Dungeon Drafters is an enjoyable tactical RPG with deckbuilding being the cornerstone of your character's skills - while there are some quirks, the overall experience is a ton of fun and comes with a decent variety of things to do, and even ways to go through the game - since which order you do the dungeons, and how difficult each one is - is up to you and your personal route through the game.

Pros:
- Wide variety of cards
- Plenty of side content to consume, but none of it is "necessary to beat the game" (fishing, arena, puzzles, quests, etc.)
- Control of game speed both inside and outside of combat is a super helpful setting.
- Many of the sets are built around combos, and it's not afraid of letting you exploit it
- The Pixel art is extremely well done and feels unified across areas without robbing the zones of their distinct personalities
- Similar things can be said about the music - town is upbeat and poppy, dungeons are themed after their environment, but it's never intrusive or overbearing.

Cons:
- Enemy and Ally ai can get a bit weird at times, and while fine 99% of the time, I did have situations where the ai would break and just pass the turn.
- When you get over about 40+ cards in your hand it does become a bit fiddly to use them - though you have to build a deck specifically to do this (My record is 100+ cards in hand thanks to cloning cards and replacement functions - still useable, but it's definitely pushing the system to its limits)
- The final dungeon is an uphill battle - be ready with a big deck, it will be a battle of endurance.

Notes:
- Your initial character pick is your avatar, but you are free to play with any cards in the game, on any character, and they won't be any stronger/weaker, as long as you build up your card catalogue
- The order you do dungeons is up to you - you can even do the final dungeon first, though it will be tough as nails (beating a dungeon boss results in miasma on the island, which increases difficulty of other dungeons by causing more enemies to spawn, as well as some shrines breaking as you go through - more miasma, means more of this happening)
