WitchHand

If Stacklands took the Cultist Simulator formula and made it less cryptic, less magical and less dark - and with less depth - WitchHand takes Stacklands and adds magic back, but replaces the British Eldritch Darkness with Pink Witch Whimsy and lays off the cryptic stuff; and as much as I loved cracking the mysteries of the Mansus, in this case it's good riddance. See, WitchHand's focus is city building/survival, not decoding forbidden lore. Which is not to say that the lore is entirely without mysteries, but figuring it out is not going to grant you some kind of secret power. It's just there if you like to think about the stuff while you move cards around and ponder [strike]the orb[/strike] your next move. And there is plenty to ponder. There are monsters about, and your witch can die, which ends the game; in the beginning you'll only fight an occasional stray mob you meet during exploration, but eventually the Void will mobilise against you and will start sending periodic attack par...

a really fun game, i loev the cute drawings and the familiars are sooooooooooooo adorable, was recommended by a friend, really really fun, i used to play it for hours nonstop, the chef is my favorite character :D

To anyone having played stackIands, this is pretty much the same thing, with a magic theme added to it. The art is pretty cute, and I liked both the theme and atmosphere. But the game is extremely grindy, and there is nothing satisfying to reward you for your efforts. The cards design quickly becomes a chore, and as everything grows it becomes more and more annoying. The dev noticed this, so a lot of your new spells you'll unlock through grinding will improve your quality of life, and you'll be thankful that the game is a little less of a chore. I think this is a wrong take on magic. I think magic should take you to new heights that you could barely imagine before; not making the game a chore on purpose, with magic being a few qol patches which should have been a default. Please don't design games as annoying just to give the illusion of content. The game also give the choice of different characters to start with, and they seem nice, but I can't see why I'd bother going through almost ...

This game is a merge game but with cards and an exponential growth system of networks that are engaging in their design. The art is well done and the music is relaxing. I definitely think this game is worth picking up if you enjoy merge games, card games, or exponential growth builders. There are some accessibility changes that could be made, like having the ability to pause/speed up/slow down time. There is *sort of* a way to do this now, but a set of buttons in the corner with shortcuts would be amazing. There's nothing flashy on screen, but the cards shake if the stacks get too big/close together which may be aversive for some. The text that tells you what things are on the top right can be a bit in the way and intrusive while also being hard to read if things are moving. The windowed/borderless/etc sometimes changes settings on you for no reason, but you can cycle through to get it back to what you want. The polish for this game could be better in terms of UI, but overall t...
