Story 3/5 You are a single fighter in a turn-based card game stepping up the Spire where a boss fight is on its top and everything in between can be intricate mini story or another enemy encounter, merchant or campsite. The ministories are mysterious and usually force you to change. They are plenty but after a few runs you know what to expect of one you encountered and the experience will remain the same with only different tradeoffs that make each run a unique difficulty on its own. Gameplay 5/5 You can start off with 1 hero later unlocking additional 3, each having dedicated cards and playstyle. 1st is a high damage dealer, doesn't have reliable defense or debuffs. 2nd is debuffer and persistent in surviving, while gaining a lot of usage points. 3rd one has passive action slots and is pretty defensive while dealing stable damage after filling up orb slots. 4th uses offensive stance for strength attack while calming herself because that makes the hero more vulnerable. She gains a high damage state as she collects 10 mantras. You can unlock 5 more things after gaining enough experience for each individual, not instant improvements. At start, you have basic attacks and block cards with few skills and powers. You upgrade, receive, exchange, buy, spend them in battle, they require a certain amount of energy to use them that resets each round or even increases, you can multiply their effects. One successful run took me 2 hours 30 minutes. The ending wasn't anything special but to get there, it was a great challenge. Each run can be quite unique and you can encounter new enemies and different bosses and gain different card setups, relics. Final score is calculated by how much you gathered during the game and how much you progressed. Replay value 5/5 Graphics and sounds 4.5/5 I'm satisfied by visuals, music, sounds, though animations are rather simple but that is not a complaint. How many hours to complete 2 and more How difficult Challenging. It gets hard pretty early and you need to manage your path and health. Verdict 9/10
