I don't really know if the developers of this game really are that invested in the balance of this game. At time of writing, I only have 8 hours roughly in game time, but you don't really need more than that to realize how inconsistent this game truly is. A lot of people bring up the RNG of the game and rightly so.

The problem isn't that it's a "deck building" game so much as there's a LOT of Perks and Items that are just dead weight. It's almost impossible to have any coherent "build" outside of getting lucky.

That in and of itself is also not inherently a negative. However, with the way the game is balanced, most "average" builds just will not win you a run. In fact, in many cases a more "optimized" build where you do get decent synergy will also not be enough to win you a run.

This game does not test your ability to formulate a plan. It does not test your ability to adapt and make the best of a bad situation. This game does not test your strategic depth.

This game simply tests how many runs you are willing to attempt before you give up all together.

I don't know why this is at mostly negative, honestly. I've been having a blast for the 2 hours I played, even got 2 victories!

The RNG is a bit heavy, but the devs have said they're working on the fine-tuning. So it'll only get better. Very possible to win, and honestly not that hard to spot the combos and whatnot. The game is funny and enjoyable.

I will say, the price is a little steep. If this had been a $12 game opening with 10% off I think it would've taken off even more-so. But hey, that's a personal opinion. I do think I'll be getting $15 worth of enjoyment out of it, so I'm not too worried.

Has it issues with RNG, card bloat, and the price is a touch steep, but I enjoy it regardless. The different hero decks do bring a decent amount of variability of mechanics.
