Love this game so far. Just got my first win.

I love Slay the Spire and it taught me everything I needed to learn, but I think this game, Monster Train, and Touhou Lost Branch of Legend have surpassed it as my favorites.

I've dumped 10 hours into this game in the past 24 and can wholeheartedly recommend it to people who hyperfixate on slay the spire. It definitely has a learning curve - there are a lot of keywords/mechanics and icons to get used to, and there are a few not-immediately-intuitive interactions, but especially if you've ever played this archetype of game before there's enough familiarity to hit the ground running. Compared to Spire, the Acts are a lot shorter but each individual fight is significantly more taxing. I've gotten a few clears on different characters but haven't yet unlocked the endgame - excited to see what that looks like.

Big thanks for bringing this to my attention ^^

I've been feeling the exact same way! Really loving it. I think it might even surpass Spire for me. Really well-designed and great use of the dice.

I'll have to wait and see what the endgame/ascensions look like to see how the replayability compares, but yeah. Big fan of the tools they give you to affect variance, and watching like twenty dice clatter around on the screen definitely makes the brain happy
