Developed by Two Tiny Dice, its success prompted the developer to bring the game to mobile.
Addicting fun!
I hope there is more content planned. I think two ideas for other classes would be a shadow step type character that can leap over a card or another character that has a backstep, that can go back to a previous row. Lovely game and awesome work!
United Statescould be great but lacking a bit
it did serve a purpose and was fun to unlock the characters and some challenges. but what’s annoying is that on the journey mode which has the potential to be so much fun. Zero explanation to what increasing and decreasing the values actually do in game. i’ve tried a mix of things and they are all impossible because not one thing makes sense. does increasing the quantity or the loot a good or bad thing? does increasing loot quality mean there’s less quality or more or rarity of items? does it mean i’ll find less or more lol. hopefully they can add some explaining
United StatesLove it!
I don’t usually write reviews but a reasonable priced, thoughtfully designed, and really fun game without microtransactions is worth a great review! I really loved this game, and there’s a surprising amount of depth to the card system, a variety of characters, and lots to discover! I hope the developer releases additional content: I’d love to shell out a few more dollars for an expansion :)
United StatesGreat Deck Builder
Clever mechanics and card/item synergies make for some interesting play. Each character requires different tactics, keeping it fresh. Successful runs take about 15 min, so good pickup-and-play.

It’s so simple but brings endless fun. Great way to kill time.
United StatesFun enough initially but pseudodifficult and frustrating
This game has a problem that many roguelikes share, which is that some of its “difficulty” arises from the statistical risk that it might generate a board which is impossible to beat even with perfect play. At lower levels of difficulty this is acceptable because it’s reasonably rare, but in some of the game modes, and with some of the characters, particularly the extremely imbalanced/gimmicky ones, you’ll find yourself losing because of an impenetrable wall of damage that no amount of preparation can forestall. This is frustrating. The counterpart to this is that the RNG sometimes produces games that are arbitrarily too easy, even at a higher difficulty setting. Victories achieved this way are unfulfilling. That feeling of unearned victory bleeds over into a suspicion that all of the victories were due to flukes. The interplay of the various game item cards encourages a range of play styles and makes each character feel unique, which is nice. The corresponding downside to this, which I think others have pointed out, is that you are often at the mercy of the RNG and you will wind up often using one or two default strategies based on the first couple items you happen to get. Overall, this game is not particularly difficult. I got to 100% completion on this game in about 3 weeks of casual play. I like the game’s visual style, and it has a fun dungeon-crawl-throwback aesthetic.
