Sultan's Game

"Beat" the game for the first time (By managing to destroy all the cards and survive) so I figured I would give it my review. The gameplay loop is pretty simplistic but addictive if you allow yourself to get immersed in checking out all the different consequences what each card will do in a given scenario. If you like "card based resource management" games this will definitely scratch that itch. After dying early so many times though and seeing what a lot of the early gameplay loop has to offer, I have to wonder if this game will wear out its welcome by becoming more redundant the longer you play past your first couple victories. You have to be really interested in the story and what the meta-progression offers if you want to get value beyond that, especially for the price. I found quite a bit of enjoyment personally, though I did start to just quickly skip a lot of the repetitive narrative beats after a while (tap-tap-tap, click-click-click). I will say, this game has at least ignited in interest in card resource management based games that I didn't even know I had, which means I'll likely be checking out games like Cultist Simulator and whatever expansions and mods this game has to offer in the future.
