Cards with Personalities

A nice, short deckbuilder which plays alot like a singleplayer Ascension, but with a focus on damage. There's a series of different bosses to fight (which mostly functions as a timer but they often throw additional spanners in your works) that are all, atleast interesting. I like the shakeup halfway through that changes the starting deck as well with a nice sendoff on the new final boss. It has an appealing artstyle (atleast to me), the sounds are nice and crunchy, played with a controller turns can go fast and animations are snappy. Which is great cause it allows you to stay in a flow state and focus on building your strategy and react to whatever is coming instead of waiting for long animations. For the price i got a good 3.5 hours out of it and i would say i enjoyed all of it.

Single-player deckbuilder in the tradition of Ascension with a random center row of buyable cards and fightable monsters. Twist: You're also fighting a boss! Solid mechanics and room for synergies and clever plays. Made for controller (originally a PICO-8 game), which makes it a great fit for the Steam Deck too!

Very interesting and inventive card game. Definitely deserves more love.

Fantastic game tho I wish it could be played with the mouse

NICE GAME but gets repetitive because there are no unlocks

Very fun afternoon game. To be clear, this is not a roguelite like Spire (not that the store page would lead you to believe that but I think some people see deckbuilder and just assume), instead you select a boss fight and develop your deck from a weak starter deck over the course of the fight. Feels very boardgame-esque (I didn't play much Legendary but from what little I did play it reminds me of that) in that you're moreso focused on building a decent deck that can beat the boss QUICKLY rather than a perfect deck slowly. Throws a couple of surprises at you but nothing too too crazy. Only qualm is that once I learned all the systems, it felt like the endgame fights were a little too easy, especially if you're able to get going in the first couple of turns. All in all had a great time with it though

An enjoyable little single player deckbuilding game that can be played on lunch breaks but still has some depth. Worth a purchase if you enjoyed the Pico-8 version, this version has some notable improvements.

A fun, single player version of a drafting game like star realms. I recommend it if you like the genre, but it lacks personality (oh the irony!) and feels a bit generic. Certainly enjoyable though.

it's a fun game!

Fun take on deck building with a nice aesthetic and gamefeel :D
