### 3/5 — Accessible and deep!

*2024-06-17*

Many gorgeous game elements. Accessible pars are coming together. Maps need missions to complete. More quest. Break tutorials down into smaller sentences. Explain card play principals. Show us where monsters are. Make stores, village goals and missions easy to find. Place “empty” on values that are zero or 0. What is the name of this game, because Voiceover can not pronounce it. It had to get a translator to help me. Beautiful music, ambience! Cute sound effects. Thanks for the BGM, Sounds and SE controls! Win! More clues to when we get weapons, trinkets and items. Explain card chains more. Explain how getting new cards work and why. Add collect all treasures to loot screen. Consider closed menu pop ups to prevent confusion for voice over. Playing this game on Game Double Tap, on Youtube! Brilliant Roguelike!

### 5/5 — Great game and fast Dev!

*2024-04-05*

Edit: Game is great! The developer is super quick with pushing updates to fix issues! Keep up the good work!

**Developer response:** ご報告頂きありがとうございます。バージョン2.5のアップデートにてこちらの不具合を修正致しました。この度はご不便をおかけし申し訳ございませんでした。

### 5/5 — you must play it!

*2024-04-04*

there are no words to explain how fantastic this game is. there are hundreds of unlockable layers for you to discover. I have played for more than 50 hours and am only getting started. the chain system makes it possible for you to make hundreds of different builds, because there are so many synergies for you to discover.

And once you die, there are rogue lite elements, so you will always start a bit stronger.

This is one of the best developers I've found. I'm totaly blind and he worked so hard to make the game fully compatible with screen readers, and the support is so great, I just wish there was an easier way for me to tell everyone to play it, because you should do it right now!

### 5/5 — Very interesting game

*2024-04-04*

I really like what I’ve played so far. To echo another’s sentiment, the skill selection at the end of battle has been broken so you just have to guess what the skill might be before choosing.

I think there is a ton of potential here. One of the main issues I have is that some of the English is a bit strange and difficult to parse.

Keeping my rating at 5 stars for visibility reasons but keep what I’ve written in mind.

### 4/5 — Please fix 2.2 update

*2024-04-03*

Game is great, except update 2.2 broke the skill selection upon battle rewards. When you win a fight and try to get a skill, the “get” button is greyed out and whatever you press on is automatically selected without showing a skill description.. This is game breaking for progression, please fix.

### 3/5 — Needs  work on accessibility.

*2024-04-02*

I can tell  that you are trying to make this game accessible to the blind, but so far, it is quite hard to navigate and doesn’t make much sense. It would be good if you could make the voice features more smooth and generally accessible. Also, there doesn’t appear to be any sort of tutorial, so I’m already lost when opening the game. any and all progress towards accessibility is much appreciated.

### 5/5 — Complex, strategic and addictive!!

*2024-01-30*

Game has got its claws in me…playing for the past couple of days and it just keeps getting bigger as I go. 

Very deep game with totally varied card mechanics. 
More than any other game of its type (deck builder) I truly get the impression that I’m in a fight, not just pulling cards. Each move has an impact. 
Beware though…this game doesn’t hold your hand. But rest assured that it does indeed make sense.

One note-
The SKILL button needs to be highlighted as it’s how you pretty much do everything.
