Finish the game again after 10 years,
It is still one of the best stealth games.

As a turn-based roguelite in 2022, its mechanics are quite basic and lackluster. It only has cards, uninteresting artifacts, rarely used traps or items, and couple more classes in future. It's low in variety and doesn't bring anything new either.

Turn-Based Strategy + Roguelite

• 9 different playstyle characters
• Tons of combinations
• Satisfying variety
• Challenging

a Chess-like tactical strategy game.

You feel like a genius every time you complete the mission perfectly.

When a deckbuilder game is this long (campaign mode approx. 25hrs), the character progression become very slow that you don't feel rewarding from those small stat growth nor the 90% junk items.

After you figure out part of the game mechanics in Act 1, the game start to becomes repetitive and boring very quickly. Hundreds of battles are similar, you don't know and you don't care how exactly the enemies are aiming at nor what their attack patterns are. You just sweep the enemies in one or two turn again and again.

The game does not have enough randomness, variability nor difficulty.

No matter which character & weapon you choose, every run is pretty much the same because in the end you will get almost all the skills.
The only difference is the order in which the skills are selected.

TLDR:
Slay the Spire × Darkest Dungeon × (Optional) Online Co-op

A 5-hour cosy short journey of walking through the sadness, fear & hope.

Although the puzzles are a bit lackluster for me, but the little story alone is worth playing.

• FinalFantasyTactics-like
• Huge number of classes and skills
• Tons of combinations
• Able to import custom character portraits
• Easy to modify the game's settings file as needed
