  • gameplay
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game is a blend of innovative mechanics and traditional blackjack elements, creating a unique and engaging experience. While the game offers depth and strategic planning, some players find the implementation of blackjack mechanics frustrating, particularly when bad luck can derail progress without player input. Overall, it is praised for its polished design, enjoyable sound effects, and the gradual introduction of new mechanics, making it a worthwhile experience for fans of roguelike deckbuilders.

    • “Extremely polished indie gem with unique mechanics.”
    • “So Void Tyrant overall takes the concept of blackjack and builds a whole deep and satisfying gameplay system around it.”
    • “It's amazing how much this game can take from basic blackjack mechanics and make it into an incredibly deep deckbuilder with 4 classes and dozens of unique baddies, each with their own creative ways to skew the odds to their favor.”
    • “Tl;dr: blackjack mechanics are poorly implemented and result in bad luck being extremely common and capable of ending runs without any player input.”
    • “On top of this, once you start losing, the mechanics of energy mean that you're more likely to continue to lose, since you need energy to manipulate the card draws, and you only get energy by winning the game of blackjack.”
    • “This mechanic turns a game about planning and strategy into a guessing game.”
  • graphics
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are praised for their simplicity, consistency, and attention to detail, earning a solid 4/5 rating. The art style is engaging and reminiscent of popular titles like "Slay the Spire" and "Darkest Dungeon," effectively creating an immersive world that enhances the gameplay experience. Overall, players find the visuals appealing and well-executed, contributing positively to the game's atmosphere.

    • “Graphics 4/5 for cleanness and attention to detail.”
    • “On the positive side, it's graphically quite nice with a fun concept and good gameplay.”
    • “This game has a great art style that creates its own world.”
    • “First the positives: the graphics are somewhat simple but consistent.”
    • “Haven't run into a bug in 16 hours (other than tiny things with graphic elements, nothing that affected gameplay).”
    • “Because the visuals look exactly like that one when you start watching a slime on your screen and you have to hit them; even the sounds and the exploration type probably are the same. It seems the visuals and mechanics are really inspired by that saga.”
  • story
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in the game is described as unoriginal and somewhat convoluted, but it doesn't detract from the overall experience, especially since players can opt to turn it off. While the narrative may not be the main draw, the gameplay elements, such as the turn-based card system and mission-based progression, provide engaging mechanics that keep players invested. Overall, the focus seems to be more on gameplay and upgrades rather than a compelling storyline.

    • “The game has a lot to offer, storyline and gameplay.”
    • “I really like the turn-based RNG card system and it feels like it's not terribly unbalanced, nor does it screw the player too much.”
    • “Blackjack-based deckbuilding roguelike, it has permanent upgrades you can unlock through currency earned in runs and through quests you can take at the main area.”
    • “The story is a lot of mumbo jumbo, but it doesn't get in the way much, especially since you can turn it off in the settings.”
    • “Story: nothing new, but we're not here for the story.”
    • “Story: nothing new, but we're not here for the story.”
  • monetization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model has significantly improved, with the removal of intrusive microtransactions and mobile ads, making the current version more enjoyable. However, players note that despite the lack of ads, the game's mechanics can still lead to frustrating outcomes that diminish the impact of player decisions. The mobile version remains available for free, but it includes ads and in-game purchases, while the Steam version lacks certain bonuses offered in the mobile version.

    • “It's much better now without the microtransactions. For those unaware, it used to be a mobile game with pretty intrusive in-app purchases.”
    • “It's much better now without the microtransactions (for those unaware, it used to be a mobile game with pretty intrusive in-app purchases), but the fact of the matter is that your decisions just don't matter in the long run because any individual fight could end the entire run through no fault of your own simply because all of the high-value cards shuffled to the top of your deck.”
    • “By the way, if you want to try it out for free, there's the mobile version, although it has ads and in-game purchases (the mobile complete version is the same price as the Steam version but it gives more goodies).”
    • “Steam version doesn't offer the bonus coins or card pack that watching ads does on the mobile.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and tedious, often feeling that it detracts from the overall enjoyment due to the reliance on RNG and the slow pace of progression. While some appreciate the game's mechanics, many express frustration with the time required to earn meaningful upgrades, which can feel undermined by luck-based outcomes.

    • “The game is nothing but an RNG fest and it feels like the game cheats. It's super grindy and takes forever to get the gold for meaningful upgrades, which don't even matter because RNG will smack you down 7 times out of 10.”
    • “It's very grindy, and there's way too much dumb luck involved for me to enjoy it.”
    • “The persistent progression pacing seems awfully grindy.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music is well-received, complementing the gameplay effectively with pleasant sound effects.

    • “The music is nice and the sound effects work well with the gameplay.”
