I would love to just love this game as i enjoyed thronebreaker very much am a huge fan of the witcher and rogelite/roguelikes. On top of that the voice acting and artwork are absolutely fantastic. It is very sad though that the game as some problems that really break the fun for me long term. The biggest one is deck variety. You only have 4 starting decks and cannot really adjust/improve them from the start. Most of your roguelike power progress is in the form of unlocking card drops, spells and trinkets. On top of that the runs really arent long enough or have enough card drops where you'll ever feel like you've built something very neat. To rub salt in the wound most enemies have super elaborate decks where goddamn everything synergizes. But all you can do is watch in awe and try to make up for it by spamming magic. Super unsatisfying, dangling the unachievable in front of you while letting you play with a mediocre deck which you'll stuff with singular powerful cards if youre lucky. But its very, very rare youll actually get a coherent deck going. The next big thing is the enemy ALWAYS gets the last turn. You cannot counter what he wil do last and only calculate for it to some degree. Ive had so many runs end by the enemy just pulling some op card out of their ass last turn and turning over a 50+ point lead. Extremely frustrating. The enemies position also are absolutely random it seems. Often times i get someone as a second enemy that i really just cannot handle with the base deck making the run end then and there. And to come back to my first point some enemies are just incredibly frustrating to play against. Worst offender is the High preator for me. This guy starting units, power and artifacts are so stupidly obnoxious its almost impossible to travers. no matter what you do you get punished hard. And once again All of his stuff has ridicoulus syngergy. I feel like this could be an amazing game if the problems where adressed.
