Just pick it up... I mean now... This is a masterclass in coop card game design.

Its like slay the spire but a little worse

Provavelmente um dos melhores jogos do gênero, joguei várias e várias horas sozinho e com amigos e ainda comprei todas as DLCs, o jogo tem bastante conteúdo e uma progressão bem satisfatória, ele permite criar várias e várias builds combinando 4 personagens diferentes entre 4 classes: mago, arqueiro/assassino, curandeiro e guerreiro, só que ele não te limita, eu já joguei e consegui ganhar com um time de 4 curandeiros o que foi muito divertido. Pretendo pegar todas as conquistas algum dia copium.

All decks are so similar it kills my enjoyment
Also each run is like 7 hours long

Trying out different party compositions and builds and the like is very fun and probably the core selling point of the game. Sets itself apart from other card-based roguelites by 1. giving you 4 characters, and 2. giving you massive control over what winds up in their decks (in adventure mode, anyway), so you can deckbuild super freely. To that end, there's a lot to experiment with and a lot of fun to be had if you like the genre, but the core design and balance is just not on the level of slay the spire or others. Also, the last world takes way too long to get through and turns the end of most runs into a chore, especially if you have a good run going and winning is practically a foregone conclusion.

Played during the free weekend that the game had and honestly I really enjoyed it. Perhaps it was the co-op aspect but it was fun strategizing with my sister and trying to puzzle out the best way to tackle a combat encounter.

Las I heard, it wasn't the most mechanically in-depth of games but I definitely want to pick this game up when it goes on sale
