Perfect blend of rogue-like and deck-building gameplay mechanics. I'm not much of a card player because the barrier of entry for most modern card games is too high for me, so the game forcing me to use a basic deck from the start is very nice.
It does however lean more towards a rogue-like, with your character resetting every time he dies. It has a vast number of synergies you can achieve with your cards and the deeper you go the more invested you get so it's a really addicting experience knowing that if you played your cards just a little bit differently you could get farther.
Since the cards and upgrades have a small pool you can choose from at every game, you have to constantly adapt so the game never gets stale. All the card and card effects are very well designed so it feels really satisfying pulling off some crazy combo on an enemy that previously gave you a lot of trouble.
The best part is the bosses, but I'm not spoiling ;)
