in another effort to review every video game that has helped distract me from the crushing weight of my own mortality and the unavoidable horrors of the human condition: i'd give this game a 7/10 with the footnote: i really enjoy that this game plays itself so i can doomscroll while i play and further harm my attention span

This game is so fun and satisfying to play. As a dad of two young children, it's a great game to play since it has async battles and I can get up and do things while playing. The art and sound effects are amazing. One feature I'd like to see is a key to press that temporarily hides or fades out all the items in your backpack so that you can view all your bags and hover over your bags. There are times where it's hard to scan and see what bags are underneath, or you want to hover on a bag to see what it does.

The only PvP game worth playing - because there's no interaction with other players.

No microtransactions. No pay 2 win mechanics. No waste of time meta grind to pad the game out. You buy the game, everything is right there, and then it's up to you to master it. Plus regular updates and balancing, and at a very reasonable price. This is how a game should be.

I wish the art-style of the characters would be more like the watercolour style in the logo. Not really a fan of the other. Apart from that the gameplay is simple but had a lot of depth due to the combinations and different characters. They keep on improving the balance and for the most time its totally fine imo. Great game to just hop into, do 2 rounds in 30 minutes and move on for the day. No micro-transactions is also a big plus.
