Absolute one of the better Deckbuilders on Steam. Hard to argue with that.

More forgiving then Slay the Spire, but more complex then Monster train. Arguable the only other two titles, that would be better or on par with it in my opinion. They all have there unique mechanics and rules, but have the same high standard and vibe to them.

Where Vault of the Void is different, is hidden within the balance of all the mechanics. The purge system, is good, but hardly that alone makes it good. It more so the complete set of mechanics, within the complex system of cards, artifacts, spells and stones.

It is well polished when it comes to Graphics, UI and UX,

It is a game that rewards players for their good tactics & strategies, rather then punish us for being unlucky. Though luck will always exist in these games, more often then not, my own mistakes and deckbuilding capabilities is punished rather then my luck.

Again going back to the balancing, and it not being to tight or loose, especially on higher difficulties. The balancing act of luck vs crazy synthesizing builds, is really hard to master for developers while maintaining it to be fun. This game is very close to perfection in that act,

While it might lack the fantastic modding community of Slay the Spire or Monster Trains unique multilayered combat, along with (insert: Multitude of great things to say here,) it easily slots into the top 3 in its own right.
