Did I buy this game because of a recommendation by Todd Howard on the Kinda Funny podcast? Yes. Yes I did. Did I know what I was buying? No. No I did not. Is this game amazingly addictive and a combination of Slay the Spire mixed with Tetris? Yes. Yes it is.

The core gameplay totally rocks when it clicks, and I've had a ton of fun thus far. It's well worth the money. However, it's no Slay the Spire. It's a fun turn your mind off kind of game, but it has some serious issues: 1. It runs shockingly poorly. Maybe this is an issue on my end, but I can play high end games without dipping below 60 fps, and this game will sometimes hit single digits. It's pronounced if I leave the game on for longer, so maybe there's some memory allocation issues going on. I've once accidentally left the game on for a day and had to restart my PC because it was stuttering and barely responding even after closing the game. Never had this issue for any other game. 2. The game is deeply unbalanced. As you play, you unlock cards for new terrain, rivers and mountains. These make the game almost exclusively more difficult. I have won on nightmare difficulty for each faction, and the only path for victory was deeply leaning in to the faction's base cards (or just rushing faith). Maybe on lower difficulties you could incorporate river and mountain cards into your deck but at that point you'd just be doing it out of boredom. As a result, I pretty much exclusively win runs with a grass/forest deck. Plus faith is busted. 3. Difficulty curve is wack. Boss 1 is reasonable, boss 2 is significantly more difficult, and then boss 3 is significantly more easy.

What I love: The gameplay. The premise. The art. The music. The sounds. The FEELING. What I HATE: No Banish mechanic. Unlocking new cards bloats your card pool with biomes and buildings I dont want, especially when using certain classes. There has to be a way to relock certain cards or banish cards within a run to all for more precise build making. As it stands, im currently deliberately avoiding unlocking new cards until i beat the hardest difficulty with "The Duchy" because I think it's easier than unlocking all of the cards and constantly getting stuff I don't want, ESPECIALLY River tiles, which are practically useless for "The Duchy" Class. This should be the dev's highest priority in the first update.

I want to rush a review, because that's how you make beautiful, replayable, and original games that hook the player from the opening screen and his first run! points of interest (their description fully explain what do you expect): + beautiful visuals and music + functional UI + lots of meta-progression + beloved tetrus puzzles + trully strategic choices (not just +1 +2 cards) + replayability and hook-ability out of this game world!!! Be blessed, design team! trully, how do you manage this achievement!?

I played Drop Duchy extensively during the demo and immediately bought the game when it fully came out. Roguelite, puzzle, city-builder Tetris is a very unique game genre, but it does an amazing job of pulling it off. Building up your card selection and board is satisfying, and each round feels different as you try to maximize your adjacency bonuses while balancing it with trying to make it tightly packed and get the most resources every round. If that wasn't enough, there is even a unique combat system in this game where you have to try to place your own military buildings (of 3 classes, each of which counter another like in rock-paper-scissors) and get bonuses for fulfilling their requirements while also being forced to place enemy military buildings to try to minimize the bonus troops they get. It's a really fun puzzle, and an extensive progress tree means you're always unlocking new mechanics and tile types for your future run. If you like roguelike games, I would highly recommend it.
