Absolutely topnotch Deckbuilder. If you're a fan of Slay the Spire, Into the Breach or anything even remotely close, you really just need to get this now. No excuses!
Everything about it is polished, slick, tactical and it just oozes personality, charm and depth. Extremely high replayability. It's a full package game for a fair price, and the developers seem to be engaged and updating it with new features and bug-fixes.
Excited to try this out on my Steam Deck soon. It has "just one more run!" feeling.

Super satisfying positioning-focused combat reminiscent of Into The Breach, with a fun soundtrack to boot!
The game does a good job at keeping things fresh between runs- new cards can be unlocked with excess funds in the shop, stages can have random modifiers, alternate bosses appear with each successful run, and new gameplay systems like packs are only introduced as higher difficulties are beaten.
The roster of characters offer pretty diverse playstyles, and both the cards and artifacts are powerful, drastically changing how you play through the game. Many runs can be dependent on luck, which can feel frustrating sometimes, but also means you can sometimes get overpowered early and breeze through to the end.
Overall, I recommend this game if you're a fan of both deckbuilder roguelikes and tactical turn-based combat.

This game plays great on the steam deck. If you want a longer battery life while still maintaining 60fps set the TDP to 7-8W in the steam deck settings.
The gameplay is very fun, fluid, and intuitive. A great mix of alien invaders and card battling. My favorite part is are the 3 different classes and each one of them has a unique playstyle that feels great to play. Every class has their own deck and can be modified with skills packs before the game starts to see which cards you wil get throughout the run.
The game has great replayability due to the variety of skills and heroes within each class.
Definitely pick this up if you're a rogulike deck building fan.

One of the best Roguelike Deckbuilders out there. It's literally taking the idea of Space Invaders and making everything turn based with crazy amount of combos you can do in a turn.
It's just as good as the reviews say. Solid gameplay and addicting core loop with plenty of unlocks.
Easy 10/10

An incredibly deep game that guides you into building and understanding synergies that feel so good to play but is also able to create variance and difficulty that let it continue to challenge and surprise 100 hours in

Very enjoyable. It's kind of a mix between into the breach and Slay the Spire. If you enjoyed either of those, I'd give it a go

A very nice game with some pretty unique gameplay, but at times (and very often on higher difficulties) it just doesn't give the player enough breathing room. It desperately needs some kind of a background system that tracks the amount of enemies and threats that come at you and tones them down to actually make them manageable. I've died countless times to situations where no matter what I do, no matter how much reset tokens I spend, I just lose no matter what because the sheer amount of enemies is just too much to handle.
This problem is very closely tied to another - certain builds get completely countered by certain encounters and enemies.
A good example of this issue is the Grandmaster bossfight. I understand that it is supposed to reflect and imitate chess, but more often than not, a situation occurs where a singular rook stands behind the Grandmaster, turning him invincible. I won't delve too deep into why this is a bad representation of chess (A king protecting a rook?...), but the main issue is that certain builds and characters can do NOTHING to effectively counter it. Cards that can damage an enemy from behind are very scarce, and most of the time I just end up losing to the rook/king couple because I HAVE NO WAY TO DAMAGE THE ROOK.
If the aforementioned bossfight issues and the lack of a background enemy director are fixed, this game will shine. But right now, the issues are too frustrating to handle, rendering the game a lot less enjoyable and fun than it could be.
