Azoove

A very well made digital board game, full of difficult decision-making, plans and surprises, challenging and genuinely thrilling. The mysterious setting and flavor is very appealing. Multiplayer works flawlessly. The progression is extensive and there is a lot of stuff I have yet to unlock. I can't wait to make more of my friends buy this so we can have some fantastic evenings of play!

Azoove is one of those smooth with it type games. We only won one run so far but that's only because the bear is a son of a bastard. Get some friends and give this a shot.

Very enjoyable game! Haven't been able to secure a win yet but loving the game so far. It presents a good challenge while having a real relaxing atmosphere. Great game to unwind to, feel like I'm starting to develop my strategy and can't wait to play more. Definitely going to try out co-op as well

Great little game to play with friends. Really enjoyed the information hiding mechanics and cooperation. Tutorial is quite obtuse but the game itself is very well-designed and intuitive.

Played this game with my girlfriend over the holiday and it was an amazing way to spend a date. highly recommend this game to people who enjoy co-op games that are a bit more story oriented or people who enjoy cerebral games about resource management in difficult times

this is a very good game, i don't usually enjoy these types of card, turn based games, but the element of having to guess what your friend is strategizing and also having to think vise versa. all in all, the developers are proactive in bug fixing the content is as enjoyable as you make it with your friend while the game is small the replayability makes up for it, like most rogue likes

TL;DR: Gameplay is a vibe, and pretty fun. Can be stressful at times, but also rewarding. A bit buggy and not too much reason to come back... yet. The game had a slow start. The current tutorial is a bit dense and hard to follow, but I was able to grasp the basics and solidified my understanding through actually playing the game. The actual game is more fun with a real friend than with the AI. The gameplay consists of resource management and really tests the chemistry between you and your duo, assuming you actually don't talk with your duo when told not to. Once the ball gets rolling, though, it's really fun. My duo and I wanted a casual co-op to chill with and this was perfect. We got to day 8 before losing, then day 9, then our third try made it through all 10 days. The search phases really tested our chemistry and we took a lot of gambles to make it through tough days, creating a lot of situations where only one or two combinations of choices would let us continue to the next day. In addition, the feeling of losing so close to the 10th day kept us excited to come back and try again. There's a lot of close loses, making the wins more rewarding without defeating you because you know you're so close every time you lose. I appreciate the option for harder difficulties once you win once, but the resource system outside of game is a bit confusing and is never formally explained - kind of just assumed that we pick it up immediately. The class system feels well balanced and classes don't change the experience so much that a meta should form. There are definitely better synergies between certain classes, adding more nuance to the game, but you could probably have very similar success with any combination of classes. The classes mesh well with different playstyles, adding a healthy level of diversity in the game. Would recommend more repayable options than increasing difficulty to keep the more fresh - maybe more classes that can be unlocked, or other options. I would have played the game more but it felt a bit grindy to unlock each difficulty level one at a time, so adding more variations in gameplay to increase replay incentive would bring me back. Would also recommend a rework of the tutorial to be more intuitive, straightforward, and akin to gameplay, as a bad first impression can scare players away from an otherwise fun experience. Also, some bugs make the ride a bit bumpy sometimes, but with every step being auto-saved, I was able to recover all progress by restarting the lobby every time. Not ideal, but definitely functional. There are also so many difficulty levels that getting an idea of which level would be the best for what I'm looking for might be hard. Less division in difficulty levels could solve the grindiness of difficulty progression and make it easier for the user to choose the best level for them. The fact that difficulty levels are numbered and have vague descriptions makes it hard to know how hard each level actually is, beyond "level 6 is harder than level 5". An idea/example is having 4 levels with universal terms like "easy, normal, hard, extreme", as opposed to 10 numbered levels with vague descriptions that can only be viewed if you progressed far enough to view them. The game is still in early access, so these are all open suggestions to improve on. Updated review when game is fully released. Overall, a fun experience with a friend you want to test your chemistry with, with a rough tutorial and some bumps.
