    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is initially challenging but becomes enjoyable after a brief learning curve, offering a concise and casual experience with a solid core loop. While the mechanics and card strategies provide some variety, the deckbuilding aspect feels underdeveloped, as most cards merely enhance existing strategies without significantly altering gameplay. Overall, players appreciate the fun and varied gameplay, despite some concerns about the depth and effectiveness of certain mechanics.

    • “While at first it is a bit hard to get into, especially mechanically speaking, it becomes an absolute joy to play after the tutorial and first 15 minutes pass!”
    • “The gameplay is fairly novel, concise, and to the point.”
    • “Solid gameplay loop where you always feel like you are a few turns away from defeat with a slightly weaker deckbuilding element which still manages to have a lot of strategies for such a small scope.”
    • “Not terrible, but after 45 minutes I started to realize the base gameplay loop is pretty stale.”
    • “The big problem with the deckbuilding mechanic is that every card (at least that can be unlocked in the first 6 hours) does nothing but bolster what you're already doing.”
    • “Although I acknowledge the attempt at variety, the mine mechanic feels very stapled on.”
  • graphics
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features charming pixel art graphics that appeal to fans of cute aesthetics, enhancing the overall gameplay experience. Reviewers appreciate the combination of adorable visuals with engaging and varied gameplay, suggesting a delightful audiovisual presentation.

  • replayability
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game offers considerable replay value with its engaging concept and variety of maps, missions, and card effects that encourage interesting combinations. However, some players feel that the replayability is somewhat diminished due to limited unlocks and a lack of significant changes in gameplay, leading to mixed opinions on its long-term appeal.

    • “A quick little game with considerable replay value.”
    • “Great concept, adorable, and replayable.”
    • “There is a more than decent amount of variety in terms of maps, missions & cards with wild effects, that once combined lead to very interesting combos and a lot of replayability.”
    • “Fun game, a nice amount of puzzliness with a little bit of that sweet roguelike randomness, but I will have to say that the negative reviews are also pretty accurate - the replay value is a bit lower than it would seem, and the unlocks don't quite change enough.”
    • “This made the game have way less replay value than I was expecting when I bought it (and I've probably spent far less time on the game than I did if I had known that).”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story revolves around a series of missions where players strategically acquire resources and connect cities to fend off demons, with progression tied to successful runs. While the game offers a variety of maps, missions, and card effects that enhance replayability, some players find the unlock requirements excessively high and struggle to balance growth and expansion, leading to frequent losses.

    • “There is a more than decent amount of variety in terms of maps, missions, and cards with wild effects, that once combined lead to very interesting combos and a lot of replayability.”
    • “Unlocks are associated with success on runs, with each mission giving you one point towards the next unlock; however, the amount needed to unlock everything seems quite egregiously high to me.”
    • “Maybe I am just bad at this game, but I have not figured out the ideal balance of vertical growth and expansion in the missions, and because of that, I have lost many games in ways that I am not sure I could have prevented.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some find it lovely and soothing, others feel the tracks are limited and not particularly appealing. Overall, it is noted that the music complements the cute aesthetic of the game, making it a worthwhile purchase for some players.

    • “The music is excellent and the sheep are cute.”
    • “The music is lovely, and incredibly soothing, and the sheep are too cute (sorry I keep getting your cities destroyed, little dudes). $9.99 is the perfect price point for it, and I highly encourage picking this up.”
    • “As for the sound design, I found the music to be fine, but the tracks were both limited and not really that appealing to me.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
