Alright so I finished the banshee with a warrior using rust bucket deck. The game finished a paywall emerged and I will note my findings here. - amazing strategy game, with fluent animations. - undo button is helpful to keep things fair-ish. My dislikes ; - sometimes character would autoattack an enemy into oblivion, the character would die. Just because I pressed twice? Why is this possible? - 3 beats on a boss, bit excessive in my book. - the room leave penalties when encouraged suck.

Unsure if the game is balanced well in the 2nd tower. You can enter an easier room with 10 items (2 armor cards, 8 attack cards) and simply not have enough damage to clear the floor. You backtrack & take a penalty: now you roll 7 attack cards and 3 armor cards, and you still don't have enough damage to clear the floor (I need 89 damage to kill mains, and 3 additional hits for coward mobs; I only have 69 damage to work with). Feels bad to focus on weapons + damage upgrades and still fall short.

Balancing a game is always tricky, and I won't claim the game is easy. But there's one thing I'd like to add: the monster deck is persistent between rooms of a floor. So if you don't defeat many monsters in room 1 and 2, there will be a lot left in room 3. Too many in your example. Maybe you know this already, I just wanted to clarify :)

Excellent gameplay, quality, and price! Interesting mix of card and tile strategy game where your positioning and interactions on the tile board have to be considered with each turn. Neat mechanics like shoving enemies off the board to damage them and reshuffle them into the enemy deck to deal with later. A full tower run can be very time consuming, but saves your last moves frequently so you can come back at any time. Love the game!
