Inscryption goes far beyond what it initially appears to be. The unusual combination of deckbuilder, roguelike and escape room becomes one of the most interesting experiences I've ever had. Despite the unbalanced disputes, the ritual theme and the intimidating setting are extremely competent, making us afraid to explore and proceed. The post-game is mind blowing, totally breaking expectations and raising the game even more.

Inscryption is an outstanding horror game that will keep you glued to your seat for your entire playthrough. The combination of horror and deck-building is perfectly utilised, making Inscryption the ideal game to play this spooky season.

Inscryption cannot be described. You must play the game in order to figure out what Inscryption really is, words are meaningless and useless in front of certain operas.

Inscryption is excellent; at the beginning of the game, you have a deck of cards that you improve as you progress through the campaign. At one point, the campaign will start again with other mechanics, and your package is not the same as it was. The campaign is also somehow different, but it still acts as an Inscryption. What's happening? I'm taking off my hat.

Inscryption is overflowing with ideas, skilfully combines a few completely disparate genres, tells a gripping story with atmosphere so thick you could cut it with a knife and to top it off, it manages to be a fun and tight roguelite deckbuilder.

Nintendo Switch users are in luck with the release of Incryption. Danield Mullins' game is quite an experience that will really surprise us and blow our minds, with very unexpected twists and a concept of a metagame or game within a game taken to an unexpected limit for any player. As a card game it also complies, but we say from now on that this playable part is just one more part of the intricate narrative born from the mind of a madman or a genius.

There could be an argument it outstays its welcome, and I’d understand that as a criticism, but personally, the ambition and invention put into the ever-expanding nuttiness on display in Inscryption makes this a forgivable sin. Inscryption has breezily waltzed into the game of the year conversation for me thanks to its ever-changing blend of folk horror-infused card-battling, dark humor, and its increasingly strange, yet compelling story.

Inscryption may not reinvent the card gaming genre, but it is filled to the brim with great ideas and the usual twists of a David Mullins game. If you enjoy a spooky atmosphere as well as deckbuilding definitely check this out!

Inscryption attracts players with a Roguelike card-based feature, which has both gameplay depth and interesting card combat holding player's curiosity. When players become immersed in the game, the game shows a subversive change and it is quite different from what you thought the game was in the first look of the game. This experience is difficult to replicate and gave me a deep impression.

At its base it’s a deck-building strategy with disturbing vibes, and from there it continues to surprise

Those who are willing to face and overcome this challenge will surely be awarded with a great mix of roguelike, escape room and deckbuilder. Besides that, Inscryption has several layers and secrets, managing to surprise at almost every moment.

A work of devilish cleverness that's both a mockery and celebration of collectible cards games and an increasingly disturbing horror story about the cost of victory.

Inscryption is an excellent deck-builder that fades after an astonishing start.

‎Fun, addictive and mysterious. It superbly mixes concepts from card games with roguelike and escape rooms. A continuous surprise that sneaks among the most interesting independent games of the year.‎

Inscryption turned out to be a small surprise, an indie title that breaks the rules of card games offering players something more elaborate and exciting, by adding in a mixture of roguelite, puzzle and horror. A pity that the game has no voiceover: it would have made its particular setting feel even more alive.

Inscryption is a great card battler, but to even call it that sells what is a truly unique experience short. If you're at all interested in what else it has to offer, close this webpage, boot up your PS5, and buy the game. Keep yourself in the dark. You're better off for it.
