TLDR: this game is indeed unbalanced as shit but it goes both ways, so if you like getting your ass beat for no reason as you learn to do the ass beating then this is the game for you I'll say it straight up, all these negative reviews are right on the money. Lots of useless or downright detrimental cards, builds that the game pushes you to that just don't work, more people on your field is bad, plenty of enemies in the early game that'll just nuke your ass even on a good run (Spitter you mofo) and enemies in the end game with bullshit abilities (I'm looking at you Ender Captain and Banner Wolf) but despite all that when all these wack ass and unbalance things work for you? oooh boi that is the good shit. I have nearly 50 hour in the game at this point though I'm pretty sure I beat it at around 15-20. this is also one of the only games I've 100% ever, which for someone has played literally hundreds of games and hates who hates achievement hunting is no joke. anyway, while looking up the name of Spitter I found out that I've never even seen the true ending cause it's looked behind an annoying quest so I might as well make my play time a nice round 50 hours

This game isn't just another deck builder, its thoroughly tactical and enjoyable. Bear with the info dump of a tutorial though. Once you have started playing it you will get it really fast :)

Overall I would very much recommend Banners of Ruin. Lots of solid card and world mechanics, interesting interactions between the different character/weapon/skill archetypes, and just generally I dig the 'Redwall but just more violent' vibes. The progression ramp is also very good, allowing you to uncover the progression-hidden content in what feels like a very natural way. I would also recommend the DLC characters, as they add quite a few fun ways to play through runs. Without giving too much away, one of them does make the most difficult Challenge a lot more straightforward to get through, but I'm not complaining. I only encountered a few bugs, only one of which might have made me lose a run but luckily didn't, but otherwise the game is solid from that standpoint.

Great game. My favorite deckbuilder. Good atmosphere, its not just a digital card game, but it all works together to create an experience.

My almost 230 hours play time probably speak for themselves but I love this game despite not even being a big fan of card games but building out your deck around the characters you've chosen is a lot of fun for me. It's easy to learn but hard to master and unlocking everything that is available will take some time. Hint: killing the Warden isn't the end of the game. ;)
