+ Good mix of combat card game and text quest. - There is little variety in musical themes, especially in combat(you get tired of it quickly.).
Love deck builders that aren't rogue likes. I just like building a deck and actually keeping it for more than an hour of my life. Its not like rogue likes are hard... Its just super unsatisfying to start from the beginning constantly. Since there aren't a lot of actual RPGs that have deck building mechanics, unless Heistgeist was terrible, I probably would have liked it. But its more than just serviceable, its pretty solid. Pros: Deck building RPG. Characters are fun and well written. Voice acting is solid. Music is good. Mechanics are simple and flow well. I like the variety between the decks and the differences between hacking/combat. This game isn't too difficult. (I just ended up going infinite). Something light and fun to play. Cons: Some frame drops when there's a lot of cards. Music is good, but needs more songs/ variety. I just spent most of my time with the combat music. Would like some cards that require synergy to have more synergy cards to put them more in line with the p...
[h1]Recommended on a discount[/h1] Finally a deckbuilder that isn't a roguelike. You have one deck throughout the entire story of the game. Your cards get XP by playing them and then become upgraded, and ALL copies of a card have that upgrade. I immediately saw potential to go (almost) infinite and someway through, I build a deck that actually did thanks to the upgrade system and some accessories that slim your deck, so I could beat every fight on the first turn. The fights are a bit "slow", since you have animation lock after every card you play and have to wait for some effects to finish and you deal 2-6 damage for most of your cards while facing 150 or more "total" HP of enemies. Wish you could speed that up or have some gear that gives you more damage. It became a bit tiresome towards the end, since my deck was already perfect and the battles dragged quite a bit, so thank god it doesn't overstay its welcome (too much). Personally, I didn't care much for the story. It lost me so...
