A New Deckbuilder
Sasha here! 👋
This game is cute. With very cute animations.
I found this game through Itch but as luck would have it the game had a Steam page as well. I played through the Itch version then tried out the Steam demo. It was cool to see how the game progressed from a game jam game to a full product. (It released yesterday, August 7th)
I essentially got a very condensed view on how the game evolved from a high level in the span of a week.
The mechanics are simple. Place your soldiers in a lane and they advance each turn, dealing damage to your enemy. There are multipliers, card abilities, and status effects. Some of the cards in your deck gain a sort of character/identity. They become heros that come in at the right times to save the day.
What I liked...
The music in this game flows smoothly from scene to scene and beautifully compliments the visual aesthetics of the game. There's a great deal of polish in this game. The texture of the lines that make up the art, the paper-like feel of the graphics, the game just has character.
Very picture book vibes.
I didn't play it long enough to get a good feel for the strategy of the game but I can see later parts of the game being intense with hard decisions, sacrifices, and just plain ol'bad luck.
I'll be saving this one for another day where I can enjoy it with a friend.
If you're a fan of deck builders/roguelikes I'd love to know your thoughts. Find it on Steam and maybe send me an email :)
