“On paper I should love this game but it just does not click with me at all. I am not sure what it is I play deck builders a lot and this one is not one that has ever landed with me after 20 hours I had to just stop…”

“The higher you go up in difficulty, the more you'll see how useless most cards are. There is fun and challenge to be had between difficulties 1-10, and certain factions are inherently better than others without needing…”

“Really well designed Slay The Spire-like. Good and unique mechanics, depth, graphics, music (seriously, very good music), etc... There are definitely better builds for each class/character and easily abusable cards, but…”

“It's cool. Like Doom lore cool. The demons have a charming brutality. Then angels do the biblical intensity justice. The Boneshaker is just GWAR level awesome. Scumdogs of the underworld. Playing the bad guys hasn't…”

“Ultimately, this is a nicely packaged roguelike deck-builder with diverse clans, combinations and intriguing upgrade system. Though I have to say, card drafting might be the least interesting aspect of this game, and…”

“Fun card game, but didn't grab me for the long-haul. People who love this genre will have a great time.”

“Good card battler. Nice visuals. Interesting combos and tactics. It suffers from the usual faults of its kind, some games are simply impossible to win. Especially since it’s a limited deckbuilder: you have to rebuild…”

“My negative review has literally nothing to do with the quality of the game in isolation; it's more of a warning to others not to buy it and just buy the sequel instead. Since, truly the only problem with this game is…”

“this game's admittedly lackluster title more than makes up for it with its gameplay. hooked me more than Slay the Spire did. the three-tier combat is so juicy, the character designs are so fun, and every run feels so,…”

“This game to me is a lot of "the juice isn't worth the squeeze". There is (or at least seems to be) a lot of choice and customizability throughout a run, but I never felt like my choices really mattered that much,…”

“Runs can last a little longer than I would like, and the default difficulty is a little easy. Wildfrost was my first introduction into the card deck-building genre, and I prefer that over Monster Train for various…”
