A bit of a repetitive grind, but overall enjoyable. It does a great job of capturing the atmosphere of Inscryption with different gameplay mechanics. The puzzles are creative and challenging. The game has wonderful sound design, art, and animations. I feel the combat mechanics do lack a bit of depth and strategy, but it's not bad. It is a game where you simply have to pay attention and plan your moves carefully around enemy range and weakness. I'm still confused about how height effects attacks though. I feel like some units might have special abilities, but they aren't explained and I didn't experiment to find out. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give it a solid 7.
I absolutely love this game. At first, I thought it would be a lot like inscription, but it takes the fundamentals of inscription and really turns them around in fun and interesting ways. I don't wish to spoil much for people just looking into the game mechanics wise because it's fun when you learn it yourself.
The atmosphere seriously carries the often shallow gameplay. But still a fun 1 time playthrough. First off, if you expect Inscryption 2 or just something adjacent, this is not it. It has similar vibes and atmosphere as Inscryption Act1, but not the deep, genius design, the thoroughly engaging gameplay. The game master is mysterious, creepy, and interesting to interact/talk with. Exploring the rooms and hallways is fun and always store surprises and puzzles. The game is overall very dark, and visibility is often an issue, even with a lantern. But the core gameplay is a board game, where you have your pieces with stats, and you have to defeat the enemy pieces. You earn gold during these games, with which you can upgrade your pieces to higher attack, defense, move distance etc so your next run will be easier. But once you figure out the very much existing meta and the objectively best 3-4 pieces, strategic planning goes out of the window, you kind of just grind through the hordes of enemy pieces with no real danger. Especially near the end when you get OP pieces, even bossfights become an easy, boring grind. Balancing and the lack of genuinely interesting encounters, interactions, deep mechanics is certainly a problem here. It is decent for a playthrough, overall I had a good time, even if the game has deficiencies and flaws, the atmosphere filled the cracks and the mystery pushed me to finish the game.
At first, the wolves are scary, then the sorcerers are scary, then the executioner is scary, then the main bosses are scary, then suddenly every encounter is manageable in a way that truly feels like you've mastered the game, and then you're travelling through the northern winds and... yeah it gets scary again. 10/10 would annoy the abyssal creature by touching everything again.
Can be brutally difficult. Expect to lose frequently for the first 10 or so hours, and DO NOT spread your upgrades among the pieces. Focus on upgrading your starting piece and deployment tiles first and foremost, and only branch out to other pieces after that. I made the mistake of upgrading too many of my pieces and had to restart my entire game as his pieces far outscale yours. But the atmosphere of this game is ummatched. The escape room puzzles are tantalizingly brain-teasing. I enjoyed this game enough to 100%.
