I got very overwhelmed by this game at first with the amount of stuff going on at once (it didn't help that my decks were a huge mishmash of like 10 different mechanics), but after playing some games and knowing how everything works to the point I can play on the fastest speed without getting lost, it's so addicting and fun.
I haven't played a ton of rogue-likes, so I can't say how it fares in the genre, but compared to the very similar Slay the Spire, I like this one since the beginning of a run gives you 3 randomized cards already, so the start of the game isn't as slow as STS. It also means you're more likely to build around certain deck types depending on what you're given, as opposed to always going for just the "best" one.
5 classes (1 more in the DLC), each with 2 hero cards + starter cards, being able to use 2 classes per run, many different mechanics to try and capitalise on. It all just adds up to a game that doesn't get boring fast at all despite the seemingly repetitive nature.
I will say that I kind of wish there was a longer mode. I wanna see the game scale with things like a fourth hero buff and whatnot.
