I had about 4000 rats and each rat was doing a billion damage per attack and they were attacking 300 times per second and then the game crashed

May 2025

Got this game on sale for under £10 thinking it'd just be a small little time waster. Little did i know it would consume my game time for the next three days (at my time of writing this.) i'd HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who loves finding synergies in other card games E.G: Balatro or Slay the Spire. While the amount of cards is limited in comparison the way they interact and work together is really interesting and can get quite absurd once you get that lucky run on your favourite combo. I would also like to add that while right now there are actually only SEVEN of the aforementioned nine kings. They are all very unique and fun to play. If you were curious about getting this game i would. From what I've seen the devs are very active and i've seen three small updates to balance and such already. im very eager to see what the devs have in store and especially looking forward to the other two unreleased kings.

May 2025

I love this game, I've been playing since the demo. Clocked in a lots hours. The good + New special cards are lots of fun + Added a lot of polish and good gameplay decisions since the demo (e.g. percent HP scaling). + Rats! + New kings are lots of fun What could be improved: + Game crashes a lot. It probably crashes once or twice per hour. + Performance becomes extremely bad at higher levels. I do not want new kings, I'd like them to fix these two issues first. Adding more kings and features on shoddy code is a bad idea.

May 2025

Rats killed my run... i had 12 rats plot level 200 and i got the splicing perk, now the game crash every time i try to continue the run. I want to finish the run ill try to log in the game in the supercomputer of a friend of mine and try to check the stats of rats Rats
