Well this is quite the surprise. This is among my top 3 deckbuilders behind Slay the Spire and Chrono Ark. It isn’t for everyone though as since you’re collecting and modifying dice rather than cards, turns can be pretty overwhelming until you learn all of the icons and get familiarized with the purify and corruption interactions. Runs can be on the longer side as well, especially with a below average build.
If you’re able to get over the initial hurdles though and vibe with what its got going on, you will find something truly special here. This is the only deckbuilder for me that came close to the initial enjoyment I got from slay the spire. It takes some inspiration of course, but without a doubt sets itself apart.

I am a big sucker for almost anything “roguelike”. The mechanics and gameplay in this looks really cool and fun, and I love the art style but I find it looks visually “busy”. Idk why, gives me the same effect as that one game image with like 50 different UIs on it lol

This is a fantastic game and great for anyone that wants a skill intensive deckbuilder. There’s so much math and statistics involved with insane lines of play, to the point where if you lose it always feels like your fault in some way. It’s not so difficult it’s unapproachable either, there’s just an insanely high skill ceiling.
Just make sure to take breaks, because unlike other roguelikes this isn’t a game you can play for hours and hours on end. You’ll get mentally exhausted and need a break every once in a while.
