Tears of the Maker

I rarely play roguelite deckbuilders, but this completely hooked me. I sat down to try it and the next thing I knew nearly 10 hours had flown by while I was collecting cards, experimenting with what worked, healing myself or doing damage to the enemy, and figuring out the best ways to manipulate the tear flow to beat the story mode. Best 7 dollars I have spent this year.

Got it on sale, and am still getting plenty of time out of it. I think the music is catchy, but might be a little repetitive. I don't focus on it and can understand if people get tired of it. I'll play a few attempts to at a time to avoid get burned out about the game either way. It has more depth than I thought it might with only allowing 3 slots to equip some types of cards, though there are more types available as you get farther. There is an initial difficulty while seeing which cards do what, too. I'm not sure if the difficulty scaling might be too high too fast, but I'm still trying out different strategies either way. The low chance for item removal that enemies sometimes get can wreck runs, though you can sometimes be able to reset it to a random new one. Overall, I'd say 5/10 for a rough on the edges, but still interesting roguelike that isn't super expensive.
