Blue Hunter

Fun game and worth the price tag. Not quite finished, but still feels very clean and well made, especially for a solo dev. The monster-to-card mechanic is neat. Since most cards can improve by obtaining another copy, it means fighting repeat monsters holds significant value. Also, each card is unique to each class, making each class truly a unique play style, even with the same deck and similar stats. Would love to see a progression system that carries over between runs and also a greater variety of classes. (Or maybe just a cheat mode so I can satisfy my need to max each stat in a single run?) I'm very much looking forward to any updates for this game.

What drew me to this game was the premise of the defeated monsters becoming the cards in your deck. It's a novel premise for a deck builder, and it works very well. There are different strategies depending on which monsters you face, and therefore which cards you optionally add to your deck. Even better, your character has stats, which can be increased to add more hit points, more damage, extra mana, and more to make battles easier. Further customization is possible using skills, acquired from treasure rooms, the in game shop, or leveling your stats. Yet another aspect is the multiple classes to choose from when starting a run. While the skills and stats function the same for each class, the monsters as cards have entirely different functions for each class. Then if that's not enough, each class has 10 difficulty levels, each making the game more challenging. Being early access, there are sometimes a few bugs. However, the developer is very responsive on discord, and with weekly updates the bugs are usually fixed quickly. It's a fun game now, and keeps getting more interesting with each update. I'd recommend this game without hesitation to any fan of the roguelike deckbuilding genre.

It's a nice game for a solo developer. That's a shame there is no more updates.

Slay the Spire, where defeated monsters are the cards that you add to your deck (one per fight). Finished my first run, Bonecrusher God is dead! --- +Surprisingly polished for an indie dev. operation +Plays smoothly and fast; no annoyances really +Attribute system works nicely +Player choice, strategic decisions +Music -Some balance issues are obvious; certain skills can be upgraded but make zero sense, e.g. revive and heal to 50% after death. After upgrading it can be 50% to 51% while another skill gains you flat out +1 mana per turn by upgrading. Also if you happen to get a skill that is unlocked via attributes, you just "waste" it. It doesn't level up. -UX/UI could use some improvements - e.g. cards that deal status effects could show those on the cards without selecting them and unlocked attributes should show the unlocked skills clearly. ⣿⣿⡻⠿⣳⠸⢿⡇⢇⣿⡧⢹⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡐⣯⠁ ⠄⠄ ⠟⣛⣽⡳⠼⠄⠈⣷⡾⣥⣱⠃⠣⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⠽⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢢⠏⠄ ⠄ ⢠⡿⠶⣮⣝⣿⠄⠄⠈⡥⢭⣥⠅⢌⣽⣿⣻⢶⣭⡿⠿⠜⢿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠄⠄ ⠄⣼⣧⠤⢌⣭⡇⠄⠄⠄⠭⠭⠭⠯⠴⣚⣉⣛⡢⠭⠵⢶⣾⣦⡍⠁⠄⠄⠄⠄ ⠄⣿⣷⣯⣭⡷⠄⠄⢀⣀⠩⠍⢉⣛⣛⠫⢏⣈⣭⣥⣶⣶⣦⣭⣛⠄⠄⠄⠄⠄ ⢀⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣎⢩⠌⣡⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠄⠄⠄ ⢸⡿⢟⣽⠎⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠄⠄ ⣰⠯⣾⢅⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠄ ⢰⣄⡉⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠄ ⢯⣌⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄ ⢸⣇⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄ ⢸⣟⣧⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄ ⠈⢹⡧⣿⣸⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠗⣈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠄ ⠄⠘⢷⡳⣾⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⢀⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠄ ⠄⠄⠈⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄⠄ ⠄⠄⠄⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠄⠄ = Highly recommended.

The premise of defeating monsters and using them as cards is very interesting! There is also a lot of potential for customization. Once there is more meta-progression the game will turn out to be great, even it's good already!

100% would recommend this game. For me it gave me the fun of those webtoons and stuff like Solo Leveling while holding fun mechanics of a deck game. Reminds me of Slay the Spire fused with that concept.

This game is quite addictive, and also has a huge potential

ENGLISH VERSION DOWN BELOW! YouTube Video [Wird noch bekannt gegeben] Einen Wunderschönen, Ich heiße AnnieverseVT Bevor ich zur Review komme, möchte ich kurz sagen, dass ich einen Key für das Spiel vom Entwickler erhalten habe. Dies jedoch nichts an meinem ehrlichen Feedback ändern wird. Nun gut, auch wenn sie Blue Hunter aktuell noch in der Early Access Phase befindet und noch ein gutes Stück vor sich. Kann ich jedem empfehlen es sich bereits zu holen, das Blue Hunter sehr vieles bereits zu bieten hat. Von coolen Kämpfen gegen Bossen bis hin zum Sammeln der Monster in Form von Karten vereint Blue Hunter verschiedene Genre und macht aus ihnen etwas völlig Neues und spannendes, das keinesfalls schnell langweilig werden kann. Und als Kirsche obendrauf, wenn ihr Rogue Likes mögt, dann solltet ihr nicht länger zögern und direkt hineingehen in den Grind. Den der Grind wird nicht schwer sein, aber euch Fesseln im Sinne dessen, dass ihr viele verschiedene Kombinationsmöglichkeiten haben werdet! Ich werde auch im Laufe der Entwicklung und höherer Spielzeit die Review updaten und auch ein Video zur Verfügung stellen! In diesem Sinne bis zum nächsten Mal. Eure AnnieverseVT YouTube Video [To be Announced] A beautiful one, my name is AnnieverseVT Before I get to the review, I would like to briefly say that I received a key for the game from the developer. However, this will not change my honest feedback. Well, even though Blue Hunter is currently still in the Early Access phase and still has a long way to go. I can recommend everyone to get it already, because Blue Hunter already has a lot to offer. From cool battles against bosses to collecting monsters in the form of cards, Blue Hunter combines different genres and turns them into something completely new and exciting that won't get boring any time soon. And as a cherry on top, if you like Rogue Likes, then you shouldn't hesitate any longer and get straight into the grind. The grind won't be difficult, but it will tie you up in the sense that you will have many different combination options! I will also update the review and provide a video as the development progresses and the playing time increases! On that note, see you next time. Your AnnieverseVT
