Fogpiercer

I only played for about an hour, but Fogpiercer just doesn't really come together for me. You control a train that drives on a one-lane track, and try to resolve combat encounters where enemies swarm around you. You can have several different carriages with different cards, and killing enemies causes them to skid backwards, causing damage to anything on the way. Some cards can also push enemies into each other, shield your train etc. It seemed like a very interesting concept I was happy to drop some money on, but it just doesn't really feel satisfying. First of all, enemies pretty much always have the advantage. Enemy vehicles can move around freely around your train, whereas you are (obviously) limited to the track. You can move your train back and forth the (very limited) area to dodge attacks, or shield carriages so they don't take damage. It is very similar to Cobalt Core in that regard, though in Cobalt Core you have more room to maneuver and fight back. Here, every carriage has two or three health, at least at the beginning, and if a carriage gets destroyed, all of its cards get destroyed with it and are replaced with a Malfunction card which causes damage to you unless you play it, and it has a very high cost. In other words, if your attack carriage(s) get destroyed, you pretty much lost, every time, unless there is maybe only one enemy with one health point left you can destroy with the Malfunction card, or try to dodge until you flee, which happens after a certain number of turns. It also really limits the balancing of the game; you pretty much need the shield carriage, otherwise you can't protect yourself from attacks. You need an attack carriage, otherwise you can't destroy enemies, unless you just want to dodge forever which doesn't really work in a lot of fights, including boss fights. It just feels oddly designed and very restrictive. There are also some other mechanics such as driver abilities, which are helpful but only come up every X played cards, and hazards, which may be the most useless mechanic I have ever seen because enemies avoid them every time unless you happen to have a card that reduces their cooldown by a turn; otherwise they always get out of the way, every time. It didn't really feel satisfying after the few runs I did, so I will refund. Maybe with some additional balancing it might feel slightly better, but as it stands, there seems little room for experimentation and the entire game design feels oddly restrictive, at least if you want to make progress.

Great Roguelite. if they keep up the good dev-work, it might even join the giants like monster train and slay the spire.

WITNESS ME AS I DRIVE THE FURY RAIL. -Mad "The Choo Choo" Maximus Just beat the first boss and this game is fantastic. I knew it was going to be a ton of fun from the demo alone. Several mechanics that keep you on your toes. I love taking out baddies and just seeing them slam into each other. I then proceed to honk the hell out of my horn. If you love deck builders with somewhat tactical puzzle elements of Into the Breach like others have mentioned, you will dig this.

I like trains and roguelites so this was pretty much guaranteed to be good for me.

1.超过回合数不给奖励，回合数又给的那么极少：高难度下对面援军来了就嗯托着，你不能短时间内打爆对应车辆，奖励就拿不到。 2.容错率太低，模组和好卡需要肝经验值搞局外，车厢报废后惩罚过于严重，哪怕修好了车厢，对应的卡组也会消失，然后卡组循环不起来，直接被滚雪球，几十分钟白玩； 3.回合数有限制，逼着你不能周旋（龟着打），包装车厢完好的近况下，你的输出不能落下。 4.商店模组好卡住卖的也太贵，不打折买纯亏，连着卡牌升级都是好几个分支（某些分支就是屁用没有，还不能玩家定向升级，ex人） 总结：该游戏题材新，但策划设计的游戏机制容错低，难度高，好的卡要肝局外，七八把才能过一把，不是肉鸽佬挫败感太强。

Took me a couple of runs to get my first win. You definitely need to think 3 steps ahead with certain train cars to set up multi-kills / not killing your own carriage. So just keep that in mind when playing but if you don't they do have a turn reset button which is VERY handy for when you realize 3 cards in you could have done your turn better. A very fun deck builder in all, worth the pick up if you're looking for a new turn based deck builder. I recommend using the gatling carriage after your first run with the artillery.

Excellent deckbuilder roguelike! Been following since early development and these guys really delivered. Moment-to-moment gameplay is easy to understand with a lot of nuance and wiggleroom for varying tactics, and so much progression it's ALMOST hard to keep track of it all. Will definitely be returning to this over and over, worth your time if you're a fan of the genre at all!

Nice solid game. Moving enemies around to get them to hit each other is super fun, the combos you can pull are really good. Starting train cars that you unlock are easy to understand and work cohesively together to make a strong pairing. Folks going on about bad RNG need to learn to chill. This isn't supposed to be some optimised meta deck to make the best run, just enjoy the game :)
