Very fun game, but it has its own flaws. Let's do the good old pros and cons. Pros: 1. The gameplay. Duh. It is fun, it is challenging, it is very little RNG-based, it is interesting... basically, it's good. Not much to say here. I actually found the scarecrow test to be the most fun part. 2. Artstyle. Pixel art in this game is very eye-pleasing, it just feels nice to look at. 3. Music. Certified banger after banger, regardless of stage. Aside from alt stage 3, which just has none, but oh well. 4. Price. Game is cheap. Very cheap. It is to be expected, given how short it is, but still. Cons: 1. Length. Yeah, I won't beat around the bush. I 100%'d the game in 5 hours. It is to be expected from a game that cheap, but still. There is barely any content in this game. Speaking of content... 2. Replay-ability. Supposedly, it's a rogue-like. However, it has, quite literally, no replay-ability. Every single run, bosses are the same (unless you feel quirky and decide to clear alt stage 3), unlocks end very soon and you can even upgrade every single card very soon. There is not much reason to stay in the game after you finished main story, or, even if you decide to play more, after you 100% achievements. 3. Bugs. Or rather, a bug, a singular one. It isn't too annoying, but sometimes, in-game sounds, aside from music, just stop playing, making all animations happen in silence. So, yeah... this is a kind of a game that would REALLY benefit from Steam Workshop support.

Highly Recommended, But It's Very Short ! I loved the soundtrack, the characters were great, I thoroughly enjoyed the plot, but the gameplay is so unique that I can't think of any other place to get the same experience. For a more detailed breakdown of the gameplay, it acts as a roguelike kind of. In between runs, you fine tune your 20 card deck, upgrade cards, and set the difficulty for each boss. Then, a run consists of the same 4 boss fights, each of which you have to kill in a single turn. These OTKs are only doable because of the game's unique approach to 'Mana,' as the cost to play costs is to draw that many cards from your deck. This means that each fight will easily get to see every card in their deck, although you might draw your high cost ones too late to use. Because of this, the idea is to construct a deck that has has a combo for the need damage for your difficulty. As you beat the bosses and start running on higher difficulties, the bosses actually force you to play entirely different. The first guy starts a 5 card timer as soon as you half his health, the second starts flooding your deck with 'useless cards,' the third has a real-time timer that gets reset when you deal enough damage, and I'll leave the fourth (and the alternative third) as a surprise. Because the first one has that half health timer, you need to make sure your setup doesn't accidently start that timer before you're ready. Because the second floods your deck with 'useless' cards, you can play your pricy cards without fear of running out... and if you're not drawing enough, you'll lose. Because the third acts on real time, you need calculate which attacks you can afford to drop to buy yourself more time to combo. This game is very well put together but does have a single minor issues (cards that say they create another card don't display what that other card does) . The only "real" issue is that I was able to beat the whole thing in the listed 2.6 hours I have on record. I will say that I believe I managed to find the deck early on, and that my skill level for card games is probably higher than average. Based on the other reviews, I'd say at least double that time for someone who isn't as devoted as I am to the genre. I would beg for a sequel or a continuation, but I sadly doubt that'll happen. If it does though, I know what I'll be spending my money on!

The game is definitely more than what you would expect for a deck builder game. The way how the card cost works is also very interesting. Instead of using stored energy system, it uses the amount of cards in your deck as a way to pay the card cost. it creates an interesting challenge between balancing the card cost of your cards in your hand, balancing of drawing or return cards to the deck, and many more. The boss gimmicks are very creative and pose an interesting challenge or a puzzle to solve. Each boss of the game really tests your deck to its limits, and the run is short enough that you can quickly see the flaws of your deck and your misplays. A deck may be strong against one boss, but can be weaker to another, and the randomness of cards and boss gimmicks prevents you from doing the same strategy over and over, requiring you to adapt to the situation and maybe even do a different strategy in the same deck. I usually don't really like deck builder games, but this one has been very fun for me.

Well this was freaking incredible. Everything from the core combat system, to the separation of the deckbuilding and roguelike aspects, to the great world building and music, all the way to just an overall cornucopia of excellent ideas, and all extremely well executed. If I have to give one complaint, it's simply that I want more. I definitely can't whine too much about getting 5 hours out of an $8 game though, with plenty of room to build new decks and experiment to my heart's content. The year is young, but this is easily my running GotY. Strong 9.5/10.

I wish the game was a bit longer or made me change my deck around in some way or something. My strategy as the game elapsed hardly changed, and I didn't really need to experiment very much to find a working strategy. I think that is a shame because there were a lot of cards I hardly or straight up did not use, and there are probably some cool interactions in them. Overall, I think that the gameplay loop was well-executed. Each enemy serves a purpose, as they are something your deck has to be able to deal with. The way that card costs worked was pretty interesting, not sure if that's been done anywhere else but it is a really cool idea. For the game length, the story was good. As an English player, the localization was good especially for an indie title, which definitely helps.
