Steam review snapshots
The game is still the same fast-paced, snowballing, deck-building roguelike, except it has tons of new content.The first 100 hours I spent just getting each clan to level 10 without touching covenants, challenges, or the newly added Soul…Improvement to replayability and contains a good chunk of the originalMy biggest gripe with the game is just how hard some bosses can check your entire deck at later levels, but this…Why it fits
Check it if you want strategy filtered by tense, single-player.
