What players think
The recurring themes across 73 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
There are three different characters you can play that each have their own card pools: A bruiser with basic mechanics; an enchanter whose unique twist is the "influence" mechanic, that permanently reduces health bars, cannot be removed or healed by monsters, and bypasses shields; and an archer whose "shock" mechanic is a damaging debuff that starts at a counter number (say 3) and then every time you gather resources from the board, it fires off once damaging the creature for the amount of chock they have and reduces the shock counter on them by one.
TL;DR This is an enjoyable enough deckbuilder with a twist of chaining items on a board for resources, but with a direct competitor like Across the Obelisk out there, the slower pace of runs, the less innovative map design, lack of character progression, and anemic storylines, you will get the most enjoyment if you prefer the revealed mechanics of new cards and items that happen after multiple runs in the game.
As many people have stated before in reviews, this is not the same as match-3 mechanics, so while the grid may make you think it will play like the match-3 combat mechanics of older games like Puzzlequest, this is a different beast altogether.
