I'm a sucker for a card game, so its difficult not to like it. I also understand the complexity that card games bring so for 4 days of work, this was pretty nice, I'd love to see this game improve so heres some feedbacl:
- Currently the game is way too rng based, game strategy requires a good shop, and most of the time the shop is bad
- High mana cards are pointless because youll probably die if your deck has many of them in
- Keepers are probably the strongest card just because from round 1-3, its all you can play, and it gives good board dominance
- It seems like the ai cheats a bit and plays high cost cards for less, but also it always makes an optimal play, i rarely see it not fill the board with keepers and then follow up with strong cards
- Card placement is not too intuitive , primarily because theres no feedback for it
- Shop could use a shuffle button, i ended both my last runs with nearly +100 because high cost cards are bad to buy and would make me lose even harder
- The lack of audio is very unfortunate, even some music and ambience would do well
- Having no information of enemy cards is not so great, i recognise the card art but dont know the health or damage, taking away some strategy
- It would be great to have an explanation of how the game works on your itch page, i still dont fully understand the importance of placements, except that cards fight in matching lanes.
I hope this doesnt come across as rude, im just trying to give some good critical feedback, its a great starting point for a game!
