Could be kinda funny, but matchmaking is annoying

I am afraid the game is not balanced: You just lose life points in very hard matches and you couldn't know or do anything then. Quest are imposible (you won't buy a few useless hero just to fulfill them). Also, some dynamics are not explained and you won't know. Things not working: you can spend resources to start with two heroes, but after... you won't start with them, so why the selection? I'll check again with updates

an attempt was made. it unfortuntly doesn't reach its potential.

too much rng based, not enough about setting yourself up for success

no

Amazing game very deep gameplay. Balances randomness along with the ability to try and influence directions. Infinite replay ability.

Stash: A Card Looter is a great card game with a fresh idea. The gameplay is easy to understand but still keeps you thinking. I liked how each run feels different and never gets boring. It’s a fun and relaxing game to play for short sessions.

OVERALL 8/10 Absolute gem of a game, with potential to become a genre goat. [hr][/hr] [b]WHAT TO EXPECT[/b] [hr][/hr] Core gameplay loop is rock solid. It moves at roughly the same pace as The Bazaar, but I found it way more addictive because it wastes absolutely no time on any kind of fluff: zero dialog, 2-second loading screens, and not even any story to speak of. The game just gets out of your way to focus on what matters most: 1. The thrill of theory-crafting your build 2. Trying to put it all together in practice 3. Seeing how far your idea can take you To that end, you are rapidly cycling back and forth between deck-building and battle. If your current run ends, you hardly care because the next one begins immediately on the very next screen, smoothly locking you into one of the most addictive dopamine loops in memory. (It's genuinely hard to close the game.) There is seemingly endless build variety, as every hero and weapon is useful and interesting enough on its own to ostensibly be built around as a core strategy, and everything synergises with *almost* everything else. This is GREAT game design. I do hope the devs continue adding new creatures, factions, weapons and mechanics over time. [hr][/hr] [b]FINAL THOUGHTS[/b] [hr][/hr] The game deserves to be successful. It will have a future IF the devs can iron out the technical issues and spend some money on marketing and expanding the player base. I am way too frequently being matched up against snapshots of my own previous decks, and outside of that, I keep being matched up with what seems like the same 5 - 10 players. [hr][/hr] [b]TECHNICAL ISSUES[/b] [hr][/hr] - Semi-frequent crashes (once every couple of hours), but luckily the game auto-saves frequently, allowing you to quickly return to where you left off. - Semi-frequent issue where, going into a battle, one or more of your cards randomly disappear and are replaced with a blacked out "illegal dupe" card, often causing you to lose that fight and potentially messing up your run. - UI responsiveness needs to be checked at different screen resolutions. In the loading screen, the loading bar overlaps the skill icons. - When dragging-and-dropping a card onto another, they normally swap positions, but sometimes one stacks on top of the other instead.
