Fantastic! It's like playing Dungeons & Dragons with a phenomenal narrator. Be warned, there is a lot of reading involved.

It's a shame this game didn't get any recognition, because the concept is brilliant. The combat is pretty simple, and a little clunky at times I admit, but it's servicable. The encounters are great (except when you get shit on by the game, looking at you Dark Dweller...), and the game itself (achievements included) are challenging, yet not too difficult.

This game kicks major ass. Odd quirk on console, you can use two controller to control the same character, makes for some really fun and quirky two player

90% of negative reviews are morons that dont realise they can visually track the cards as they are being shuffled in chance sections, like jfc idk how someone misses that, this game is heavily based on decisions, every one of them matters. much more thought out and more thought provoking than the mindless grindfests that I see on the store page every week, nice to play an actual game for once (all my hours are on xbox)

Great game, intresting card/fighting game, the concept and the idea is amazing, kinda of a hidden gem this one. However it's luck-based usually and me and my luck are garbage, but besides that still a great game 10/10
