There's a lot of decent ideas here but man are they not necessarily implemented well. When you hover over the cards/artifacts/scrolls or scroll reagents they don't always say what they do and it takes a few times to actually show what it is. There's also no option to have the game in full screen. The game seems a little slow and laggy at times or more-so unresponsive. This seems closer to a version 0.3 if anything or a class project for a demo more than anything but in that sense it's on the right track and am looking forward to seeing what the game evolves into unless it gets abandoned.

I don't want to blast an indie Dev so fast on his game, so I won't hit "no" but I want to. Already, the game feels clunky and not at all polished. The fact that the rewards don't always tell you what they "are" is really annoying. You mouse over it, it doesn't show, then you mouse over the middle card, NOW they all show what they do. BUT if you move your mouse back from the bottom or top over the outer cards, they no longer show what they do. It really feels like an early access. It is laggy and does have some basic issues. BUT I don't want to give it a negative just yet. I like supporting small project games.
The game is a mess, to be honest. Too random and without enough information on how to improve yourself. It might become good, eventually, but there is a long road ahead to get there and I am not optimistic.
5/10 at the moment, but could possible become a 7/10 after some tweaks. Right now the game has almost all the basics there, but here are the issues: - Several bugs with cards not doing what they say, or card tooltips that are wrong (i'm looking at you Curse(3). Also you can get 2 of the same artifact and equip them, but when fighting 1 dissapears and isnt activated. Also, when I want a scroll and the inventory is full. I get a message that its full, but can still click on it as a reward. The list goes on. - Gameplay itself is fun, but gets boring if you get ahead of the curve with a good deck and are clicking trough the map for 1,5h streight. Gimme some adrenaline plz. - Some choices or menu's dont give tooltips, so I dont know what cards to pick. - Crafting system seems complecated for no reason - Game keeps telling be about all the great achievements I can get, but Steam achievements arent implemented Pro's: Cool style, some fun cards 'n combo possibilities, and a pricetag that you...
