Nowhere Prophet

Really good deck builder with fun combat and mechanics that are an interesting twist to card games like magic or hearthstone. I love this game and fully recommend it to anyone who likes card games.

It's slay the spire, but with more lines of text and worse. Crucially: it's really hard, meta progression is very slow, balance is really poor at times, and bugs still exist. For example of the latter, I "merged with the machine" after beating both final bosses and didn't unlock anything despite playing a whole game (not quick) of a leader and deck I don't enjoy just because they would unlock other leaders and decks. There's 2 hours down the drain just because the dev either has a bug or is spiteful. Either way I can't recommend a game that doesn't respect your time.

This game felt a lot less like a deck builder and more like a roguelike version of a strategy RPG with an utterly STUNNING artstyle. The cards represent different fighters you have in your convoy and lined up for a fight, as well as a few powers you have as their leader. There are battlemaps of different sizes and you can decide where to put the fighters you want to play, putting them behind cover, utilising their special abilities, or placing the tank in the front to prevent you and the rest of your party to have a really really bad time. Was definitely nice to play and finish a run, and i can imagine getting the itch to play this again in the future.

Extremely frustrating and not fun at all. Game has no customization and is extremely dull and annoying, feels more like a job than a game.

Пока играешь постоянно ловишь себя на мысли что все выглядит и играется очень дешево (так и есть) , но лучше поиграть в другие творения.

It's good. It's a bit weird, but it's good. Functionally, this is a Banner Saga esque resource tracking game where your units die. But it's also a ccg roguelike. The spin it puts on this is interesting. Your summons take chips of damage, which lowers their cost, drops their starting health, and can eliminate them from your deck if they get damaged enough. So everything plays kind of expendably. Chump blockers don't stick around long unless you keep spending resources at campsites to renew them. Of course, a unit that KOs a player loses its damage chips, increases its cost, and gets an upgrade. So there's a lot of flex to your deck even over the course of a single area. Runs, for their part, are solidly long. About 4~ hours on normal, which I cleared on my first try. Unlocks are mostly different ways of playing. New classes and cards. This isn't a roguelike you grind to win. Which. Does mean it might not have huge staying power unless you really vibe with the mechanics. I thought they were cool, but didn't love them enough to do another run. I think on sale, this is a really safe pick. It's good, approachable, solidly written, the art is nice. It wasn't lifechanging for me, but neither is a hamburger, and people don't usually regret spending ten bucks on a hamburger.
