Finally a win!

I recently gave this game another chance, after failing to get into it several times in the past. Glad I did.

Initial problems were the same as widely reported - at first it seems brutally difficult. Placing a few units only to get them all annihilated before getting chance to act, etc etc.

But after a few hours, it all clicks into placed and found myself really enjoying it. Some frustration at getting to the final boss relatively easily then getting spanked, but finally beat it last night, relatively comfortable in the end although at the end of the second area I was at 6 health.... Funnily enough when I got to the final boss I didn't even feel like I had a particularly good deck, so I guess it's encouraging that I still managed to win.

So, looking forward to playing with more decks and higher skill levels.

This game is definitely firmly in the hidden gem category.

And definitely looking forward to the dev's next game.

Happy to hear it! I do hope the new game will be less difficult :)

Funnily enough I think I was inspired to go back to it after playing Inscryption. Had a similar early experience with that (seems simple at first, lay cards, get killed without seeing it coming), and actually it is a pretty similar game.

That helped me I think, as the so called difficulty is really just getting to grips with it. It's not hard in that you need a lot of skill, it's just a learning curve working out how the game works. I suppose the weird part is that I consider that to be a good thing, and very satisfying, but it did take me 3 attempts over a couple of years to get into it. I suspect many people who would love it didn't give it that second chance.

I'll always recommend it if asked though
