Meteorfall: Journeys

About this game

Meteorfall is a deck-building roguelike. You'll choose your class from one of four unique adventurers, and then set out with a deck consisting of some basic attack cards. During the course of your adventure, you'll be presented with the opportunity to add powerful new cards to your deck.

No adventure would be complete without slaying a few monsters that get in your way. In battle, you'll draw cards from your ability deck. Each time you draw a card, you'll be able to swipe right to play the card, or swipe left to skip a turn and regain some stamina.

Between battles, you'll venture through a variety of locations, represented by an encounter deck. You'll encounter blacksmiths that can upgrade your cards, temples that can help you optimize your deck, and mysterious characters that will make you all sorts of bargains.

The tactical strategy of combat micro-decisions mixed with the strategic element of deck-building provides a compelling and deep gameplay experience.

As with all roguelikes, death is permanent. You'll earn some gems that you can use to unlock new cards, but it's back to the drawing board after that. Start out with a new adventurer and set out on your quest once again.

The good news is that Meteorfall is different every time you play - you'll encounter different locations, different enemies, and different quests. Part of the challenge is adapting to the challenging situations the game puts you in, given the cards available.

Good luck hero - it's time to end the Uberlich's cycle of destruction!

Ratings and reviews

I absolutely love it. Such beautiful artwork. All around it is fun to play. I would like the games to last longer, but maybe I just need to better my skill. I think a 2 player vs. feature would be dope af but I dont know how hard that is to do. I wanted to let you know I am experiencing the same bug in regards to the recap screen. A work around is to click on the character and quit the game. Then the next time you click start it will ask you to restart your old game.

Super addictive and charming little deck builder. The game becomes more and more fun over time as you figure out better combos and overcome things that previously seemed impossible (with a little/lot of luck in some cases). And absolutely zero purchasables or pay-to-win elements. A bit of a rant on difficulty: My only complaint with this game is I've run into a wall with a few of the classes on the higher "demon difficulties" (various hard mode monster buffs). I think some classes rely on what feels like less than a five percent chance of overall lucky RNG to survive up to the boss. A big part of this reason is several enemy types can randomly chain cast their entire decks and completely one-shot *any possible build* of your character at any stage of the game. Of course part of the fun of the game, and deck builders and roguelikes in general, is to learn to play in such a way to mitigate these odds, but in this game it can feel really bad when it happens. And I don't feel particularly skillful when i have to reroll something a dozen times just to finally roll the couple items required to survive. I think these difficulties can use another few balance passes to prevent the one-shottiness feel, particularly for classes that don't really have a way to stack armor or similar defenses early on. Also a note for the developer - it would be cool to have some more stuff to unlock or achieve with all those coins!

Fun game. Some characters are completely unbalanced though. It absolutely sucks building up a great deck with some characters and the first boss drops 35 damage on you in one round. Love the game with some of the characters but eventually I'll move on because you shouldn't have to play through 40 games with one character and have pretty much no chance at winning. It's not challenging. It's a turn off.
