“TLDR: High potential, if you come from games like STS you will find it too easy and quickly repetitive, for players new to the genre, or experienced players who don't mind the cost and are desperate for something new it…”
“Absolutely loving this game. I think it takes some time to truly figure out the camp deck building but I would say most people are sleeping on this half of the gameplay. Take the extra damage if you need to and sleep…”
“I love the mushroom theme! I felt captivated right away and it's a unique deck builder like Slay the Spire. Somehow got lucky and beat a run on the very first try lol I'm excited to see how this game will continue to…”

“I usually don't write reviews, but i have to recommend this one. Really creative, visually gorgeous card battler roguelike with 2 decks you need to manage. I already had 100+ hours in the demo / beta - so its safe to…”

“No idea why this is "unsupported" on the Steam Deck; it works just fine. Interesting roguelike deckbuilder with two decks: one for combat, and one for upgrades. A lot of card variety to choose from in both phases. No…”
“Forgot to review it as soon as I played the new content. This game's double deck-building is actually unique, and they lean SUPER hard into it. In fact, each area has different cards it adds to your deck, and different…”
“It's somehow ... chill? Look, I worked on the MTG Pro Tour for 9 years - I love card TCGs so much but I just cant invest the time in a whole dang ecosystem of cardboard. This one scratches so many itches. I think for…”

“It's $15. It's a lot of fun! It has a Demo, give it a try. The Devs are involved, available, open, and transparent with their community. Wouldn't that be nice if all Devs on all games were this involved with their…”

“Considering this is an EA game it's got plenty of content for the price. As long as they keep developing it, balancing, and fixing some minor bugs it's going to be pretty stellar. It would be cool to see a co-op…”

“Great early access game! > Solid amount of content for an early access release > Great art direction. Everything drips with grimy mushy dungeon style. Has a real late 80s / early 90s skatepunk aesthetic > Deckbuilding…”
“Unique presentation for a card game -- love the grimy, comic-art style aesthetic as you're walking through the corridors. The gameplay loop can feel punishing if you're not thoughtful about how you play your hand, but…”
“I highly recommend this game, the combat and exploration is very fun! A few people have wrote negative reviews and I just don't agree. It has some small flaws, however, it is a new game! Most flaws will be dealt with.…”

“Alright game, kind of slow paced and difficulty is not there yet. Ambitious game but no challenge or incentive to adjust deck/add cards. Game is solved from floors/rooms 2/3. No relic/artifact support is also…”
“I'd say keep the game on your radar because earlier versions I had played were much more engaging, but it is not worth playing in the current state. I bought at launch because I sunk many hours into the demo but got…”
