Every story needs a hero. Select from 3 unique characters, each with distinct gameplay mechanics and a powerful set of cards that can be upgraded as you play. Forge powerful card synergies to dominate the narrative.

Every scenario offers additional story twists, adding layers of challenge and replayability.

Use your storybook to dictate the hero's encounters. Modify challenges to your liking – make them easier to progress or increase the stakes for greater rewards.

I've been looking forward to this game for a long time, and I am happy to say it was worth the wait. It's one of the very few deck-building games which caught my attention over the years, as I'm not usually into that genre. Having played the demo, I had a pretty good idea of what to expect, but the full release still exceeded my expectations. Talespinner is an easy game to pick up and play, and rewards creative, thoughtful decision-making both in and outside of combat. The rules of the game are easy to understand and grasp, even for somebody not exactly too familiar with card games and their designs. Each character offers a unique take on the experience, requiring a different kind of considerations - my favourites for now being Himura and Kiri, with their side-swapping and teamwork mechanics. This is a delightful little game. Gorgeous hand-drawn art meets rich Japanese folklore, intriguing card interactions and easy to understand gameplay. If I had one complaint, it'd be about the tutorial popups - while they are undeniably helpful, some of the messages were a little bit confusing to me at first. Maybe it's my lack of experience with deck-building games showing? In the end, Talespinner lends itself just as well to learning by doing, which immediately clears everything up and provides that extra context that I previously missed interacting with the tutorial popups alone. If you're looking for an easy to pick up, but still robust deck-building game, which also happens to be beginner-friendly, I'd recommend it - Talespinner is a good time.

I am having a blast playing Talespinner. It’s a solid deck-building roguelike where you guide your chosen character through different runs and each of the three characters each feel distinct with their own mechanics (Rinka is my fav 🪷!). Building card synergies is satisfying, the narrative choices during each run adds choice variety (chapter options give a positive or negative effect). I love the addition of companions each with their own mechanics. It has enough of its own identity that it doesn’t just feel like another Slay the Spire clone. If you’re into the genre, this one’s worth checking out!
Good game
Great deckbuilder game.. Would benefit from some more content and some minor changes. Also has a few bugs but nothing gamebreaking.. Intresting characters and deckbuilder mechanics - love both Kitsune and the Deadly Duo! Recommended!
日本風を謳うStSライク 敵が妖怪・・・雑魚は鎌鼬や野槌、ボスは女郎蜘蛛や雪女など、見知った妖怪がやってくる 特徴的なのは仲間システム…やはり妖怪のようなものが仲間になり、アクティブスキル等を付与してくれる 狐面のPCが強いが蓮の花の使用忘れには注意 (毎ターンリセットされるので毎ターン使わないと損) テーマとシステムの融合が良く、各敵固有の機能がその妖怪っぽくまとめられていて好感触 全体的によくできておりおすすめできる カード削除の機会が少ないため、圧縮は難しい 消耗品も山札に入りドローする方式のため、取らないほうが良いことも多いし温存もしづらい
在愿望单里4年半了,打磨了这么久以为会很精致,结果内容出奇的少,每个角色也就60多张卡,大部分卡效果也都很重复基本没什么可选的bd。战斗节奏也很奇怪,比如护盾消失的时间点,多段攻击的动画效果,机制触发的反馈感都很差,很多时候根本不知道触发了什么效果。至于伙伴,基本就是废物,稍微带一点正面效果的就要给你负面效果,反正玩了两把一次伙伴都没用过。很多机制也完全没有在游戏里说明清楚,唯一亮点就是怪物造型设计,可能4年研发3年都在画画吧
Deckbuilder with 3 distinct classes that each operate differently with several different build paths. Won't take Slay the Spire out of my rotation, but it is nice to have something to slot in. Gorgeous animation, interesting creatures and boss fights. Worth your time and your cash.
Great fun, amazing graphics. love the mythology theme
Пока что все нравится,для любителей этого жанра должно зайти)
i like the twist in the sts formula, but the ux/animation is very clunky compared to sts
