When it comes to rougelikes, this is one of the worst ones you could play. I had fun at first experimenting with the cards and trying to learn combinations, but every death the game started to become more of a chore. So much so that I gave up on playing it entirely 2 hours in; the rest of my hours was spent on leaving my computer on to get the card drops. I tried playing this game two ways: 1) Seriously 2) Time waster The first way of playing didn't work, so I tried opting for a time waster-esque game--problem is, I can't use it as a time waster outside because of one particular artwork. Time waster at home? Much better games to choose from. All in all, I suppose the price does reflect and fit this game. Just don't expect much fun or replay value from it.

About This Game
In a sci-fi world from B horror movies, Cards of Cthulhu allows you to build your own deck of insane spells. Use them to defeat the terrible henchmen of Cthulhu and rescue your girlfriend that was kidnapped.
How does it play? The game is fast-paced and easy to learn, however, mastery requires foresight, improvisation and dexterity. In the deck building phase, you must analyse two options of cards and build a deck that has both synergy and specialization. In the combat phase, your cards are shuffled and only 3 cards will go to your hand. You then have to quickly improvise a combination to deal damage to the opponent, that can react and surprise you, forcing you to adapt to the circumstances.
Where is the Roguelike part? When you are killed, you will have the opportunity to build a new deck. Enemies will re-organize in new groups for a new experience. But don’t worry, you won’t start from zero. Permanent rewards will help you progress in your quest.
