Amazing card battler. Kinda like Slay the Spire but with a Lovecraftian setting and story and also with more complex mechanics and builds. If youre a card battler fan, you MUST play this game 10/10

Short Version Do you like [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/646570]Slay the Spire ? Do you like Lovecraft-flavored games? If yes to both: buy this game. Longer Version Menace from the Deep is Lovecraft-flavored Slay the Spire. It's got cards and the equivalent to rooms, paths, and towers. It has some neat additions and refinements to the rules and the three classes (and a fourth with DLC) all play differently. And every single aspect of the game is lightly sprinkled with stuff from the Cthulhu Mythos. Cool things I lilked [*] It really refines the Slay the Spire formula by adding equipment on top of consumable and relics. They are like mini-relics and you can only carry three of them by default. They can do some powerful things. In story mode, it also has a base-building component that gives you permanent bonuses, all of which are immediately useful. [*] The artwork is fantastic. I bought the art book. The style fits the genre and the subject-matter perfectly. The design of all of the creatures is well-done and they look pretty close to how I visualized them, even for something as obscure as Zoogs. The design of Nyarlethotep is particularly inspired. [*] The music is also very good. I bought the soundtrack. It's spooky and sounds era-appropriate, like the soundtrack you'd play while running a TTRPG Call of Cthulhu game. [*] They went and got fully voiced characters for the cut scene movies and some of the encounters on the road and they sound like actual voice actors, not just "my cousin who had a free weekend". [*] Extensive card upgrades with multiple paths on many cards. I feel like most games in this genre have minimal or no card upgrades. Upgrading your cards in Menace from the Deep is a core mechanic and one of the primary ways you can customize your playthrough. I like the way they do it so much that I'm now judging other games in the genre against it. Things that are meh [*] The story is a predictable clichéd mess. Nothing has surprised me so far. Nothing in the "investigation" section made me drop my jaw. None of the cut scene movies had me gasping in surprise. [*] The voice acting is inconsistent. Or rather, there are different calibers of voice actors in the different roles and it sounds like they never actually worked together based on the varied pronunciations of some of the (albeit difficult) words. [*] The Lovecraft trappings are entirely skin deep. If there is some deity or creature mentioned in Lovecraft, you'll probably fight it. The abilities of the creatures make sense, but when they show up or why they show up is never explained. Tsathoggua and a Shoggoth are both possible Elite Foes for example. You might fight Mi-Go at one stop then Elder Things, then a couple of Deep Ones. What's really funny is when you are on the third level and you fight a group with followers of Azathoth, Hastur, and Yog-Sothoth side-by-side. [*] The design of Cthulhu itself is underwhelming. After the standout art for almost every other creature, the interpretation of Cthulhu was about as bog-standard as it could be and it's also way too small. Terrible things [*] Nothing. There are no terrible things, just good things and meh things. Random thoughts [*] I still can't figure out how to successfully play as The Detective. I've gotten to Cthulhu as every other class. [*] Where my Great Race of Yith at? Found them! [*] So is the merchant's name actually "Weirdo"? Steam Deck Status Fine on Deck You have to use the right track pad as a mouse and the triggers as the mouse buttons so it's the simplest but still extremely functional way to implement Steam Deck compatibility. It supports native settings and I didn't have to make any adjustments to make it look right or perform correctly. It's also surprisingly light on battery usage.

Really addicting upgrade loop, when you start getting the good stuff. The problem is that it takes a little while and if you're someone just trying the game out: give it some time. You will have to play it through multiple times and the best advice i can give is this: read the descriptions on the cards and relics! If you stick with it, you soon will learn which works together, but i will take some time. When you got a deck that works, plus good relics, only the cheating a-hole Chthulu stands in your way of dominating everything!

This is awesome card game. I love card games, I played MTG, Hearthstone and Gwent for many years, and tried other offline stuff (I mean... MTG is offline lol :) ) like Slay the Spire. But this... this is really good stuff. I spent so much hours testing decks and enjoying AWESOME music, art and animations. I promise you, you won't regret buying this game.

Highly recommended! This is a solo dev or a very small team but they drop content and balancing every month! The way their updates are written show their care as well. Just for that alone I would highly recommend it. The game itself is super fun, it's a very good card game roguelike with an option to create your own deck or pick ''classes''. You keep playing through a campaign where you have to ''gather'' resources to upgrade your house that gives you buffs for the playthroughs. After 20 hours I didn't get every single upgrade yet, but I did feel like i have seen most of it. That is the only shame, that there wasn't more of the game.
