While Card Hog is in Early Access its very playable with lots of features that I will get into.

First of all the game is a great value. Its 3.99 at full price and often goes under 3$ during sales. The price to value exchange is insane here. There is a ton of replay value.

Card Hog is at its heart a turn based roguelite where cards represent the dungeon. You move your hog (there are different hog classes) through the card layout and encounter the spaces you move into. There are special interactions between items that you are supposed to figure out. an example of this is you can use an item to ride a bull.
There are monsters, items, towns, dungeons, coins and other things to encounter.

While the game is fairly light it manages to have lots of features to keep you engaged and having fun. The artwork is very cute and really adds to the game.

* You can choose the map size
* It has steam workshop support for art customization
* Dungeon Loop Mode
* Endless Mode
* Flame Escape Mode
* MULTIPLAYER????? Where you have the ability to duel, or co-op, and even the flame escape mode with a friend.
* Achievements, Unlocks, Character Progression, Multiple Classes, and permanent upgrades round out the excellent feature set.

The developer is always checking for feedback on steam, twitter and discord he is very responsive and does implement ideas discussed by the community.

It's a light roguelite that will keep you entertained at an amazing value. There is no reason anyone into roguelites or interested in trying them should not own this game.
