The first thing usually asked about deckbuilder roguelikes is: How similar is it to the big names in this genre? Is Cardnarok like StS? In some aspects, yes. The map is similar - 3 to 4 paths with fights, shops, events - but there is no full preview. Shops are also similar to StS insofar that cards can be bought and removed here. What is NOT like StS is the team-building aspect. You have 3 active characters, not just one. So is it like Monster Slayers then? Also yes, in some aspects. In MS, you have a main character and 2 companions for support. In Cardnarok, you have 3 playable characters from a pool of different myths and classes (tank, healer, support, physical damage, magical damage), and Divine ('colorless') cards that do different things depending on which character plays them. This makes decks very versatile and is probably one of the most unique mechanics in Cardnarok. Is it anything like Monster Train or Griftlands? Not really. What 'tower defense' is to MT, and 'RPG' is t...

For an early access game it has a lot of potential and the dev team has already made changes in the few days i have played it that make the game feel and play better. I like the game so far and cant wait for more.

Been looking around for some indie games and found this little gem. I love the theme and ideas behind this game especially with the choices of heroes from mythologies of all backgrounds. The combat definitely requires strategical thinking, planning and careful calculation in order to level up fast and build decks that work with your team. At current state it's quite playable and no bug that bricks the game experience. The developers have been patching updates aggressively and that is a good sign. All in all, quite impressive for an early access roguelite game made by a small team and I really look forward to more cards and gods in the future!!

EDITED : Received the quickest and most thorough dev response I've ever had the pleasure of getting- as stated at the top of the original review, the game has great bones. The response has me feeling no way but positive about the future of this game. Section in UI complaints removed due to my lack of attention to detail, if you read the dev response, you can see the original complaint. All remaining parts unchanged so you can see where I stood - but if you wanted to really get anything from this review, read the dev's response - that's where this shines, frankly. Dear Devs - Your game has great bones - and I can see good things coming from your vision, but it really feels early access. Shade intended. As far as the pluses are concerned : its a fun take on a deckbuilding game, I appreciate the cutesy art, the straightforward descriptions, and the limited explanation needed. Very new to genre friendly. I like that the gods are fit to one of four simple archetypes and given their ...

The game has some innovative ideas, but as a whole it is somewhat bland. Individual cards are a bit bland, which might be understandable, considering the additional variety of the God characters. However, the worst offender is the "overworld" part of the game. It ranges from "are we there yet" to "oh my God take me outta here" kinds of bland-and-boring.

Interesting take on the genre The core loop is: - a string of StS-like maps - connected by a monopoly/Game of the Goose-inspired overworld - coupled with Rogue-lite Metaprogression The combat is pretty standard with the caveat of 3 characters (with somewhat varying abilities) in "tag-team" The Deckbuilding part follow the newer trend and allow the player a high degree of control over the resulting deck Overall the game could use more polish and some extra content, but it`s a solid buy if you`re a bored deckbuilder.

Slay the Spire mixed with 3 character tactical strategy. Fun time killer

Great game! Multiple characters to choose from and different cards to play with.

玩了玩其实游戏还不错，新手引导还挺到位的。 就是你们那个qq群是个摆设吗，怎么输名字都是错的，加管理也没通过。 问题已经解决了，我来说说第一次通关之后的个人向感觉。 游戏性还是不错的，主选三个神祗，其中卡牌战斗部分较为创新的机会攻击这个机制很有意思，游戏也将大富翁和dbg比较巧妙的结合在一起，初次游玩选择普通难度的话既没有太大压力，也能体会到不少乐趣。 讲真我觉得普通难度真的比较简单好上手了，制作者对于玩家很仁慈，那些无脑扔牌不考虑combo结果输掉游戏给差评的，我真是无话可说。 总结 游戏不错！对于dbg爱好者或者想动脑子体验一下卡牌乐趣的强烈推荐！ 我这个是小号，实际上对于dbg游戏有三千多小时的游玩经历，steam上卡牌几乎玩遍了，欢迎同好一起来交流~~

I haven't actually played the game yet, but the devs are so nice and active. There was an issue with Thailand's time settings so the game couldn't start. I told the devs that there's a bug, they answer right away and the fix patch got released in the next day. I'm very impressed. -will edit to add more review about gameplay later-
