You mean to tell me after all the trash and gimmicky battle roguelikes that use a slot machine that I've played, the only one that actually incorporates the slots into the mechanics in a smart and creative way is only $1 on sale on Steam?? I can't believe I didn't hear about this before. I legitimately found it rummaging through the steam Summer Sale looking at cheap deckbuilding roguelikes. Hidden gem. This isn't going to change your life or anything, but it's an excellent bite sized package and unique spin (pun intended) on the genre. And like I've said, it's the only one that I've come across that built it's gameplay around the slot machine idea rather than stuffed it in as an afterthought.

Es un rpg por turnos pero para ludopatas degenerados. EN LA SIGUIENTE TIRADA ME RECUPERO. EN LA SIGUIENTE TIRADA ME RECUPERO. EN LA SIGUIENTE TIRADA ME RECUPERO. EN LA SIGUIENTE TIRADA ME RECUPERO. EN LA SIGUIENTE TIRADA ME RECUPERO. EN LA SIGUIENTE TIRADA ME RECUPERO.

I'm recommending this due to the price point. 8hrs of play so far for $5. I do have some issues. I don't quite fully understand how the cards and slots work with the weapons. It's not well explained. When you unlock the monk, you just start dealing stupid damage, yet struggle with most other characters. I need someone to hold my hand and explain wtf is going on... besides that, I've been enjoying the game, I just don't know why or what I'm doing.

I came across this by accident. I don't normally play roguelikes but this one is really good. Runs are relatively short and have a defined end goal. The game's systems have a good balance between simplicity and depth. Some characters feel weaker than others but maybe I just didn't figure out the right strategy. I really enjoyed seeing just how broken I could make some builds.

I think the game has a lot of potential within the genre. I just think it need a bit more work - some balancing, and remove the stupid weapon durability.

It's okay... I guess. For what it costs, I suppose I can recommend. The art is decent, and the core gameplay loop is fun, but the balancing is horrible, with a lot of things feeling like oversights. Why is chain so much more powerful than everything else? Why do the big scary rats from the third level sometimes show up and obliterate you on level 1 or 2? Why are there loads of ways to get armour but no payoff for it? Why is poison / burn so useless against enemies and yet so strong against the player? Fleeing feels useless, until you realise that fleeing a boss counts as a victory, even against the final boss - even the secret mega-final boss, meaning that being able to reroll fleeing is an insane trump card that can win you the entire game provided you have enough gold to essentially bribe your way through every challenging fight. Just some weird design choices. 6/10.

So I got recommended this game by Youtuber Olaxia. Mostly because his choices in the game frustrated me to try it myself. First Run, using the Knight. Won against the Mine Boss, the Big Golem with a satisfying build, tried to run endless mode in the City and got knocked out by the big rats. Fair enough, build wasn't as optimal. So I tried using the other class as well, (Jack Pott, Leg'allin, and the Wizard (forgot the name) And I like the Wizard more than the other Champion. Jack Pott's primary attacks uses tomatos, so you have to beat the enemies in as fewer turns as possible, tried him multiple times. Leg'allin's still uncharted waters for me, have to try a few runs with her. But of all the Champion the Wizards got me close to beating two bosses before I got kicked in the City again. All this to say, I honestly feel like the 2 out of 3 champion you unlock are relatively weak to make a build out of. Their foundation is a little hard without money (which I quickly ran out of re-rolling often) and the time it works I didn't get enough time to get a feel. Maybe I need to more time, get gud as they say. Though I personally would like some meta-progression added, Like a skill tree for the respective classes that adds some more slots, a different attack move, just unlocks so starting a run feels smooth. And also Workshop support. This game's wide range of arsenal and enemies would fit a mod support type game. Anyways, great Godot game, super fun so far.
