Replayability allert! Please let the look not mislead you. This game should be played by every player who likes card battles. This game hits all the right buttons to be fun to play. You are dropped on a gridfield and you get to choose where. Weather and environment are part of the things you need to keep in mind. You start with a small number of assets (cards) and it is up to you how to use and manipulate (mods)those. If you win, you gain cards and mods. If you lose, you sometimes get money to buy certain upgrades. For an EA title, it is really fun to play. It is also hard as nails... But I LOVE IT. Is there room for improvement? Off course. But what you get is already great. The skelet of the game is really really interesting and different from other card games I played.

The game is pretty janky, pretty imabalanced, and really unique and fun. Its takes the sticker upgrade system of Gloomhaven, the elemental reactivity of Divinity OS, and the graphics of Dreamquest and it rolls them all into one grid based fever dream. Instead of trying to balance the incredibly flexible and powerful upgrade mechanics, the game just lets the player kill themselves on accident with great regularity. "Wow this card applies a ton of damaging knockback to everything on the map! How Powerful!" -Every player upon discovering Earthquake, shortly before being crushed to death by the storm of ricocheting enemy corpses. Its actually a fairly easy game to win if you play most boring, safest strategies you can find, and pick controllable cards that have strong but non-combinatoric effects. But if you wanted balance, order, or safety, you probably wouldn't be playing this game.
It's a very cool game, i like the style, and the aesthetic. The gameplay is interesting and refreshing. I hope to see more games like this! great job devs.
Simple, fast, fun. Tons of strategies to get your deck working. Just enough chaos to spice things up,
I have played this for a few hours so far, and i see so much potential. They aren't lying about strategic freedom, and the game can be very difficult... In a good way! It is only a few dollars, but if you still aren't sure, here is a video first run of the game to hopefully convince you. https://youtu.be/Z8Cv2x4Z5WY
There's very interesting combinations of cards you can create, and mechanics are fun. Honestly this is kinda hardcore. It looks like it was made by one person who couldn't draw very well so graphics are kinda ugly, but don't let that fool you: this is a good game =)
I've been enjoying it
A very smart tactical card game. A steal for the price. The GUI needs some improvements but the game mechanics are entertaining to no end.
Nice little turn-based strategy card battler with unlimited replay value due to its procedural generation. Lots of unlockables to change gameplay and circumstances. Give it a try.
I'd hesitate on full price due to lack of balance and a few bugs, but this is surprisingly decent. Player can obtain very powerful effects but these can somewhat easily backfire on them due to mis-use. You start each run with 5 random cards and can customise the cards/deck in-between each battle. Lots of freedom there. Playing also earns the secondary currency used for unlocking new theme sets e.g. fire set adds playable fire cards but also fire area/fire enemy/etc. These sets can be individually toggled on/off if one wishes. + Replayability + Nice music + Short runtime for busy players * VIsuals are bit of a mixed bag, I like it personally - Bugs - Some QoL issues I had my doubts but I was pleasantly surprised. Though, again, I'd avoid full price.
