I recommend this game only if it has a really good discount. Otherwise, it's still an interesting experience, but a bit overpriced in my opinion.
I think this game would benefit a lot from having a demo. Many players who love card Battler games would experience the core system mechanics and have enough to then commit to playing this one. This game became engaging once it "clicks".
On my first run with the cat girl, I inspected the menu, the items, and, like you expect, I didn't understand anything. Quite normal, I think, I hopped in the adventure, and I mostly focused on understanding what was happening, what was important to focus on, what to avoid, what to level up, what was working, and what wasn't. I was learning how to survive and manage my resources.
On my second run with my beloved overpowered Elf, she is not broken she has big potential, and I love her. I accidentally discovered a small exploit that helped me to understand some synergy and combination with the items. There are some surprisingly abusable strategies, some could be a means to the end. The game's difficulty can feel brutal, as some other review mentioned, Oh, I have the piercing damage, if you don't know how to make the right builds or combinations. These enemies are not jokes, but I was slaying cards like my elf was too powerful with that exploit, sustain, resist advance. I almost finished the game on my second run, but I miscalculated; I did the math wrong and got destroyed. I HAD A POTION, AAAAHHH.
By the third run, the difficulty curve collapsed, and the game became easy, maybe too easy. I knew how to make the right build, I understood the potential. Oh my Elf, elves could be so scary, you know, my girl Frieren. I was overpowered even using a different build. I discovered another exploit or strategy. Unfortunately, this also reduced the replay tension. I finished the game, I was good, so I wanted to do the hard mode.
Fourth run, even with the difficulty modifiers and the elite enemies, it felt repetitive, it felt more like a chore than a game. Finished it and even one hit some enemies.
I loved the designs of the main characters. The enemies, however, could use a bit more personality and uniqueness; they have the style, just cook a bit more. Shark Gang and the Dragons were definitely a highlight for me! Loved them!
Overall, this game has something to offer strong ideas, a very good and initially satisfying experiment. It requires balance tuning, replay variety, and polish, polish, polish. I think the soul of the game is somewhat solid. I think this is a good base for the developer and the team lunch a big update or be the base for an even better game. Making games is hard, even so, this is a game you can enjoy.

Se supone que esta review iba a ser un par de líneas. En fin, un juego interesante de adquirir solo si tiene un buen descuento, además de que te guste este género. Conseguir ítems y levearlos para mejorar a tu personaje, combatir con enemigos y avanzar hacia la victoria.
Buen juego, pero requiere cierta revisión y pulirlo para ser una gran experiencia.
Gloria a mi elfita que me ayudó a pasar el juego.
