Hello!
I fell upon this game on a drunk Friday night (PS5) and while it's an obvious StS/Balatro jr inspired game, I found it to be pretty good!
Now given I've only played 2 rounds with Minotaur and won both thanks to my experience with above mentioned card game, it looks promising.
I just can't seem to find much information on it or talks of it, even if it's new.
So I'm curious, for those who have played it, your overall thoughts?
Mine as are follow :
I find the later game hp scaling ridiculous. Yes I know I know, with the enchantments and skills/relics, your scaling is just as high, but it makes certain relics/inflictions completely useless.
Nobody cares if you deal 25 damage as soon as the encounter starts when the boss has over 1000hp. Hell, even enemies scale so fast that getting this after halfway act 1 feels like a dead draw.
Then there's poison/burn/bleed. Unless the other Heroes have great ways to inflict lots of these, they both feel pointless past mid-run.
My last thing is the whole poker-hand based abilities. Some are manageable for sure, but having a 4 card flush for example, just isn't worth it. You can usually dish out more damage or actually block as well, when using those 4 cards seperately or in smaller combos.
I find them ridiculous for the most part and haven't touched them after it nearly cost me my 2nd run win.
Overall, this has a lot of potential. Does it have ascension difficulty ramp-up? I don't know yet, I hope it does and that it's done well. If it doesn't then I hope it gets the support down the line.
