Absolutely gorgeous city-builder and deck-builder. It feels great to build out each little settlement, combo-ing the building and spell cards together to out-pace the darkness. Edit: And it runs flawlessly on Steam Deck! <3

This is my second favorite roguelike city builder after Against the Storm, but that one has beavers in raincoats so it's a pretty unfair contest. Still, I very much enjoy the Norse theme and the aesthetic that blends a rustic feel with touch of future-tech. The core mechanic of playing cards, placing buildings, and trying to generate resources effectively is very addicting, as is the meta progression. You can make some terribly fun combos with the right mix of artifacts and cards. The game is not perfect; for one, it needs a conclusion beyond finishing the quests. A simple "well done" from a god or two would go a long way in this economy. Two, it could use more maps: you'll see them all after a handful of runs. Three, it could also do a bit better at conveying threats and challenges. The risks of difficult maps are mixed in with your artifacts and buffs and can be very tiny if you have a lot. Also, when you use a card to spawn a threat, what spawned and where? The game isn't very clear on this. These are nitpicks, however. When I picked up the game, I wanted to keep playing until I was done and I was very satisfied throughout.

This is a mild recommendation. The game is fine but feels a little unfinished. I quite enjoyed my first few runs, but after winning my first 3 runs, I realized I had already completed the story of the game and what was left was grinding meta-progression in order to grind a make-your-own difficulty system. While I enjoy a Hades-like Heat system, I prefer it when it arrives late, not after 2 hours of playtime. I was also a bit disappointed to see that the meta-progression does not unlock any more cards. After 4 runs I now feel like I've already seen most of the strategies that there are to see in the game. All in all it's a fun game for a little bit, but it fell off quite quickly for me.

This is a really fun take on a 4X type game. Buy it. If you're hesitating, just grab it on sale. Great balance between keeping stuff simple enough to jump in and enjoy, while having enough stuff interacting to have some pretty rich strategy. I'm not drawn to deckbuilding as a videogame mechanic usually, but this utilises it to really nice effect, makes for a very cool way to tune your build run-to-run. Also a great balance between strategy you can get invested in and chill vibes that you can relax with. Nice music, nice art, interesting story that is both surprisingly accurate regarding Norse myth but also puts a fun twist on it. A couple bugs here and there, but nothing game breaking. The game sort of doesn't have an end to the story, which makes sense for a roguelike about being stuck in an endless loop, but it makes the game feel sorta unfinished. I'd love to see that get fixed in a patch but not getting my hopes up; lots of work to get into the weeds to go fix all that. The game system is fun, and shows promise, so I'm hoping the devs improve on those points in some future game instead.

A really clever game, spicing up a lightweight base-builder with deck-building, run-based roguelite elements, light narrative reveals that are tied to gameplay in a low-stakes way, and a freeform way of unlocking permanent upgrades that mimics the core gameplay itself. You can see where it borrows some of its elements from, and I appreciate the way it incorporates them without feeling anything like the games that it learned from. There are a few quality-of-life things that I'd change (the inability to look at my whole deck when selecting a card to add or remove is frustrating at times, and once in a while building placement leaves me wishing that I had just a little more information, but stakes are low enough that the impact isn't that big anyway), but responsive devs, regular updates, and gameplay that clearly has the user in mind are all the green flags I want to see.
