This is a really fun and clever game, and if it even remotely draws your attention, you should give it a shot. I think you'll have a blast. TLDR: Great game, clunky to play on Steam Deck. That being said, I got this under the impression that it worked with 'full functionality' on Steam Deck. That's... misleading. It DOES work on Steam Deck, it's playable and all that. But once you start opening booster packs and diving into what all the keywords and stuff actually do... You run into the fact that it doesn't work with the Steam Deck's trackpads... To check what an effect or keyword does, you have to switch to an 'examine' mode of sorts, that gives you a cursor to highlight the object you wanna understand better. BUT it starts you in the top left corner... and you have to move the cursor through every... single... select-able icon from left to right... top to bottom... until you get to the card in the middle of the screen. Every. Single. Time... you see a new keyword or forget what one...

User Reviews
Game is a hidden gem. I get to actually build my deck with the card I collected. For some reason that isn't common in indie card games, because they usually copy Slay the Spire way too much. While this game does contain roguelite content, it is much more similar to a TCG. except without all the "live service" and "online" traits.
