Ratings and reviews

Decent game but needs polish and balance. I crashed a couple times while playing and I think it was because you can still select things from the back ground while a deck list is up. Balance is also a pretty big issue there are several times a regular mob can one-shot you and you can't do anything to stop it, and several mobs have needless annoyances like a daze of 3 and an automatic evade of the first attack which just stretches an already long game loop even longer and really kills the fun.

I love this game for the most part but a few flaws are causing me to not give it a 5 star review, I seem to randomly take damage that the enemy doesnt normally do and suddenly I took 30 or so damage. sometimes can't see the cards that they use for some reason and no explanation. The burning of cards from enemies goes by far too fast it seems, I sometimes barely catch the picture of the card. The Sunforge is another one that throws a stun out of nowhere.

An ambitious and fun deckbuilder that might suffer from bloat. Each of the six classes has numerous choices for its starting cards and unique power, leading to a sprawling glossary of mechanics and keywords. The problem is that some starting sets are powerful right out of the box, while others (especially the ones centered around funky keywords) are entirely reliant on RNG to be viable. Weighted RNG on drafted cards would fix this, but I'm sure it would be a nightmare to implement.
