A crunchy deckbuilder with great art and worldbuilding and a uniquely fluid feel to the combat. A lot of players seem to be put off by the difficulty curve. My suspicion is that it's not much more difficult than classic deckbuilders like Slay the Spire, but that there's a tension between the game trying to promote a combat experience which is fluid and cinematic and a mechanical system which demands close attention to small details. It feels great to fire off cards quickly and watch your character chain through combos. But if you get too attached to that feeling you'll soon run into enemies with abilities which punish your carelessness. This promotes a lot of early 'feelbads' - where you feel like you're mastering the game only to lose (seemingly) out of nowhere. (It would be particularly cool to double down on the design focus of the game as a way of addressing this. Perhaps a cut-scene, or a little bit of voiced exposition about the enemies you're about to face - especially with the biggest/most impactful ones - would be enough to give players a heads-up without being too intrusive. Think Darkest Dungeon's little descriptive voiceovers.) However, if you stick with it, it's definitely rewarding. And while I can't vouch for every combo of characters being equally viable for wins, the variety of choices you get to make and playstyles you get to experience helps to make up for that. If you're looking for a good starter combination, then any of the big sword guys paired with any of the other big sword guys feels easiest to me. Because their parry ability can counter a huge attack and turn it around as damage, they naturally compensate for the aggressive damage scaling from your enemies. Overall, well worth a bit of playing around with. Might be frustrating if I were a completionist, but I feel like I win runs of this about as often as I win high ascension runs of Slay the Spire (which is to say, seldom!) and that I generally have as much fun here.

It is a very fun game with a very fun concept and a great balanced cast of characters who each have a unique feeling play style to mix up the formula. I've enjoyed countless hours of this game and can only complain that the game feels *too* balanced. Unlike other deck-building roguelikes on the market that I've also played this game feels too scared to lean into the chaotic imbalance that helps make each run feel different. Relics/Antiquites buffs are usually waaaay minimal to make runs feel different or effect your playstyle from run to run. The Uniqe Run Starts are also interesting but either fall into the "too minimal in impact to be interesting" or "completely shake up how you start the game" for better or worse. There are also a lot of quality of life changes regarding the UI I'd make like the buffs and debuff icons being so out of the way they don't really matter and are so similar you lose track of just what the hell is happening to your character; buffing some cards so they feel less like deadweight in the deck; and changing up the two (or was it three?) of the similar looking elite enemies who have completely different and unique gameplay affects but I can't tell them apart most of the time. Keep in mind this criticism is coming from someone who thoroughly enjoys this game and wants to see it improve, get better and be even more fun for me and everyone else who enjoys this game. I doubt this game is going to see a massive overhaul of its mechanics so hopefully it gets a sequel or at least gets opened for modding of the Steam Workshop so I can implement changes to this game myself

Beneath Oresa is a solid deck builder that is extremely difficult until one picks up the nuances of it's system. It looks fantastic and plays like no other deck builder I have encountered, it almost looks like a comic book in motion. The mechanics in this game are pretty obtuse as there is much trial and error. Initially it can be overwhelming as the devs throw you into the gamut without much help, relying on your knowledge of other deck builders is critical, and even then the system can be overwhelming. It takes a good seven to ten hours to become somewhat comfortable with the different characters and companions. I recommend using the character Jokun to start as he is very strong and can keep you in fights that may be overwhelming with other characters. Companion wise, I would use the drone or the girl knight as they give healing and defense but unfortunately you will have to do some grinding for her. I think this is a great game, however there are some caveats. First is the aforementioned lack of clarity for how the systems work making it an exercise in frustration that if you do not have the patience or the time can lead to quitting the game or losing interest. Second is the lack of any dialogue between the characters. I am all for "making your own story" but damn so context would be nice for who these people are, why they are fighting, what are they fighting for, what is Oresa and who are these bosses? Overall a solid game that needs some refinement if the developer wishes future iterations of this or success for their other IPs. I think some DLC could take this game a long way...Also a bestiary for the characters and enemies with brief descriptions. Just some thoughts. I give this game an 80% - B- *LoA*

This game deserves WAY more recognition! It is an absolute blast to play because of the music, the atmosphere, and most especially the wonderful mechanics I don't think I've seen in other deckbuilders. The fact that some cards grant you bonuses if they are auto-discarded instead of being played is such an interesting way to approach how a round is played. Aside from Fights in Tight Spaces, I think this game also exemplifies a new standard other deckbuilders should live up to in regards to having epic cinematic animations play out whenever you play a card. That attention to style, detail, and production really helps bolster an otherwise already awesome card game.
