“I played Tainted Grail Fall of Avalon so of course I got to get another game set in the same universe because I love the lore so much. It's a deck builder thats pretty similar to Slay the Spire. But in my opinion I like…”
“This game is phenomenal. Good story, easy to learn (harder to master) and it rewards creative approaches to enemies. Highly recommend.”

“This is a cool little deck-builder roguelike with a really metal dark fantasy art style. A great thing about it is that you can beat it reasonably fast (~10 hours or so), but it has a ton of replayability and true…”

“Bossfights in this game are an absolute slog (taking 20-30 minutes to do), the majority of cards are useless, and the gameplay is incredibly repetetive. Just play Slay the Spire or Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon.”
“I haven’t had this much fun since I fractured my skull. Simplistic cards, uninspired combat and you're setup to fail constantly. No fun just pure frustration.”

“Nope. Played for about an hour and it never clicked. The game play and story were both…there. Nothing pulled me and made me think “…just one more round”.”

“I wish this game had been discovered by as many people as Slay the Spire 2.. it's basically a more elaborate version of StS2.”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“Great game even though there are no major changes to the formula. Tainted Grail: Conquest plays exactly from what is expected from a roguelike deckbuilder.
