Tainted Grail: Conquest

Si te gustan los juegos de cartas por turnos, este es tu juego. 100% adictivo, no se me hace repetitivo y la dificultad está muy bien equilibrada.

Picked up the game on sale. Wasn't expecting much as I played a bunch of deck builders in the wave after StS's success and only the best really stood out. Tainted grail always looked a little bloated to match the elegance of the best, but I've been very pleasantly surprised. Sure there is some bloat with the number of classes and the different systems / currencies around the NPCs you bring back to camp, but it's surprisingly well paced once you start to unlock a few things [which happens naturally through exploration] and the voice acting, writing and atmosphere really raises this game to another level and made the slightly slower pace at the start a real pleasure to play through. The balance of some classes and passive abilities does look a little funky, so I'm not sure if it will have the depth to sink hundreds of hours into [I'll leave an update if I'm wrong about this], but it's got a lot of style and charm and there's a lot of characters to mess around with and what it does offer is very nicely done.

This game has a lot of good points but if you're looking for another Slay The Spire then you might be out of luck, I've played more than 2,400 hours of StS so I think it's fair to say that I've had my money's worth. Steam seemed to be telling me that Tainted Grail was the same sort of game but I don't really agree. They both involve building a deck of cards which you use in fights, but that's about it. StS has virtually no story whereas Tainted Grail is very much a RPG and has oodles of story. Love the fact that it uses English accents, rather than the ubiquitous American accents. StS offers loads of question mark rooms (?) where you don't know what's in them. It might be another fight but it probably won't be. Those ? rooms are probably what makes StS so addictive for me, along with a daily challenge where you compare your score against other players around the world. Tainted Grail hasn't had that addictive quality for me, so far at least. You're walking around the map, battling enemies and sometimes getting some sort of reward, but not always. That quickly became quite repetitive for me, always battling enemies, so I've only ended up accumulating 6 hours of play so far. This is an enormously complex game, which is a good thing from my point of view and could potentially make for long-term satisfaction if I could master some of that complexity, but I am finding it a little repetitive. If you enjoy RPGs then this game has a lot to offer. I can't see myself investing in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon with the way that I'm feeling at the moment, but anything's possible and only time will tell.

I'm mitigated. I think for the price it's definitely worth it (i had it discounted for around 6$), but my experience was that the grind is VERY slow. After a dozen runs, I only beat the golem (first boss) twice, and only with the summoner, and only got 2-3 permanent upgrades that are next to insignificant. I can see this going on eternally. I had over half the classes unlocked but again, only the summoner mitigated damage in any reliable way and has a passive that heals. Bumped healing potions from 25 to 35hp per heal, and a few tiny tidbits. Overall, great setting, great concept imo But the grind is just insane. I am not interested in playing run after run just for the sake of it. It's not for me. If every run unlocked a REAL improvement (or close to), it would be a different story. But it doesn't. It really doesn't. Every NPC unlocked potentially allows you to buy permanent improvements, and the grind (resources) those cost, is insane early game. Not the game for me. I dont have 400 hours to sink into this. After 7 hours of gameplay, I have next to nothing to show for it. Maybe I missed something. I'm sure someone somewhere will yell at the top of their voice in some man child manner : Git Guuuud. And that's fine. I'll pass. I'll move on to a game that entertains me more. But again, for the price, I think its solid.
