Summary
In an era where espionage is handled largely by data-packets being pored over by teams of analysts, Section Eleven’s approach is more hands-on, dealing with the sorts of criminal organizations who live and operate outside the realms of electronic communication. When the rest of the intelligence services have failed, they call Section Eleven.
As a Section Eleven agent, it is your job to find direct solutions to emerging threats… largely by smashing people’s faces into things.

Fights in Tight Spaces is undeniably fun and stylish to boot. Building your deck each run and learning to adapt keeps the game fresh. The missions offer a little bit of variety as well if you can be asked to do more than just punching dudes in increasingly flashy ways. The only major downside is that the final boss is far too difficult and dependent on luck. Classic Plus should be the only difficulty you choose, and solely for the reason of not wasting hours of progress only to get to the ending and losing because of random card pulls mixed with random enemy spawns.
If you cam get this game on sale I'd say it's worth it for sure, but be prepared to pull your hair out on higher difficulties after spending hours on a run only to have it come to a rather cheap and anticlimactic end.
With the aesthetics of SuperHot, the tactical planning of Into The Breach, tight deckbuilding elements that leave the player feeling constantly better equiped while simultaneously not being able to get everything they want to ensure future perfect play, and a soundtrack that is both simple and somehow doesn't get old after twenty plus hours of play, Fights In Tight Spaces is a no kidding masterpiece.
The plot's very wink-wink-nudge-nudge, a shiny gloss over the gameplay that doesn't take itself seriously. The pacing is nearly perfect - you're never more than maybe three seconds from making a decision, and if you hold the space bar to fast forward you can breeze through even the minor moments of delay.
A game like this mostly succeeds or fails on it's balance, and this one succeeds beautifully. I've beat it with most of the default decks already, and the ones I haven't won with I've failed by virtue of my own errors. Luck *is* a factor, but a surprisingly small one for a game designed around card draws. Nearly every single time you lose you'll be able to look at the board on the last turn and identify where you went wrong - the step you should (not) have taken last turn, the way you failed to balance your cards with your 'momentum' (the currency you spend to play said cards). A range of difficulty options let you pick a level that fits your confidence, and the plotless "Endless" mode is a nice alternative where doom is assured but you can get surprisingly far with good adaptability and a small bit of luck.
I usually intend to play about an hour a session, but it has a way of One More Round-ing you for up to around two and a half hours.
It does the Tactical / Strategic cycle thing well.
Tactically : Which of my cards do I play this round, and in which order, to avoid damage / maximize damage / secure better positioning?
Strategically : What route do I take to the Big Bad, maximizing my rewards for the playstyle I'm going for this time around while not biting off more than I can chew. How do I convert those rewards into a better deck - more cards, less cards, better cards, (..etc..)?
I got this on sale, but it's probably worth full price. At around a bug-free 20 hours, I've really enjoyed my time with it, and am unlikely to uninstall it any time soon. The developers get auto-buys from me going forward, as long as they can keep up this level of depth and polish.
Love it, this plays a lot smoother than a lot of card games, the animations are smooth and clear. You end up doing some crazy combos when you get the right cards and you "click" with the card system :)
Definitely worth playing.
Just needs more polish.
The potential rewards for fights should be able to be viewed in detail before choosing to fight it.
Just a symbol is not enough.
Cards that have discard are not intuitive. You press it once and it does not activate. You do learn after the first time, but there's no benefit for that small frustration.
Even if we don't have what is needed to play a card that's in our hand, it would be still nice to see the result if we could use it.
Not really related to polish and more of an subjective opinion, but the music starts to feel repetitive pretty fast. Could be just an subjective opinion but the default music volume is too loud.
It would also be nice to be able to see the full body of the 3 potential player character skins. I did not expect the middle one to have heels, for example.
The ability to modify your own character from different parts could be fun. Maybe even giving you cosmetic rewards for playing.
Vault could maybe use a buff of some sorts. Or maybe the levels themselves should have more vaultable obstacles.
Despite taking the incredibly satisfying 'tactical repositioning combat' of Into the Breach and slapping a deckbuilding roguelite on top, Fights in Tight Spaces feels like it's missing something.
Double digit damage and health numbers, as well as similar-looking enemies with lots of different abilities can make each combat round feel overly complex. The information is all there, but you have to pay very close attention and do a fair bit of arithmetic to find the optimal turn. A single mistake can cost you dearly, and with a full run easily taking 4 hours, this can feel quite punishing.
It also suffers from common deckbuilding problems such as having too many useless cards, and some builds being way underpowered compared to others.
The presentation looks neat but feels lacking in effort. Enemies are just 3D-models that will ragdoll when defeated, which contrasts heavily with the stylish simplicity of the art direction. The theme comes through however and manages to deliver the feel of a secret agent engaging with hired goons in bare fisticuffs.
Overall the game is a decent timekiller, but personally I'd much rather play Into the Breach.
