Art Style: Very unique especially for games in the Roguelike or Balatrolike gameplay it feels fresh and looks clean nothing feels like its fighting for your eye or look too similar to eachother unlike balatro IMO (some jokers look very very similar) 8/10
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
6 of 175 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty: For people looking for an easy game as of right now this requires some knowledge of Slot Machine Roguelikes BUT with that said its a great curve the beginning is very easy the ending is very hard with alot of ways to remedy that fact the whole time 8/10
