Steam review snapshots
As such, unlike most puzzle games, the replayability for this game is very high, which is by design!!Thistlemine in all seriousness, is a HARD game featuring both exploration puzzles and combat, each being different from the first encounters.Overall, I did enjoy Thistlemine's OST and art style being a fan of Fruitbat Factory.Item management and upgrading relics are super important, also have MULTIPLE savepoints.Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure filtered by dark, turn-based, puzzle.
