Knights in Tight Spaces

Falls into a few key problems I have with card-based games, and doesn't give you a way to effectively manage the issues. MANY of the cards can only be used in tandem with other specific cards, or only with specific classes, or only at certain combo levels, or only at certain distances. They provide no way for you to effectively cycle through your deck to get what you need. Battles take forever as you try to extract an optimal combination of cards in the right order from a deck of half unusable cards. A lot of the time, and I mean A LOT, you end up just moving your units out of the way of attacks over and over, waiting for the right combination of cards to achieve an objective or overcome a certain obnoxious enemy. The card rewards are random and sometimes cannot even be used by your party. Most of the cards just feel like bloat. You don't get the satisfaction of building an effective deck. The game also seems to be overly obsessed with you moving enemies around to kill each other or to throw them off a cliff, which gets REALLY old when those objectives are the only way to get something useful rather than more deck-bloating garbage cards. Imagine trying to fight 6 of 7 enemies with 30 health to a hair's breadth of life, so you can try to shove them into some other enemies swing for 5 damage without accidentally killing them, only to waste a 20+ minute battle because you trigger a support attack by accident. It just becomes sooooo irritating. I'd also say the characters and classes are VERY shallow, the story is shallow, and the map is pretty uninspired. If you want a card combat game that gets it, go with Slay the Spire 2.

Such a great potencial, but so much wasted... if you dont look at game design and card play, it is such a good game...

I enjoyed the game for what it was. That is to say, it's a relatively short card based TB RPG. There is not much plot, it's mostly focused on the card based battles. You do have to play through it at least twice to see the two paths through the game, and the second path with its boss rush at the end was quite fun, even if the first path was harder. Once nice thing about the game is the battles are pretty quick (under 10 minutes), so it's a nice game to play if you're taking a short breaks from something else. Enemy turns also run if you alt-tab out of the game, a feature I wish more turn-based games offered. I had some issues with randomness during my first few runs, but once I really got discriminating about the cards I kept and decreased my deck size (to about 7), it went a lot smoother. That said, the runs I lost are because the RNG didn't give me any cards to work with for my deck and the game could have been a bit more discriminating with the cards it offered. E.g. the game offered magic and archery cards to a party that had no one who could use a bow or cast magic. The opportunities to buy equipment or eliminate/upgrade cards from your deck are very limited. Effectively, you have to have a good idea what your deck will be when you start your run. There were also a few issues with character design, like the Swordsman seems to built around parrying and countering but can't wear armor, which limits his block to a value where he has to rely on dodge countering. I ran through the game both solo and with a party, I can say that having a party was easier. However, because the party shares cards, it has to be party of the same character type. I.e. you want 3 melee characters, not a melee, ranged and magic character. You want to avoid the situation where your melee character is in a position to attack and you only have magic and archery cards in your hand. This is the conundrum of the party system; a card based game like this rewards specialization, however players generally want a diverse party. I recommend this game, if you get it on sale and are looking for a title you can casually jump in and out of.

Crazy how bad this game ended up being, and instead of fixing it, the developers created an entirely new game instead, 2 Fights in 2 Tight Spaces. I wish I could refund this crap

Sadly can't recommend this game when its far superior predecessor Fights in Tight Spaces exists and is only $5 more. On top of that, the devs are making another game: 2 Fights in 2 Tight Spaces. (yes that's really the name) It's set to have it's 1.0 release in about a year and is currently available in early access if you want to play it in an unfinished state. This game does have great music, art, and decent comedic writing, but the deckbuilding and combat are severely lacking and will probably prevent you from enjoying your time with the game.

任务鼓励位移敌人，但设计一大堆免疫位移的敌人，何移位。 打折买的所以给好评，但是玩到一半感觉重复游玩体验不太乐观
