Played it long enough to try all characters, beat it twice, see some unlocks, and play with the meta-progression skill tree. This game is currently on sale for 85% - for that price, if you love roguelike deckbuilders, and have exhausted all of the great ones, it's not the worst way to spend 5-10 hours. That being said, I could never visualise going "deep" into Roguebook like I have Slay the Spire, Cobalt Core, Griftlands, etc. The basic combat mechanics are what you've seen from StS, so what's different? There is a 2-party system where you can change who's in the lead, a map to explore, a decent theme, ... a lot of little things, but none of it is particularly fun, it's just different. There's nothing that has me excited to push the next challenge level, like I have been in other games in this genre. The meta "skill tree" that you expand out is terrible. Yes I've read the developer's vision, yes you can beat the game on the first go, but it's just exhausting. The first few pickups ...

Roguelike fans, purchase on sight. Great game with a lot of scaling potential built in. Just novel enough to compete against the bevy of roguelikes deckbuilders, but squarely in the genre enough to scratch that itch. 10/10

It has controller support, but the text is unreadably small, so there's no way you'll be playing this on your TV.

I am hooked. Can't believe I only paid $4.

I may continue exploring this game. It isn't bad. It is pretty fun. It's just not unique enough to distinguish among a crowded genre and I cannot recommend.

Always trying to scratch that Slay the Spire itch. This game is not its equal, but it is pretty good, and does scratch that itch a bit.

This game is like Slay The Spire 2.0, it is absolutely worth the dollars.

Probably not worth full price but for under 10 euro/usd its a great little game to have fun with for at least 20-30 hours

Definitely one of the better roguelike card battlers. Enjoyed the map exploration. Fun mechanics with cards and synergies between characters and treasures. Not as challenging as Slay the Spire but still lose enough times to make winning feel like an achievement....and the NG+ options and additional characters/cards to unlock keep you coming back for more. Only complaint is gem mines....feel a bit poorly thought out, they tend not to be worth entering as the cost, and risk of getting wounds in your deck due to tough enemies, doesn't really make it worth the hassle for the relatively poor rewards. For most of these type of games, I'll play madly for a few weeks then rarely come back - so, it remains to be seen whether this one will break the mold. But considering it was 85% off in a sale, even if i don't it was totally worth it. Overall though, this is a really solid addition to the genre and well worth checking out.
