Abandoned Game
Unfortunately, the game has not been updated in over a year so I cannot recommend it as is.
Fun and straightforward
I hope the game continues to receive updates and support!

Great game development, amazing card game
Nice deck builder game.
- The card Freeze is bugged. It gives no armor, but only deals damage to me.
- The game is missing some event chambers, like a place to delete or upgrade a card. Only over the shop feels not enough.
+ Interresting game mechanic. I like this kind of games. Growing challenges and different tactics.
Support the indie devs!

<3 thank you!!
Essential deck builder
A few ways this one hits different:
1) The pocket mechanic. As novel as it is essential — it rounds out unlucky draws and creates some really rich interactions, while not overwhelming the basic formula.
2) Character classes were a nice introduction to the genre, but on some level, they’re fundamentally about which cards you start with. Gorathar says “Screw character classes. Here’s 20 different starting decks and corresponding cardpools, showcasing a diversity of archetypes, and associated with levels of increasing enemy difficulty.”
Really well done, that.
The levels are bite-sized, completable in under an hour. This enables a design space where Gorathar has the freedom to have enemies contribute persistent curses to your deck. Also, the shorter levels makes the tension of HP attrition a more effective part of the experience.
The enemy art is solid and the protagonist animations are unusually compelling, but there’s not much here otherwise to immerse you, aesthetically.
Pick it up. It’s quite good.
Solid
I love the pocketing mechanic, as simple as it may be.
But, I’m left wanting more: there doesn’t seem to be a great deal of content. I understand it is a new game though and am excited to see what comes next (unless it’s ads or daylight robbery).
Response from developer
Haha thank you!! Don't worry, no ads or robbery coming. I'm working on adding more cards. Two more characters, each with their own mechanics and cards. More enemies. More levels. More interesting power ups.

Do NOT support devs like this
Response from developer
Hey Vlouie, thanks for writing a review. I'm so sorry about the bugs. I do a lot of testing before releasing, but I'm doing this by myself (can't afford to hire people for that) and I can't catch them all. I'd love to know exactly what you encountered so I can fix it. Could I convince you to send me an email (support@guayabagames.com) or join the discord (linked in app) so you can tell me more? "watch an advertisement after each fight to actually have a chance to win" - you're right that watching ads makes the game go from "very hard", to "still hard". I actually really hate ads, so I didn't want to include them in the game at all. But it was the only way I thought I could offer the game for free and still get at least something to pay the bills. Curious for your perspective, would it be better if I removed ads altogether and instead made the game free only for the first few levels? "This game isn’t close to being complete and it’s just a blatant cash grab" - I'm sorry the game came across this way. You're right that I'm not done with it yet though. I'm determined to get to the point that it doesn't come across like this for anyone.
