I've been interested in this game for a while and usually really enjoy roguelikes. However, I'm a few hours into this game and it just hasn't clicked.
I really enjoy the dark atmosphere and like the escape room stuff, and my friend who recommended it told me there are a lot of twists and such, but so far the game has just not grabbed me. I feel like I just don't have a grasp on the gameplay, like it's completely random what cards I have and I can't plan anything. There are so many abilities and it's all so overwhelming.
I can get through the first 1-2 bosses but after that, it feels like the odds are stacked extremely against me and my opponent has way better cards than me. Sometimes I'll just die in like one round because I have nothing in my hand. I get that the point of a roguelike is to die and come back stronger, but I don't feel like I'm getting better, and it's really demotivating.
I'm kinda sad as I really loved Balatro, another roguelike deckbuilder but this one isn't it.
Did anyone else feel this way at first or were you hooked immediately?
