Really enjoying this so far! The character mechanics are surprisingly unique, and I really like how the companions add another layer to the gameplay without making things overly complicated. The yokai theme and art are a nice bonus too!

Great card game with an original design. There are still quite a few bugs but nothing game-breaking. I hope they add some content and card balance.

Only one of the chararacter are playable and while the other two are too complex or unbalance to be played.
Borrows heavily from Slay the Spire, but introduces several novel character concepts, like two-character team, two energy currencies, and companion (item) builds. There's also fantastic representation of Japanese myths and legends.
i like the twist in the sts formula, but the ux/animation is very clunky compared to sts
Bardzo fajne 😊. Tylko język polski by się przydał ❤️
I recommend this if you like roguelike deckbuilders and want to try something with a twist. The main thing I like is the different mechanics of each of the heroes. The map for proceeding through encounters is also unique and adds a bit of strategy. The enemies and their art are very thematic. If you are interested in Japanese myths you can look up the names of virtually all the enemies. The battles are challenging but balanced if you know how to build a synergistic deck.
Talespinner has been a very enjoyable deckbuilder that comes with some great art design and music. The three characters are very unique and a lot of fun to play, each with their own core abilities, cards and several build archetypes. My favorite of the characters by far is the kitsune; her lotus flower mechanic is extremely powerful and very satisfying to manipulate and break open. Plenty of challenging content and varying enemy encounters really scratched the deckbuilder itch for "one more run", and there were enough new mechanics to puzzle through that it was a treat to figure things out! While some fights or mechanics may need slight tweaks for balance or fun, I am more than satisfied with the challenge at max difficulty, and consistent wins are very possible with the right deckbuilding and plays.
