Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I strongly appreciate that this game’s per-run progression is heavily altered from the typical Slay the Spire map feel that’s becoming a little too pervasive.
69 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Completing a run unlocks more characters, granting rerolls and the ability to pick out a single captain you want to play the most, or you could do what I do, pick a number between 1-3 and reroll, choosing a higher difficulty.

The writing in these segments is humorous and sometimes surreal, which complements the quirky tone of the game’s art style and worldbuilding.
