Gameplay

19 of 32 sampled reviews raised it
This adds an interesting gameplay layer, being able to add or remove cards (subject to availability and affordability) during combat is a really unique touch!
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
9 of 32 sampled reviews raised it
Borrows heavily from Slay the Spire, but introduces several novel character concepts, like two-character team, two energy currencies, and companion (item) builds.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
5 of 32 sampled reviews raised it
Neat thing about them tho, they each have their own unique difficulty modifiers that can be unlocked and applied.
