A very close replica of Slay the Spire, NEOVERSE is intended to be a card game with an Asian sci-fi aesthetic. As such, the game is very inelegant, not to mention the silly hypersexualisation of the characters. Nonetheless, the game system makes some sense and is quite rewarding. Unlike its counterpart, it feels more accessible thanks to powerful skills that can be acquired during the game. Basically, a fan of the genre will not be disoriented, as it is a question of applying strategies already seen: it will be necessary to specialise in a type of attack and to find the right number of cards in order to have a suitable rotation of the deck. Deck construction is rather pleasant and the multiple upgrade possibilities make the task easier. Finally, it is difficult to find what to say about NEOVERSE in its gameplay, as it draws from a genre that is particularly popular today. The aesthetics are not very pleasing to the retina and the music is better left muted, making the experience at best forgettable.
