Above average, but not recommendable
A mostly competently executed card-management combat-RPG in the Steamworld astetic. Positives : - Like all Steamworld games, the world and characters look great. The sentient junkyard mystique really hums. - Your deck is eight cards for each of three characters. Weak cards grant a metacurrency that strong cards consume. It's fun balancing the risk of not having enough metacurrency vs not being strong enough or giving one character basic moves so another gets their specials. - Elements that complicate the game are introduced thematically and over the first few levels, not too slow but with plenty of time to grok. Negatives : - Pacing. Moment-to-moment game speed is ..tolerable.. if you hold the fast forward button through the whole game. - Pacing. It is an RPG with levels, where your XP-per-battle goes from ~1/3 a level's worth to ~1/50th a level's worth once you're "par" for the environment/stage. At that point you'll reliably win fights, but you're not quickly wiping the floor with the enemies, so the already slow battles become slogs. - PACING! The button to skip a cutscene, doesn't. It cuts character text until the next movement or effect, but then resumes character text. So it takes what feels like a minute of clicking the Skip button to actually get to the end of cutscenes you've already seen. - Nash-esque deck builds. When you've found a deck that works, it's pretty reliable, and the game becomes waiting through predictable combats over and over and over. You *CAN* 'find your fun' and try out different builds to see what is broke and what isn't, but since buying and upgrading cards costs currency you're kind of on a path unless you want to grind ~even more~. - Plot's a bit aimless. Exposition, A to B, find clue for C. Exposition, B to C, find clue for D. I quit a few hours in, halfway through Act 2. You might enjoy it more than I did though, if you don't mind a somewhat slow, low-difficulty grind.
