Themes from a helpfulness-selected sample of Steam reviews, not the aggregate Steam score.
You defend against the Salkoth in a tower-defense roguelike, choosing a deck and charting a route across a procedurally generated map. Paths can lead to battles, shops, forges, rest sites, and other encounters.
In battles, you play cards to place persistent towers or cast spells, using mana to build defenses against waves of enemies. Map tiles can alter tower stats, while different battle formats call for different approaches.
During a run, you can add cards, collect trinkets, and spend resources on upgrades. Different starting decks have distinct card pools and strategies; further progression unlocks decks and bonuses, with higher Ascension levels offering tougher challenges.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its blend of tower defense and deckbuilding, along with the distinct strategies offered by different decks and the potential for tower, spell, and trinket combinations. Some also find it easy to pick up and return to for a run. Other reviews describe runs as repetitive, criticize the pace of unlocking content or the balance between strategies, and find the visuals or enemy variety lacking.
