It's an uncomfortable and paradoxical feeling, in my case (I like that it's a closed game, but I'd also like it to be infinite), but I have a feeling it's also a good sign: I won't be uninstalling Slay the Spire, that's for sure, but I can imagine playing Mahokenshi until Steam's hour counter reaches three figures as soon as the context is right.

Mahokenshi offers well executed tactical card battles, but it's a bit of a shame that the game is a bit light on content and only offers one campaign.

I really couldn’t fault Mahokenshi. For me, it sits firmly in the midground of deck builder titles. It isn’t difficult to pick up and the mechanics are easily understood. At the same time, it is also not as in-depth as some of the other titles currently on the market. This makes it really easy to pick up and enjoy from the start, it is pretty much self-explanatory after the tutorial. It provides various gameplay elements and customisation if that’s what you are looking for, but it’s also just a pickup-and-play. I award Mahokenshi a Thumb Culture Platinum Award.

Those that love Mahokenshi will adore the fully realised blend of deck-building and digital board game, but will forget the threadbare mythological Southeast Asian theming.
