Doomspire

it's fun to figure out what is op. i like that it's focused more on fun than on balance.

If you like hearthstone dungeon runs, this game is for you as its pretty much taken that idea and built an entire game around it. I do feel it needs more content in the form of more bosses and new minion types/archtypes but at the current price its worth it.

I love the game, its a straight up dungeon crawler game without all the building a city or doing other things like most make you do. its a card based dungeon crawler so you build your deck and progress through the depths getting passives as you go. quick easy game to pick up and enjoy for hours. you can play an allegiance and see how deep you can get then try another allegiance and so on very fun and keeps you entertained for hours. I would definitely reccommend it.

pretty cool

Its not even early access, its demo

it's neat but it has like 0 reviews, especially since update

I've enjoyed the time I've put into this, although I do think it could use some tweaks. I think the moral of my story is that being strong in this game is really fun, so tailoring the gameplay so that we feel strong or have options relevant to the build we want to go will make the gameplay loop more fun in my eyes. I'm not a Roguelike person, so take this with sufficient grains of salt: 1) I like that there is a progression system, but that system has too much added onto it. There's passives, cards, Power cards, and factions locked behind the system. I personally would find it more enjoyable if they removed the factions out of the progression. That way, I can have a bunch of options at the start and narrow down to what I want as the game goes on. 2) I've found it difficult to progress to higher floors because there are certain passives that are very oppressive to play against. The one where ally units get +1/+1 after an enemy dies is extremely difficult to overcome, and getting that passive myself took a decent amount of runs to get the required experience. The passive where if an allied unit dies, deal 1 damage to all enemies can be really rough as well. Once both of these passives are unlocked, I found it easier to climb the floors, but mileage varies. Enemies also get powered up units after floor 15 and for me, it's been very difficult to deal with. Bosses starting out with a 4/5 Elven Archer on turn 1 where if I don't kill it, it becomes an 8/10 at the start of its next turn is tough to deal with. In general, dealing with anything that's not a 3/3 or lower on turn 1 is challenging, so these higher floors become overwhelming fast. 3) Individual bosses provide a lot of strain on the run. The Scorpion boss feels like a hard counter to any unit based build and once it's ahead by even a singular unit, it's tough to come back and I'm forced to skip it almost always. The Dragon and Mage do so much face damage that I'm forced to skip them when they have several passives. The Skeleton, Troll, Scarab, and Treant are the easier ones to come across; however, the Skeleton, Treant, and Elf all become too much once floor 15 happens. This leaves 2 bosses that are pretty reasonable to fight against until your build crumbles. 4) Rewards are varied, meaning that the build you want is as successful as the amount of rerolls you have and how quickly you can get it online. I wish there was a way to influence or assign preference on what you would like to see on the next floor. Health feels tough to come by, duplicate passives are super fun but also pretty rare in my experience, and passives are a lot of fun, but only if they are relevant. There's not much point or viability in going hybrid builds, so stacking everything that is relevant or helpful seems like the best approach I've come across. I'd personally like to see a Tier approach when it comes to passives, and maybe a currency that can be spent on acquiring better passives. As it is now, rerolls aren't frequent enough, so it would also be nice to see rerolls as a viable boss reward just like health, passives, and such. I'd also like power cards to not be a boss reward, but instead be a milestone reward. Alternatively, change the system so that instead of drawing power cards from the deck, they are cards in a separate deck that you can draw from any time its your turn.

Scratches that HS PvE itch!
