It truly is a fun game, first time playing it I didn't like it at all. After getting the hang of it, I can honestly say it has unlimited replayability. All classes add complexity and force you to adapt to their specific playstyle. 10/10 game, congrats to everyone involved in this game, I am definitely a fan! I am waiting for a bigger discount on Monster Train 2 (cause I am cheapskate :D), but I will buy the game without a doubt...once I finish all achievements and all this marvelous game has to offer. keep up the awesome work!
It is good, a lot of variety and replayability. I highly recommend it if you are sort of tired of 'classical' rogulike deckbuilders - the idea itself feels fresher. Despite it working sometimes poorly on Steam Deck, I still rate it high. The Monster Train 2 is working much better on the deck though.
One of my favorites! This a perfect game for "multi-tasking" while working from home! You can stop and walk away or answer a call. You don't need audio for it and it works great with just a mouse! Beyond that, it is a lot of fun! Great strategy game with different themes that combine in interesting ways! As mentioned above, it is easy to drop in and out of and is enjoyable whether early in the game and still earning new cards or later on when you are collecting victories, increasing the difficulty and playing daily challenges. I could not recommend it enough!
