Deck games are usually not my thing but Heroes of might and magic is 1 of my faves and this game reminds me of that so I do like it and would love to see more.
Man I forgot about this, the demo was so long ago.
Lovely art. I'm going to check this game out.
looks fun
Looks cool. Wouldn't mind seeing more.
Any chance for team members? Reb is ready
I have been waiting for you to play this for a while now, and I am happy to see you doing it. I hope this becomes a mini series of sorts.
I wouldn't mind seeing more of this game, seems interesting enough with room to expand.
A game to watch, no question. But not one for me to play. If you make this a series, I'd certainly enjoy it.
Not sure I like this one.
Interesting, I've never given a deck builder a shot before, I like the Japanese theme and the four characters on paper are different enough to offer some variety in play style. I'll watch more if you continue this.
Since you've got your eye on the steam next fest stuff I'd recommend a look at Dark Envoy if it's not on your radar yet, looks promising.
would definitely like to see some more videos. And with each mission being mostly self-contained, it looks to be one where you could easily sneak in a video or two between projects or to break up the long runners
+1 base strength for how long? what happens if you repeat events? more base?
will card upgrade last for next events too?
comment for the comment god!
I like the eastern setting with each house being linked to a Japanese yokai. That said, why have goblins as enemies instead of leaning more into creatures from Japanese folklore?
Seems interesting, can you show a bit more?
I saw this game on sale recently, but i wasn't sure about what made it different compared to other roguelikes.
Wow, I saw Spalttercat play the demo for this ages ago. It's interesting to see a longer form play of the full release. Thanks for posting this. I'm bad at deck builders, but I don't mind watching.
