A somewhat short, but fun semi-idle game. Gnorp your way into the apologue and just watch the little gnorps beat the gnorp out of a rock. Is fun, and definitely better to have a proper ending unlike some other really long idle games.

Before I continue my recommendation of the game is based on my own perception of the value it offers compared to its price.

Heretic's fork is a pretty decent tower defense game/deck builder that is fun when you start but it slowly becomes pretty dull the more you play it. It offers a hands-off gameplay for the most part, with the deck building elements being the mostly the only involvement the player will have in its gameplay.

Is not a rogue-lite game, so the replayability is very limited. The items you get in between stages is very limited and very boring. It has and endless mode that is pretty much the same, but you know, endless, and it has harder modes that are quite boring and simple (more enemy hp, dmg) and offer no reward other than money to buy more cards.

Buying more cards is also an issue: the basic cards are pretty good (and straight forward like attack speed, damage, etc.) but the purchasable cards are very boring, and unlocking more cards mean having a bigger pool of cards meaning a smaller chance of getting the cards you want on each run. There is very little risk/reward plays and the few I saw are extremely punishing and run ending like destroying all your towers. There are ways to mitigate this (increasing your luck), but by the time you have a lot of luck, either you don't need it or it will screw you even more if you lose.

Level 5 cards (the strongest) also felt very 'meh', most of them you could only use them once, others only changed damage type and other would give me perks I would rarely use because either they weren't in line with my current strategy or were very boring like a little bit of extra energy.

Character selection is fine, I honestly think the different character skills are the best part of this game. Each character can make you play a little different.

It has a story but it's kind of messy. I'll try not to spoil a lot, but sometimes you get an email after a run: some of them are funny (or supposed to be funny, as I found myself skimming over the last few ones I got) while others are 'story relevant' kind of. The issue was that since I was winning almost every run from the start (again, since I had less cards) by the time I reached the 'ending' I continued unlocking files and stuff in a way that felt disjointed. Progress seemed tied to how many times you played rather than if you won or not.

I think the worst was that I was having very boring, very samey runs until I reached the ending and only then the 'hard mode' unlocked, but by then I had seen all the game had to offer before unlocking more cards and it becoming a drag, hoping I would get synergy due to the large amount of cards that were now in the pool.

I can see the game has a lot of passion in it, and it's not bad, just very mediocre after a while. There is little risk/reward situations that are actually worth it, the items at the end of the levels should be game changers, not just more damage, health of structure slots.

I don't want to bring its score down because there is legit love poured into this game, but I can't say I actively recommend it either. It's fine for a few hours (or more if you want something to play in the background while you work) but that's it.

Pokemon fanboys are mad. Nintendo probably doesn't have a case. I happy. :)

Also a little monkey can shoot an SMG on top of my head. Gun/10.

I got all trophies. I want die.
You should play it. It's okay if you just finish it. Don't be like me.

Excellent horde survor game, with a pretty cool art style and actually a pretty involved gameplay.

This game is a real work of passion, with incredible animation both in game and the animated cutscenes, excellent music, amazing dialogue and humor. While in my opinion it felt somewhat easy most of the time (having played it on hard) it was still a great experience that I can't recommend enough, and there seems to be a lot of post game content that I still need to check.

The only downsides I could point are the camera, the lack of a lock on system (the game tries to aim the camera at the closest enemy, but fails specially with fast moving enemies that try to keep their distance) as well as some bugs when it comes to graphical settings. During combat, sometimes it can be hard to tell when you've been hit, particularly when performing a combo finisher.

Do you like to pray to RNGesus? No? Well this game requires it, a lot. After just a few maps I realized there is little to non strategy required. It's just click and hope for the best.

I won't say that you shouldn't buy this game, but if you expect something remotely similar to the stanley parable, you are not going to get that. I see the message from this game, and to be honest I think I understand what this is about, but unfortunately, you could get the same experience watching someone else playing it on youtube and that's not enough to justify the price at all.

This is no a game, or even a "choose your own adventure". This is more a story narrated by someone else, in a world where you have few to no choices (and this few choices are meaningless). You won't find any kind of gameplay at all, besides just being walking around and clicking a few stuff.

I know this a "game" that took time and effort to be made, by someone who wanted to express something, to deliver a message, but in my opinion it's not worth buying it. If you are really interested in walking simulators with a meaningful story, you probably going to like it, but if you expect to find some humor and somewhat meaningful decision like on "stanley parable" I suggest you look somewhere else.
