Gameplay

70 of 165 sampled reviews raised it
TL:DR - Excellent deckbuilding-roguelite with a very unique approach to combat and the standard yet satisfying roguelite meta-progression one anticipates in the genre.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
26 of 165 sampled reviews raised it
With it's interesting and well-done grimdark art style, it's competent UI/tutorialization, it's solid meta-progression and uniqueness to each run, and most importantly it's very unique approach to combat which adds depth to the strategic decision making that you don't find in many standard deckbuilding rougelites, this game is definitely a must experience for those in love with the genre.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
13 of 165 sampled reviews raised it
Love that it has the great deck building feel and that the combat is more of a thought provoking puzzle rather than the typical RNG card battler.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 165 sampled reviews raised it
That being said the rest of the game works great, the art is cool, and the sound effects and music are good.
