Crash The Core

There's a fun game in here, but it needs a lot of polish. I'd say to wait another four-ish months before buying. More than anything else the card and event text needs to be revised for clarity, by someone who's experienced in making game mechanics fit on a card and still be easy to grasp. It's not easy! To the designer: Welcome to the steep part of the learning curve! You're doing well so far. :)

I've refunded the game. To be fair it's not that bad a game, but the controls are a bit clunky. Especially when it comes to clicking, feels like a poor mans Slay the spire. It isn't bad, but if you aren't super into the genre you can safely pass up on this one. If you are into the genre, the summon and tool mechanic looks like a solid system when you give it time. So I'll give it a tentative Meh...

Well, it's an easy rogulike deckbuild for people who wants to start playing that genre. UI really needs polishment. Buy on sale.

This just isn't it, you can get a tighter experience with a cleaner UI and game feel with something else - if you want the sci-fi aesthetic than Griftlands has you covered (and is just a solid entry into the card-battler, deckbuilding, rogue-lite category anyways) and if you want something that has a similar vibe (block UI elements, more restrained combos, slower play patern, etc.) with more polish then Vault of the Void should do fine.

Great game but needs some polishing. The game play and cards are very fun with some interesting takes. The summons and gadgets are fun mechanics. Being able to build your own starter deck makes for a lot of depth which gives you huge control over how your deck-building goes throughout the run. Two areas I think need polishing the most are number of events and accessory options. The events are all very similar which generally result in a loss/gain of health or gold, it makes events pretty pointless. The second is all the accessories are just minor stat buffs to certain card types, which barely make a difference in deckbuilding. Overall, I think it was worth the price if you want to try a different deckbuilding roguelike game.

Interesting concepts, but fall short on polish. Barely any replay-ability, only 3 types of enemy and boss are the same. The game is way too easy one you know what you are doing. You get what you paid for at that price.
