Turnbound

The game is fine. A little light on the item variety and there are clear "best in slot" choices for each character, but overall decent. The reason I don't recommend it is because Backpack Battles is just so much better in every way. Better build variety. More character options. More updates. More cosmetic choices. More interesting item combinations. Better matchmaking (it didn't take long in Turnbound before I was being matched against the same builds from the same players multiple times in a run). Fewer RNG elements. Runs don't feel like they are won or lost in the first few rounds (i.e. better balancing). Yeah, Backpack Battles has its own issues, but it is way more fun, and Turnbound just doesn't so enough to set it apart in what is quickly becoming a very saturated genre.

It´s a hard one. The game itself is like Backpackbattles and the Artstyle is quite nice. It´s engaging and can bring a lot of fun. The pacing is nice and there are enough Combos to entertain you for a while. But after you understand the system it´s quite hard to stay calm. While i, for example, like to play Robin Hood and know there are some item´s that grant you attack and health, 99% of the time you don´t get them early. So when you start a battle after Day 3, the enemies weapons often have like 11 Attack and 28 Health (11/28) While you have a Bow with 4 attack and 6 life (4/6), which, when you do it clever, can go up to like (8/12), which is still no match for the enemy weapons which have those Items BASELINE. The random attack also doesn´t help. Sometimes your Taunt items actually taunt and make the enemy attack it until it´s dead consecutively, but sometimes, without any effect procced, they suddenly ignore this item and attack your Hero for example, which is very strange. There doesn´t seem to be a system behind it. Thorns are also extremely op. Often you have glasscannon weapons which you can´t change so quickly and you loose your entire Arsenal of weapons while not even having a single item of the enemy down, which is nowhere close to being balanced. The game has a LOT of potential, but needs a lot of polishing done.

I dont like the game too much tbh, but I for sure dont hate it, and I wouldnt give it a mid, its still good, kinda, it looks good, and they idea is also not bad, but its way too punishing at some points, I mean, if you need a charge or ammo you done on round 1 already, someone plays life and will win, there is straight for me a loss 7 out of 10... I did reroll and I did use others stuff, it sometimes helped, but mostly Im just screwed the first round, this shouldn't count as loss, if you have bad rng you done. There is not something to come back with when you not hitting the right stuff. So i watched myself restart a run, not for fun, but mostly out of frustration and hoping for a good start, and hopefully you get stuff that fit, if not, the run snowballs pretty fast into a nothing burger. Than again in rare cases I got normal stuff and had a good run of 5-7 wins, but thats like 3 out f 10 of the runs, the rest is drama really. The worst stuff that totaly doesnt combines with what you building, rerolling into something even worse, than I dont have silver to buy when something finally is in shop, its so punishing all. This all sounds negative, and it is kinda, still I recommend the game, it a well worked on game, got to say that, the game and devs are there, amazing art, but the gameplay is not very inviting to play for longer time, it really starts to annoy after a while of searching a nice run, I wish there were like pve matches in between to get stuff, like weapons or other armor if I need that, it doesnt need to be a specific thing, but like ranged weapons, or melee... or armor choice, maybe charge stuff. Now its so all over the place mostly, it takes away from the fun I have mostly in these kind of games

Rng is a bit overly heavy, character designs are fun but the gimmicks on 2/4 of the characters are overly niche and entire mechanics are unusable due to being too niche(mimic is the big poster child here), and hero tiles can get randomly sniped out early on if you don't get lucky and have taunt

The combat targeting being pure RNG is a crazy design flaw. Not fun at all.

This is an incredibly polished autobattler/inventory organization game. The art style is fantastic, and the game feels fundamentally fair in a way that makes it extremely engaging.

What a gem of a game. Not my usual game style, But this is fun and addicting and I love the art style. I think the gameplay might get repetitive over time. There's 4 unique playable hero boards, all with different tiles and abilities, But once you've made your way through it does get a little repetitive.
