Anybody else try this game? Its in Steam early access, and I am having a blast with it. It is a rogue-like deck building combat game. There are some really fun synergies, but some aren't so obvious, which adds a layer of challenge. Enemy variety is good and some of their skills can counter what you are trying to do.

This game is slowly becoming my unexpected game of the year. Been a while since I played a game that gave me this "one more game" feeling so often.

Heard great review of this on Gamers With Jobs Podcast. Downloaded it but haven't tried it yet. Might be my project for the week.

It's pretty fun and challenging. Took me 6 tries to beat it for the first time with the Ironclad.

It can be really tough to get a run going, but once you do it's pretty fun to build a deck with enough synergies to take you all the way to the end.

Here's the stats screen from that completed run:

I got this on Sunday and it sucked me in for 4 hours right away. Great time-killer. It's a fun mix of luck and skill.

Bumping this as a reminder that this game is on PS Plus free for a few more days. It's a really fun game and I definitely recommend it if you're into roguelikes, deckbuilders, or both.

Absolutely love hate the game. Love it because it's fun. Hate it because I can't beat The Defects' Act 3 boss. My wife got passed it, though, So I'm happy for her.

Here's the stats screen from that completed run: Spoiler There were three keys to this deck - gaining strength through Inflame and a couple other cards and relics, having several multi-hit cards to take full advantage of that strength, and Perfected Strikes boosted by having a large number of Strike cards in the deck. And I had to kind of work it out as I went along through the game. Pummel, for being a 1 energy card, was absolutely invaluable for its 4 hits, since it kept stacking with strength and allowed me to deal out some massive damage. I actually one-shotted the final boss of the run (after it powered up) with 2 of them in a turn. bkrich83 likes this. Last edited by bcruise; 08-05-2018 at 06:48 PM. Reason: Added spoiler tag
