Union of Gnomes

К сожалению, игра очень плохо продумана и сбалансирована. Половина способностей командиров откровенный мусор, дизайн Петра ужасен, поскольку его механика антисинергирует сама с собой и его талантами. Рокко, напротив, абсолютно поломанная имба: на ранней стадии билд через пьянство и тапочек позволяет делать бесконечный ход с прокрутной. Позднее билд со сбросом ракет, прокруткой и соответствующими талантами становится ультимативным: я прошел все последние 5 уровней и 50 этапов избушки с первого раза. Дизайн лучника просто скучен и слаб. При этом враги зачастую имеют цифровую прогрессию: все эти +1 к силе, броне и хилу. Лучник на критах, например, не имеет прогрессии, и безбожно сливает простейшим мобам. И кто вообще придумал талант на 10% отхила при ударе по отравленной цели? Разрабы, у вас базовый урон от большинства абилок равен 4, при прокачке 8, при крите 16. Это отхил на 1 хп! А если удар слабее 10, то хил на аж целый 0! Зачем добавлять перки от балды?

After 10 hours, I felt like it was not very interesting or even much fun. The runs felt the same as there really isn't any need to adjust your deck once you get the hand of things. Well, until you hit a wall with some enemy that negates your deck completely thus wasting the entire run. The cards that are unlocked aren't typically any better than the starting set. The "Bling" accessories are only good for the current mission and are used up afterwards. Bling itself is hard to obtain as well. Meta-progression requires way too much grind for me to waste my time to do so. I feel the developers made the bad decision to stretch out the game play time with a very boring grinding mechanic. The story just wasn't for me. I didn't find any humor in it even though they tried nailing it to me with a big hammer. It was just over the top nonsense. The graphics are mediocre and the music is a very standard type. I came across a few bugs here and there. One time I went into an event mission inside the run and it wiped out all my money and sausages. It made it rather difficult to complete the overall run. Another time, the "shopoholics" didn't give me back the money they took after the battle which left me with no currency. It was then I decided that the game wasn't fun and just a tedious mess. While Union of Gnomes certainly isn't the worse card based battler I have played, there are far better once out there, I'm not going to waste any more time on this one. I'd say you can safely ignore this game and go buy something else.

Самая демократичная игра, которую я видел. По принципу «Друзьям — всё, врагам — закон» нет равных. Враги обмазанные слепотой, дебаффами и т.д. пробивают тебя на раз, а ты в во всех баффах стоишь, такой нарядный и ох...ешь. Михо вообще манной обделили и уроном, персонаж максимально не играбельный . Баланс в доннатных помойках и то лучше. Тактика ноль, рандом бесконечный.

Очень самобытная и насыщенная с художественной точки зрения игра в жанре roguelike. Из плюсов стоит отметить: 1. Великолепный визуальный стиль. Каждый гном нарисован настолько колоритно и выглядит так выразительно, что прямо хочется поверить в его реальное существование! То же самое и с противниками. Иными словами - все персонажи этой игры достойны участия в полнометражном фильме или мультипликационном сериале; 2. Весьма уравновешенный баланс в части раздачи карт, сил и способностей гномов-бойцов и требуемых повторных заходов до победы над очередным боссом. В других отзывах читал, что забеги затянуты, но лично я этих претензий не разделяю. В сравнении со многими другими "рогаликами" баланс почти идеален!; 3. В каждой главе игра заставляет тебя пересматривать состав карточной колоды. Когда-то приходится формировать колоду на сброс, когда-то - на атаку и т.п. Ну и комбинированный состав карт в руке неплохо играет тоже. Из минусов: 1. Очень видно порой, как "босс этажа" специально убивает отряд, применяя те или иные очень уж очевидные и топорные приемы. Можно было бы сделать процесс проигрыша более замаскированным, если так можно сказать; ---------- ---------- ИТОГ: Почти идеал. Создано с выдумкой, акцентом на стилистике и любовью к своему творению. Гимн гномов, который звучит как мелодия старой песни "Мы пионеры, дети рабочих" вообще великолепен! Ставлю на стол 9,5 кружек пенистого, душистого пива, сваренного гномами, из 10 возможных. Разумеется, рядом с подносом, наполненным сосисками и копченой колбасой :-)

Union of Gnomes is a refreshing blend of roguelike deckbuilding and tactical strategy that takes familiar fairy-tale concepts and turns them upside down. Developed by Hoolignomes and published by HeroCraft PC, the game places players in charge of a rebellion of gnomes determined to overthrow the oppressive rule of Snow White. This unusual premise immediately gives the game a distinctive identity, separating it from many fantasy-themed deckbuilders that often rely on more conventional heroes-versus-monsters narratives. The result is a colorful and entertaining adventure that combines humor, strategic combat, and meaningful progression into a surprisingly engaging package. The game's story serves as more than a simple backdrop for battles. Players guide a growing resistance movement through a world inspired by classic fairy tales, encountering familiar characters and locations that have been reimagined through a comedic lens. The writing embraces satire and playful humor, creating an atmosphere that remains lighthearted even when the stakes become serious. Rather than presenting a dark revolution, the game delivers a whimsical struggle for freedom that consistently maintains its charm. The narrative may not be overly complex, but it provides enough personality and motivation to keep players invested throughout their campaign. Combat is where Union of Gnomes truly shines. The game follows the foundations of the roguelike deckbuilding genre while introducing its own tactical twists. Instead of controlling a single protagonist, players command a squad of gnomes, each contributing unique strengths and abilities to the battle. This party-focused design encourages experimentation and strategic planning, as success depends not only on the cards in a deck but also on how effectively the team works together. Every encounter requires players to balance offense, defense, resource management, and status effects, creating a satisfying level of depth that rewards careful decision-making. The card system is one of the strongest aspects of the experience. A large selection of cards allows players to build highly specialized strategies centered on damage output, poison effects, debuffs, support abilities, or complex combinations of multiple mechanics. Discovering powerful synergies becomes one of the game's most rewarding elements, especially during longer runs where a carefully crafted deck begins to showcase its full potential. The variety available ensures that different playthroughs rarely feel identical, encouraging players to test new approaches and adapt to changing circumstances. Like any successful roguelike, Union of Gnomes thrives on replayability. Randomized encounters, evolving deck options, and unpredictable rewards create a sense of discovery that keeps runs engaging even after multiple attempts. Defeat is an expected part of the experience, but each failure provides valuable lessons that improve future performance. The progression system successfully balances challenge and reward, motivating players to continue refining their strategies and pushing deeper into the game's content. This loop of experimentation and improvement forms the foundation of the game's long-term appeal. Another noteworthy feature is the emphasis on resource management and strategic choices outside of combat. Players must carefully decide how to navigate their journey, weighing potential rewards against the risks of future encounters. Recruiting new allies, upgrading capabilities, and conserving valuable resources all contribute to a greater sense of planning. These decisions add another layer of depth that extends beyond the battlefield and help make each run feel unique. Visually, the game embraces a bright and whimsical art style that complements its fairy-tale setting. Character designs are expressive and memorable, while environments successfully capture the playful nature of the world. The presentation may not rival larger-budget productions, but it effectively communicates the game's tone and keeps battles easy to read. Combined with fitting sound design and a lively atmosphere, the visual presentation helps bring the world of rebellious gnomes to life. Union of Gnomes succeeds because it combines familiar roguelike deckbuilding mechanics with a creative setting and strong tactical foundations. Its humorous story, squad-based combat, extensive card variety, and rewarding progression systems create an experience that feels both accessible and strategically rich. While some players may wish for additional polish or greater narrative depth, the game's inventive premise and engaging gameplay more than compensate. For fans of deckbuilders and roguelikes looking for something with a unique personality, Union of Gnomes offers an entertaining and memorable adventure that stands out in a crowded genre.

супер игра

Davvero divertente. Facilissimo da imparare, ma non così semplice da padroneggiare. Voto: 8/10

最sb的几点全犯了，一、喜欢在卡牌游戏里加命中回避率，各种50%连躲五六次自己闪避整天被打中。二、操作繁琐没有战斗加速，大地图中走格子选定路线后还要，再点一次确认，烦得要死。三、为什么能给敌人加血和加有益状态？？这不是默认加到自己身上的吗？？这你就不用确认了？？四、战后奖励居然不能跳过，不想拿还不行，巨tm弱智

This game made some design decisions that I find hard to understand. You start with a deck of 10 gnomes, and then have the ability to add more throughout each run. But the gnomes you start out with are no less powerful then the ones you find along the way, so unlike StS you aren't making your deck stronger by adding new cards; you are just diluting it and pivoting somewhat. Furthermore, you have to pay upkeep for each gnome in your deck. It is a very thematic rule, but mechanically it makes adding more cards have an even larger drag. Combined with needing to upgrade gnomes individually, the end result is that increasing your squad is liable to make you weaker, not stronger.

Cute fun slay the spire style game. Artwork is there, no so many animations, but it works.
