Fantastic game!
Fantastic game with great art and design and lots of depth in the mechanics. If you like games like Slay the Spire, Wildfrost, and Monster Train, you will absolutely love this game, it's an instant hit for me!

A Fun Yet Challenging Deckbuilder
I don't play many roguelike or roguelite deckbuilder games, but I have to say that this game has got to be one of the best amongst them. There are so many cards to choose from, and each mech (there are three) is equipped with their own different unique sets of cards. You unlock more cards as you level up (you gain exp after every run, doesn't matter if you win or lose), and so far I've quite enjoyed the different varieties that each card brings to your every run, how with enough practice, you eventually not only get used to how each card works, but you also get to discover different new card combinations that work for each situation you face. You might even develop favorites! The enemies and the bosses are also pretty diverse. And I also find the bosses quite stressful to beat, but still fair. Ofc, knowing that this is a roguelike or roguelite (Yes, I don't know how to differentiate between the two lol), you're not expected to win on your first try. It took me many many attempts just to unlock the third difficulty (Apocalypse if I remember correctly) and the second mech. That being said, if you don't enjoy failing too much, then get this game during a sale, or maybe skip it entirely. But if it's not a problem for you, then I really recommend you checking this game out. Just know that getting to unlock everything in this game really takes a lot of tries and patience, as some of the unlocking requirements can be quite strict (hence why it's a roguelike or roguelite in the first place, you're meant to try again. It's not impossible). And I also love the anime artstyle and music! The soundtracks are worth getting!

Excellent Roguelike
A fun, polished roguelike that combines bits and pieces from preceeding games from the genre such as Into the Breach and Slay the Spire. I simply wish the developers had the $5 supporter / cosmetic DLC on GOG too.

Instantly fell in love
Saw people compare it to slay the spire, which I'm a huge fan of. Instantly fell in love after the first time playing, an amazing roguelike deckbuilder on par with the best out there, buy it now!
