Surviving winter in a fun and stylish roguelike deckbuilder. I stumbled upon this game only by luck when I saw it bundled together with another game. The anime art of this game clicked instantly to try the demo and man, it does not disappoint. Very unique gameplay, turn-based with card deck and board game similar to gwent but the enemy keeps advancing closer like a tower defense. To prevent such enemies from closing in to our base is the main point of the battle. After the tutorial campaign, the game gives you a lot of characters and 4 factions along with reinforcement cards that can be enabled/disabled, makes a huge possibility of combinations to try. Here's to hope for hours of fun experience to come.
Best game I played in the last few months, even if unfinished. They fixed the really broken translation. It was too big to be ignored. So it s satisfying gameplay for most of it tbh. I still think it s worth the price. Now there is only a few cards that are unclear (less than 10 maybe, out of 200+). And personally, past 5h of playing, I stopped reading the flavor text of events so I dont care if they are gibberish/ badly coded. It doesnt impact the gameplay much. If you are picking it up, expect some gibberish and some events giving more rewards than what s written, and you ll be good. --- Previous salt I love this game but cannot/ dont want to recommend it. The translation to English is trash and it doesn t look like they are going to do anything about it. And I m not talking about the events being incomprehensible (which half of them are), but about the effects of cards/ characters being unreadable: unclear target for the effect, text missing, words in the wrong order, same word for 2 different effects, etc. I love this game. Mechanics are awesome. The world building is unique. There are so much variety and possibilities I am still discovering new ways to use the basic cards. The management in between fights is interesting, fights are rewarding, events are awesome... it s good! There is a lot of cards, and there are lots of ways to manage the pool you ll be playing with. So many things are well thought. Honestly, this game is a banger. There is also room for improvement: most niche mechanics are not triggering as explained, some achievements are obscure, some events give rewards that are different than written, the balance is questionable, the demo isnt updated to the current game version, ... fine tunings... But there is no care for the translation to English. I ve been playing a few games like that and it gets tiring: on top of learning how to play, some cards/ effects are so obscure I dont want to play with them at all. It takes too much effort to try and clarify them one by one. Right now, I would say that I wont be playing with at least 30% of the content. Just because of bad English. A shame.
Firstly I have to mention the AI art in this game. You choose if this affects your purchase decision. I really enjoy this game. It itches my brain the right way. This game is roguelike deck-building turn-based card tower defense game. A LOT of cards. Many playable characters. A LOT of upgrades and builds you can try. Dice throws decide the outcome of your decisions/rewards. And you can even alter the dice score. Lock or unlock the cards you want to see in your game. Many difficulty levels. There is even restart battle and last turn option. Game has unique enough mechanics and gameplay that make it stand out of other same genre games. I really like the tower defense style card laying you do on columns. Translation is okaish... but sometimes hard to understand. I'm not that good in english and I could come with better translations for the game.
Leaving this review 73 hours into the game. Cleared a final boss run on highest difficulty with the Wave Arrow Tower stacking it's HP to 7500 to one shot the boss. Was it a long fight? Yes. Was it fun? Certainly. I've been doing the final boss runs using each commander's special effect at least once. I'm currently doing the advance passives and encountered the first clear where I literally have no idea what's going on! I decided to leave a review because this experience totally sums up the game. Any deck can be broken. Most of the times, you'll need to understand how the mechanics work, but sometimes the games throws this things that makes you question how. Was this clear a bug? I hope it can be checked XD Anyways, check the bottom part if you want to buy the game. Consider this: What I like: * Replayability - Very high - It's RNG, but kinda controllable. Difficult scales but it can be done. * Gameplay - it's game mechanics have a unique flavor - it's simple, but it gets complicated because the D&D aspect of Rolling to get results on events highly affects your run. * The available factions are plenty - you'll probably stop playing before trying everything, but I guarantee that if you thought of trying something, it can be done, and it will be fun. * Event dialogues are awesome - translation is okay. *Music/Sound is <3 This game is not for you if: You have low contextual understanding - there are a lot of descriptions that feels short, specially regarding the effects of the cards. This might take a while of trial and error before understanding how things work. You cannot get it if you just read it, you must dedicate a trial run to understand. You don't want to spend time learning - the learning curve here is steep. I'm on 70+ hours and to be honest, I haven't tried checking half of what the different card effects do. No time - Like most card-building games, this will take time. Although the rougelike elements do add flavor, runs may take from 1 hour to 4 hours depending on how bad you've built your deck. There is only one saved game - you can only go back to your previous campaign, and starting a new game will delete the previous one. --------------- TLDR: Buy this if you wanna dive deep 50+ hours to a game that will not explain a lot of things and you'll need to figure things out on your own. YOU ARE A LORD SO FIGURE IT OUT. Byeeeeeee
