HELLCARD Reviews

Well, for any Slay the Spire fan, this is the less interesting version, but coop. Combat is quite simple and boring and the fighting with 3 decks against many enemies does not really make it much better. Deck building feels much less fun and rewarding than in other deck builders. After winning a couple runs, the motivation to touch this game again goes towards 0.

8.5/10 - Great game. This Is Balatro levels of good. Up to 3 Co-op. This game needs to be known about so I can queue with randoms faster.

Finally a coop Slay The Spire like game!!! Very good job , nice balances, nice build variants!

This game is incredible, I see people saying the game isn't balanced right for two players but my friend and I made it to the end on every single run we played and even won one. And we were both playing mage on the one we won. Team composition doesn't seem as important as synergy between each other's builds. We were constantly moving bad guys around and detonating bombs to stun and hurt them. I can't recommend this game more than enough. It's challenging, has 5 classes, and a lot of rewards. It is basically co op slay the spire with more tactical combat.

Not for me. It's not a bad game by any means, I actually do recommend it if you're a diehard StS fan, but for me, it's too much like it to justify paying £20 for.

Superb co-op card battler Only wish would be for better support when playing as only two players Having the game not be super popular makes the best way to play be pre-made lobbies

Would not recommend as a single player experience. The pace is to slow and the mechanics by which you can empower your character are more frustrating than fun. Not sure how it would be as a co-op / multiplayer experience though. I didn't give that a try.

Awesome fun! You really have to think about your moves. The art style is great! The devs have done a great job with this game.

Basically Co-op Slay the Spire or if playing solo Slay the spire with 3 characters to create some crazy synergies with! For any Slay the Spire Fans Hellcard will feel very familiar. From deck building, artifacts, unlocks, card upgrades, modifiers, level climbing, boss battles with unique enemy gimmicks, to ascensions. Hellcard for solo players can seem intense at first. managing up to 3 decks and different characters/classes was a learning curve at first, but once you play around with the different cards you start to create some effective combos. I've seen some comments on how unfriendly this game is for solo play and I would strongly disagree. Instead of focusing on just one character build you get three to help ease the burden. Each character on your team can acquire items, new cards, and upgrades. Hellcard has some unique mechanics making it stand out. Rewards from each encounter are like slay the spire, but you also get a chance to spend gems which you'll collect from battles and such on different helpful options (heal, chance to gain more gems, card upgrades, and much more).

I really love the idea, but the content for a singleplayer gameplay is too low, will try again when I can convince some nerds to play with me Fun but the requirements to enjoy the game as it's worth is too high. - the main selling point is its a party coop game, beside that the game offers low replayability with around 1:20 hours minimum per session, which is really long - online matchmaking is dead, meaning we need exactly a party of 3 for a balanced gameplay - even when on sale, the price is too high when there are so many better singleplayer alternatives
