  The good. +4 Players multiplayer sessions +Co-op +Beautiful pixel art design +Very good alternative to the real game +Newbie friendly The bad -Confusing UI -Repetitive music -Bugs that may ruin your game -Zero interaction with players ingame -Only one meta game mode avalible. Overall a fun little game based on a card game that i own and it does itself justice. However as this ''Early access'' then i have no further things to say other than it needs to improve.

  Disliked: - Game gets stuck during tutorial and randomly during gameplay - Crashes - Wouldnt let me play Spell Cancel on Jeopardy - Doesn't usually show what spells opponents use on you so you don't know what is going on - Issues with selecting/dragging cards in boss area - Less than 50% of games are playable to completion without encountering bugs Liked: - General idea of game - Lets you play against AI Thoughts on publishers: - Was meant to be finished in 1 month, is now many many months later - Publishers have released paid expansions despite excessive glitches in the basic game Conclusion: This is a buggy game that the publishers appear to have given up on but released anyway in order to make a few bucks. I predict this game will never pass QA. Save your money.

  This game will be really great...when it's less buggy. The game play is great. I have the paper version of this game and love it. And we have the Kindle Fire version of this game, which I play with my kids. The problem is multiplayer. Of maybe ten games we tried to play, we finished two without "an unexpected error has occurred" messages ending the game early. At this point I'd recommend you wait until this comes out for real. Early Access means what it says, this time around.

  It seems most of the negative reviews have to due with performance issues while it was in early access. So far I haven't encountered any bugs, it seems to run pretty smoothly. Having never played the tabletop version, I had to play through a few times to figure out the rules since the tutorial doesn't seem to be complete. Though I did discover the link to the manual -----> was very helpful. Having said that, I'm impressed with the game itself. Don't be fooled by it's somewhat silmple appearance, there is a lot of strategic depth and replayability.

  Despite all negative reviews, the game works perfectly fine for me. No crashes, correct effects on the cards, all expansions working, so overall enjoyable! I am a big fan of the board game and this version comes for a ridiculous price in comparison. Top notch even in its early access version!

  I didn't play the board game, but so far I really enjoy the video game version. To be honest, it is easier for me to find friends with whom I can have a video gaming night than a board gaming night, especially when the game can be played online. I payed the game less than 2$ a few nights ago and already played much more than I would have in a year with a board game, and it's only the beginning! This game is all about managing your cards well, and you will rarely find yourself in a situation in which you can do nothing. There's always a way to catch up other players. There are a two majors flaws: -The tutorial is incomplete and you will learn a lot of rule on the spot, but that's ok. In a video game, I expect to learn a bit of the game every time I play it; in a board game, this would be frustrating, and I would blame the owner of the game for not explaining the rules clearly. -There's a timer for every action. It's there to make sure every players had the time to read the card (be it a spell or a room ability) so they can themselves play a card to counter it. It's annoying, because some periods are way too short (for example, when you have to choose what five out of seven cards you will keep at the beginning of a match) but some others last too long and can't be skipped. For example, when a hero advances in a dungeon, it waits a few seconds in every room. If no other player has a (useful) spell to play, there's no point in seeing this. If this could be skipped, especially in single-player mode, it would be wonderful. The first problem gets better as you play more and learn more about the game. The second problem is pretty annoying, but the issue with "too short" phases probably will diminish as I know the cards more, and the issue with the "too long" phases will probably remain an issue, but eh, in the end, it still goes faster than in real life, without all the computation and shuffling to do. Also, the developers listen to the players and make improvements on the game based on their feedback, so there's hope that it will change. So far, every matches I had was interesting, and it was all close victories (unlike a certain Munchkin...).

  This is a great tabletop-to-PC card game. Yes, this game is also a tabletop game. I have the tabletop game and it's a great product. Basically you play a dungeon boss, not a hero. Your job is to lure heroes with treasure and build rooms in your dungeon to destroy those heroes. If you succeed you gain a soul. If the hero makes it through your dungeon you gain a wound. Also you're competing with another dungeon boss. Whoever has the most souls wins. Because you're competing with another boss you can try to boost the heroes in you opponent's dungeon with spells to help them get through and cause your opponent to get a wound. This game is turn-based so you get to set up your cards before any action happens. Some of the card abilities can be used as the heroes are going through your dungeon. This game isn't complicated. It's easy to learn and the tutorial makes it easy to understand. [i]In case you still don't see how this is a card game: Each room, hero, spell, treasure, etc are cards. Think of Hearthstone or Magic the Gathering except it's not a card battle game. It's a stragegy game. You pick a card, it has a discription and you play by those instructions.[/i] [b]Pros:[/b] Fun to play, easy to learn. Each round isn't too long. Single and multiplayer. Retro graphics. Music. Cheap price. Has expansion packs. Is also a tabletop game! [b]Cons:[/b] None that I can think of.

  I love the card game and own it with all the expansions, however the steam version is buggy and not worth the money. -Gameplay moves slow to give the player a chance to interrupt but there is no skip feature unless you turn gameplay to fast where you don't get a chance to interrupt at all. -Certain card effects wont kick off at all leaving your plans ruined. -The UI is terrible and clunky -Rules expalnations are almost non-existant and the only way I could play was from knowing how to play the actual card game. If they update the game and fix the bugs it could be a truly awesome game, instead it's an almost unplayable mess.

  I see a lot of complaining that the game is slow, mostly from people who have never played the card game before. The reason that there's a pause while the heroes are moving through each room of your dungeon is because it gives the other players about 3 seconds to decide if they're going to interfere with your dungeon and play cards against you. Spell cards and certain rooms can only be played if certain conditions are met, so sometimes you need 3 seconds to realize your room can activate. So it's not a flaw of the port, it's an inherent rule in the gameplay. That said, this port is not perfect. I have not experienced UI issues like others have mentioned, but I might also be less annoyed since I've played the card game and know my way around after a few runs with the AI. Bottom line is - if you enjoy the physical card game then you will like it. If you're looking for a fast paced card game, this isn't it. You need to think through your choices, try to tailor your dungeon to attract certain heroes, mess with your opponents and try to stop them from scoring points, and try to setup combos and place rooms optimally. That's called strategy.

  Regret my purchase. seemed more like a buggy flash game, and not a lot of time to make choices for new players. How come you cannot set turn times? Not very good for multiplayer either.
