Other than this, I had no frame rate issues and the game performed smoothly. I won the battle but the battle arena didn’t open up and the game continued to act like I was in battle mode until I reset the game. Once where I think I stumbled into a side quest battle before completing the appropriate parts before getting to it. There’s actually two points where the game froze for me. I explored a lot and got up close to a lot of things just to see what they’d look like, and the visuals have a lot of detail and never disappointed. I will add there were no parts with bad graphics, the game genuinely looked amazing throughout. The only part that really bothered me was the battle not letting me finish because battles can be time consuming and it was frustrating having to reset, especially when the game is exclusively auto saved so I had no way of knowing when the last save was.” This happened during the first hour of the game and then stopped. For example before the screen went black, a couple of assets would stay on the screen before disappearing. In the early parts of the game, it would sometimes be a bit jumpy in the transition to the loading screen. In both cases I reset the game and tried the exact same thing again to test it and got the same results both times. I won the battle but the battle arena didn’t open up and the game continued to act like I was in battle mode until I reset the game.Īnother time was when I tried to open my map in a certain area and the game completely froze (it’s really not an area the map would be needed, I was just curious what it would look like). “There’s actually two points where the game froze for me. I just responded to someone else about performance so I’ll just paste the reply here: I’ve just spent three days completely immersed in it and I’m sad it’s over. If you’ve been on the fence about this game, I highly recommend getting it. It told the story it wanted to tell and then it ended. But I’m overall happy the game was short because it’s refreshing for a game to have a simple story that doesn’t try to have constant twists or artificial moments or something too complex.

The concept is really interesting to me, and I love the aesthetic of it- not just the art style but the whole concept of this fairytale dice world. I wish the game was longer because I’d love to spend some more time in the world it created.

The Queen is a brilliant villain, I love her aesthetic, and actually all the main bosses of each world were memorable and looked amazing! Especially the boss of world 2, I loved him. The battling was a lot of fun so it didn’t matter too much, and the fact that the game was quite short meant they didn’t outstay their welcome, but I would’ve liked to see less reuse of the same enemies.īut basically I loved this game! The art style is beautiful throughout, and especially towards the end there were some incredible looking areas. I also had the same issue with the enemies- I would’ve liked to see more different designs. But that’s just a small complaint from someone with almost 500 hours on slay the spire, I live for deck building! It would be nice if there were more cards, or maybe upgrades for existing cards. I think around halfway through the game I had already unlocked every card, so I had to just keep buying duplicates.

I just wish it had a little bit more refinement. The battle system was possibly my favourite part, I loved the idea of a deck builder mixed with real time combat, and it didn’t disappoint. The characters were weird and loveable, and there’s some genuinely funny moments too. I was engaged with the main story, and went out of my way to do all the side quests as I wanted to learn more about the world. The story has a lot of depth to it without being needlessly complicated, and there was never a point where I felt like it was being unnecessarily dragged out. But even so I think it’s worth playing and I had a great time with it. And there’s no replayability that I can see. It only took around 20 hours to beat and that was taking my sweet time.
