Hell Shuffle

Nice graphics, nice ideas, and certainly lots of potential. But right now, the execution is problematic: the game needs a lot of work on the ergonomy. It's painful to clic & target, to validate, to confirm, to confirm after a clic etc. The whole UI needs to be revamped (check Gordian Quest, check Slay The Spire). It reached a point where it's preventing me from willing to play. There are also balancing issues. The starting cards feel weak, the opponent are doing too much damage too early and the covenant grind helps, but doesn't motivate enough. Overall, the devs need to play their own game much much more (sorry if they do already), as some balance troubles feel very obvious when you play. I'll give it another try after an update, and I'll review my note then.

If you consider yourself a lover of card games, MUST HAVE!.

wow , great game :) Really good ----------------------Pros------------------ - lots of cards - decent amount of heroes each with coll stats (makes chosing difficult) - Different trees to unlock - lots of play hours - runs smooth on simple laptop ----------------------Cons-------------------------- -no safe ability during run .... really ??? Buy it if you love Monster Train , Neoverse , STS , Gordian Quest etc....

Needs some polish - some spelling, visual and user experience tweaks, and some minor balance issues - but the game has a strong foundation of deckbuilding with minor tactics elements, offers a reasonably diverse range of strategies, and is paced far better and provides better replayability options than some similar games (such as Banners of Ruin). I would hope that this game gets more polish with another year of work, but even in its current state it's an enjoyable entry into the genre that ticks all of the boxes for a strong core experience - relevant decisions in combat, relevant decisions with deckbuilding/rewards, solid cross-run progression options, etc.

Appears to be abandonware. It has a lot of potential, and I like the game mechanics, but since there have not been updates in over a year, you have to figure the dev has vanished.

It's alright. The latest update added more difficulties and curses/threats to make the game harder. There are some enemies that are a bit overtuned when they have the pack threat active (Rat defender with two angels that deal 46 damage comes to mind). Summons/Elites are pretty weak overall. For elites I found myself just taking a strong activated skill, using it once then letting them tank some hits and dying.

Loved this game Good artwork, good game mechanics and gameplay, all good... Need to play a bit more but feels like it feels like a better version of slay the spire

-Very early review- Neat game that is still in early access stage. Saves have been added to the game recently and Steam achievements [strike]should pop very soon (we can see 35 of them actually (only 14 counted so far maybe a little bug)).[/strike] are in the game now ! More of them are coming in the future ! I played the demo enough time to know that it's more than interesting ! What's different from "Slay-the-spire" and such ? -Placement / position on board (6 vs 6 (3 front + 3 back)) are uber important ! -Some foes could attack a full line (3 characters) and even all (usually bosses and some elites), some attacks could be interrupted with defender on front line (but it depends on foe attack) -Summon helpers (defenders, attackers, elites (very cool addition)) on your side -Each card could be upgraded -Covenant trees (3), could really help you in each new game -Cards stay in your hand after each turn ! What could help the game to be a little more attractive ? -Some improvement...

Definitely is an early access title and it still need quite a bit of polish but the mechanics feel solid for the most part. As someone who has become obsessed with deck builders since Slay the Spire I'm excited to see where this one goes.

A nice casual rougelite with a little "spice" if you know what I mean, cause you do since you saw the content warning/description. So far for early access it shows promise, almost a hour in and I have not experienced a bug. In my books with this type of game thats a good sign to quality control. Progress is steady but the levels background dont have a feel of difference, maybe some particle effects and light rays to change up the scene, but hey early access so its expected. This is the type of game I fit into my spare time if I have a moment to spare.
