Urban Cards

Fun, thought provoking, casual, and strong concept.

I played many roguelikes, and out of all of them this is one I feel the most neutral about. I think it needs a bit more time in the oven. The debt system required a bit more thought, and the events in the game need a bit more of that as well. Progress towards earning new cards is unclear. Defeating an enemy with debt doesn't seem achievable but perhaps the right cards have't been unlocked for me yet? The game has a lot of positives going for it, in spite of all this. It's fun enough to play. 7.5/10

I don't know why so many negative reviews. This is a great game, with a different spin on deck building games. Definitely a lot better than a lot of roguelike card games. The devs have appeared to be tweaking it over the years so it is a lot more balanced. I find I can win the game 1 out ever three runs once you learn how the game works. There are some cards that are definitely better than others but not always in every case depends on how you build your deck. Would be kind of nice if you could see your future path so you can decide accordingly on how to handle the bosses. If you get this game on sale and you like deckbuilder games I don't see how you could go wrong with it.
