Fun
This game is fun, but there is so much going on in this game that a 2000 character review can only scratch the surface, but I will try. The obvious comparison is comparing this to "Slay the Spire" (StS). Though this game shares some superficial similarities, it is different enough to be its own "thing" and in some ways it is superior in my opinion. The biggest differences is that instead of having only one row for combat, you have 3 rows: enemies spawn on the bottom row and every turn they climb up one row until they reach the "pyre", which is the thing that if destroyed means that you lose. You job is to prevent them from reaching and damaging the pyre - by summoning creatures to fight and casting spells. After a certain number of turns, the "boss" for that level enters combat. Aside from being stronger, their combat phase does not end until either they or your creatures are destroyed. These things add an interesting dynamic to the game where you have to balance preventing trash mobs from reaching the pyre and killing your summons, and building up your strongest creatures for the inevitable boss fight. As for the deck-building aspect, there are 5 clans with their own "theme", lore, set of mechanics and creatures and spells that use those mechanics. You choose two for each run and a champion from your main clan. These choices will dictate your overall strategy and which cards come out of the random draws. Cards can also be modified with upgrades you find along the way. All of these things put together make for some fun experiments. The game doesn't artificially limit you - it pretty much lets you run amok with the mechanics. Also, you can enable mutators that further mess around with the rules. Like I said, there is a lot of stuff going on. Visually the game is good, but the music and audio is really awesome. I also like how they have a little bit of lore for each of the cards. It's a nice touch. I'm out of characters :) It is a good game. Have fun!
