To be honest I wanted to finish a story very bad with this game because the beginning is intriguing. But…
The reason I put 3 is the main problem of the whole game. After some time it is not interesting.
There are different factors for that:
- There is small amount of content. Only 3 classes (though I admit they have completely unique playstyle). One world. not much cards, not much bosses.
- The game is not rogue-like in the usual sense. Yeas, you have kind of random, but the game tries to play in reversed manner, where you build the environment instead of it being generated for you. And here is a crucial part. There are not much situations pushing you to use different, styles and different deck. You just try to find one that works for you, and then do runs over and over again
- The dialog system is pretty simple. After 2 times of fight with the same boss, one dialog repeats over and over again. For instance in Hades even after 10nth meeting with the same character I see new and new dialogs and details of the lore (and all of them with voice over). Here, no.
This games doesn’t work as rouge-random-generator. This game doesn’t work as novel. There is to much grind and too less situations to push you into diversity of cards.
The OST and the Idea are brilliant though!
