Every turn is a puzzle, "how much damage can I deal while taking as little as possible in return?" and I love it! Add in the great art style and enjoyable deckbuilding and this is a game I will keep coming back to again and again.

Fun game , Picked up during a sale for 5 bucks. A nice take on a deck building tactics game. Cant see myself putting 200 hrs into this but its worth a play if you're bored and on a budget

great game. a puzzle game, using deckbuilding to give you your fighting moves. lots of puzzle fun, and replayability, due to the various cards.

More nuanced than it would appear at first blush, there are tons of cards to earn in what feels like a solo player's D&D battle with cards in place of spells a la Slay the Spire. The deep strategy of XCOM-like turn-based action makes for satisfying gun-fu and hand-to-hand combat. While the replays look a little clunky (I think it would be improved with a 1.5x view speed), the animation style is cool and has a lot of flair. I'll definitely get my money's worth with how much replay value the roguelike mechanics enhance the experience.

Interesting experience, my first run was my final run (I did a complete run in 5 hours). I liked how my deck was made, after I finished I didn't really feel like seeing the other cards and was happy with having won. The gameplay was fun, I think the story and the minimalist maps (and same rotation of maps) made the run feel sameyish after awhile. Weird Recommend

Nice little rogue like deck builder game with a satisfying dash of violence.

Very slick combat system. When it works, it works well and is extraordinarily addictive. Annoyances range from major to minor. The random chance card system coupled with some extremely broken enemy types often leaves you in a no-win situation, especially in later levels.

We need to talk about the music. The trailer above only shows a few songs! I didn't realize I needed a nightclub fight theme song in my life, but WOW did I. It multiplies the intensity of the action in every encounter by 100. Good job, nearvous_testpilot (the producer).

One of the best deck-builders / tactics games out there. Pros: + The combat mechanics. Rooms are not meant to be brute-forced; one has to cleverly move around, hit and go, manipulate the enemies against each other and use the environment to one's advantage in order to be successful. Those who fail to grasp this concept are quickly handed their asses to them (and then they complain about how they only deal 5 damage against four or more 40+ health enemies in a claustrophobic room... /smh) + Great looking, minimalist, clean environment art + Color-coded enemies and icons make it very easy to read rooms and developing strategies to beat them + Fluid character animations. The movement, the punches and the brutal finishes are all excellent + Clean UI and excellent UX overall Cons: - The character art. There is minimalism and then there's too much minimalism, i.e. not enough details on the player character and enemies. The devs seem to be aware of this shortcoming and have already fixed this aspect in the new KiTS game
