Engaging tactical deckbuilder. Game may feel repetitive if you've 'solved' the best strat on any given samurai but there are enough challenges/variation that I enjoyed it.

There is good reason to argue for either rating, but I'm coming down positive because despite the multiple frustrating, experience-ruining, time-wasting bugs that prevent quest completions from triggering after load, I still want to keep playing the game. A worse game gets put away after 1 strike. Still should be fixed, but the core loop is a very satisfying deckbuilding snowball.

Fun card battler to kill time with. Decent RPG progression. Hopefully they add some DLC content.

Mahokenshi is a creative board game-like deck builder wherein you split your cards and energy between movement and attacking. Upgrades and unlocks between missions are solid. Note that many missions and bonuses are tied to performing tasks within a set amount of time.

Fun concept, healthy bit of options in your strategy and approach thanks to the different characters you can play. Overall good fun to be had for a time, worth getting at a heavy (~75%) discount for the following reasons: Kinda buggy, avoid using Celestial (Spirit?) Warriors to not get yourself soft locked out of progression. Doesn't run efficiently and is noticeable even for better machines. Not enough content to keep you engaged for longer periods of the time, price tag doesn't justify the average hours this gives you before it starts to feel kinda samey.
