Azoove

I wrote a ton - but steam crashed and I lost my review. THIS GAME IS AMAZING! I am excited for the future of this game! If you like a unique experience with a board game/card game feel: THIS is the game for you!

Fantastic co-op game with strong core gameplay mechanics. Utilises non-traditional co-op comms in an effective way to create additional challenge. This is not for everyone, but it doesn't have to be. Fans of tabletop and deck-based and/or resource games should definitely take a look. Gameplay will be improved with increased variability and updates in the future. At the current price, I feel the game is well worth its value. An active developer gives this game great potential to be even better than it already is. Would recommend!

The game is fun, but lacking in content. Once you beat the game, you can choose to make it harder, but it's hard to argue for the games favor. The price would be fair for a fully flushed out game, but this is early access. Had fun, but it was limited.

The gameplay is very flat. In this style of game you'd really like to see a degree of progression or improvement of the things you're playing with (e.g. add/remove/improve your cards), but nothing really ever changes. The result is that you're just playing whatever cards add the type of resource you're currently missing the most, coupled with with some basic discussion ahead of time about what your teammate(s) should prioritize. The "don't talk to your teammate when picking cards" thing is just kinda meh. It's not the worst thing ever, but it's also not engaging. I'd rather they dump that and come up with something else. There's not a lot of strategy. There's very little depth. There's just not much going on in general. It's a shame, because the game could be a lot more appealing if there was actually deckbuilding or similar progression that was interesting. It doesn't seem like any mechanics like that are part of the future, so I'd say this is a game to skip.

An excellent survival card game with beautiful art, great music, and a clever twist on the cooperative element: limited communication. The challenge level is just right and scales with your amount of experience, making it very satisfying to beat as you progress; it's never too easy, but never wholly impossible either. If you like cooperative games, strategy games, interesting mechanics, reverse-psychology-ing your friends, or any of the above, do yourself the favor of adding Azoove to your library!

Very fun game to play with friends! The silence mechanic adds a really unique coop element to the game! Definitely recommend playing with friends in person or on a discord call so that you can plan during moments where verbal communication is allowed (and to see how you all understood the non-verbal communication when passing cards haha) The game is really well balanced to make the trek through the desert feel gruelling - every day is a fight to keep going which makes it really thrilling! The additional difficulty and trinkets add a lot more depth for subsequent playthroughs after winning the first time. The art and music in the game is beautiful! I especially love the art on the misfortune cards and the end credit song! Definitely recommend this game!

It's fun but there's not much there. Running it with a friend or 2 is where it's at, but running it with bots/AI who will sometimes choose to starve and end the run rather than picking the food option is sometimes unpreventable. 15 bucks seems kinda steep for the quality and content, I suggest you wait for a sale.

This ♥♥♥♥ is so Epic
