Tears of the Maker

This is a very fun game that keeps each run fresh and interesting with the randomness of cards and opponents. I enjoy both game modes (tower and story) and find it engaging to unlock new attire and companions while customizing and building a strong deck of cards. The unique graphics and custom music enhance my gameplay experience and I thoroughly enjoy each run I attempt as the levels, opponents, and my cards randomly progress. I haven’t made it to the end yet but I’m excited to continue playing and see how far I can go!

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.
