The card upgrade mechanics remind me of how Monster Train handle their upgrades, where you can replace a low-rarity card for one of 3 options of the next highest rarity that modify the formula of the base card.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

There are many cards and trinkets, well developed for each of the 4 main and +1 via DLC hero archetypes, and each of those have multiple viable build themes.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

HELLCARD is another roguelike deckbuilder that has some cute graphics to it in that everything looks like it is from a pop-up book or perhaps created from papier-mâché.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you have appetite for fully turn-based party combat meshed with deck and tableau building, this is a rare combination of those things and delivers it exceptionally well.
