I am writing this review because the (at time of writing) "Mixed" review score is a great injustice.

I truly, truly cannot begin to understand the conclusion that many of these reviews draw; that the game is unbalanced and overtuned. It makes me wonder if Faster than Light came out now a days, would it be met with similar review scores? My experience with both games was fairly similar, struggling to get very far until I learned the ins and outs, but then performing quite consistently after that.

There are some aspects that I can understand not being to everyone's tastes. The game is punishing, even a small mistake could easily end a run due to how the leader system works. If you go too specific with your build you might run into an encounter that you are not suited to deal with, but too general and you may not have the power to win. Your chosen leader can easily end up being the weakest aspect of your deck, becoming a burden you must drag to victory rather than some heroic figure. I loved all of this, so I find it unfair to point these out as flaws, as many reviews have.

I won my first run at around 3 hours in, I had a very strong and highly synergistic deck. A few more hours of playtime I was able to win again, this time with an unimpressive and quite generic deck. I found the difficulty to be on point, and was very happy with the unlockable modifiers that can be applied to make runs more challenging once you get the hang of the base level.

The art and music are top notch, the game feel is wonderful, the roguelike progression is good, with a variety of unlocks.

I guess the game is not for everyone, but it certainly is for me.

I really loved this game, although it definitely isn't for everyone. The story is pretty fantastic and the way the game gives you choices gives them some real weight. I really enjoyed the 3v3 ball game and liked how the light RPG elements worked with it.
There is a lot of reading, like a LOT, but the world and characters are interesting so the reading is good.
So far this is my favourite Supergiant game by a large margin, easily worth the full price and even better if you can get it in a sale!

Great game, works brilliantly co-op. Highly recommend if you like RPGs.

This game might just be the best game ever made.
