The game has a "fun" mechanic where you'r winning "team" is the boss of the next run and honestly it's just too hard. it's way too easy to loose and you never really get a chance to feel powerful like most rouge-likes. It's cute, well made, and just a little too punishing.

Heavily reliant on getting synergies going rather than skilling through an encounter. Enemy timers are globally much shorter than most player cards meaning your ability to stall or burst is hindered simply by not having enough going into an encounter. Great art, ok music with 3 loops and lack of real control of your deck makes this a weaker entry is the genre. 6/10

150h for all 27 achievement. 100% Worth it. 10/10 I've played a LOT of deckbuilding roguelike and this is by far my favorite. The level of customisation you can achieve with the charms is amazing. The art style and effects are nice and the music is fun too. Ennemies can get repetitive but even after 150h I still get surprised. Plus, at higher difficulties, ennemies also haved charms that modify them.

Pros: - very deep combat system that rewards the player for paying attention and taking their time - while possible, does not require the "stack numbers as high as you can" to succeed like many other games of the genre - because it's a low numbers game, almost all strategy and builds are viable even on the highest difficulties Cons: - a bit too punishing, even for a rogue-like. A single mistake will cost you the entire run (there is no take a bad penalty/lose health when a fight is going bad, you just die) - almost no reward/punishment for doing well or badly in a fight - runs are too short, the deckbuilding/strategy part of a rogue-like is a bit lacking and you sorta have to lock in your strat early and just stick to it. - NO RUN HISTORY/SEEDED RUNS!? This is the part that is just baffling to me, not being able to review your runs afterwards or re-trying some runs is kinda dumb, it feels like core part of the genre Overall, I like the game, very deep system that rewards forward planning during the fight, also it's very cozy and charming vibes. But it really demands you to pay a lot of attention and is too punishing for the wrong reason. I wish there was a damage indicator system or at least some sort of warning when your leader will take damage, some runs just die because I overlooked one tiny thing. I also wish the deck building part was more fleshed out. But usually you just find 2-3 things that you set to deploy on turn 0 of a fight and just let it run by itself

全実績達成したのでレビューを書きます。 スレスパをやっていて「敵の攻撃を移動で回避できないかなぁ」と思っていたことを、ユニットカードを手番を消費せず前後上下に自由に移動できることで可能にしたローグライクデッキ構築、というのが第一印象です。 正確に言うと回避ではなく他のユニットに代わりに攻撃を受けさせることですが、HPが高いユニットを基本的に壁にしたり、1ダメージならHPが低いユニットで1回だけ受けたりと、手札を使う以外に戦略性があって楽しかった。 だからこそ、真ラスボスは要素を否定してきて嫌だなと思いつつも、一度配置したユニットをデッキに待機させてもう一度配置させることで場所を変えたり、列が3つ埋まっている状態で追加でユニットを配置しようとすると元のユニットが上にズレることを利用して、なんとか真ラスボスを撃破しました。 惜しい点としては、1周をクリアすると次の周以降ではクリアしたデッキがラスボスになる所を挙げる。 ストーリー的には納得しているし毎回攻略方法が違うという面白さでもあるが、プレイしていてユニットをお守りで強化する時に「次の周でこのユニットを突破するのに苦労しそうだから、強化を控えた方がいいかな？」と考えてしまうことにつながった。

It’s not a bad game. But i didn’t find it as fun as other card rogue likes

The incredible level of visual polish kept me going for a bit, but mechanically it feels like it's missing something. Losses feel unfair more often than not as you get bad rolls on characters and enemy types. Sometimes it feels like the game is counter-picking your strategy with enemy groups your team has no chance against despite being prepared for nearly every other battle. Other times an enemy will apply a debuff that has a teammate randomly targeting your main unit and ending the run instantly. Also, unlocks take tons of grinding only to reveal a character or card that is incredibly conditional or worse than everything you've unlocked already. Picking any four of the pets I've unlocked other than the healer is nearly a guaranteed failed run.
