Steam review snapshots
90% of negative reviews are morons that dont realise they can visually track the cards as they are being shuffled in chance…The atmosphere and storytelling is great and I think any gambling addict will have a ton of fun with this part of…You can get incredible runs (within your available/unlocked card's limits) or you can have the worst runs and encounter big bosses on…Odd quirk on console, you can use two controller to control the same character, makes for some really fun and quirky two…Why it fits
Good fit if you want deckbuilding, strong atmosphere, boss rush, and replayable single-player play. It stands out for card-driven choices, memorable atmosphere, standout fights, and a structure that invites repeat runs.
Who might skip it
