The game is incredibly well made and at a level of polish that I havn’t seen from a lot of entries.
My main gripe is the randomness of it all really kills pretty much all strategy one could have. Maybe I’m just bad at the game? But I struggled to come up with any sort of strategy that actually produced results. Whether it’s going all pawns, or using special pieces, etc it’s a really big struggle to juggle the card randomness AND the chess piece randomness WHILE dealing with the countdown. I know that’s kind of the point but it feels frustrating.
Regardless, the art and audio are such a good blend for a game like this. I really want to see this game with some balance reworks cause it looks so freaking cool. I think theres a lot of really cool ideas here. Keep it up.
