Great prototype, big fan of the roguelike deckbuilding elements and the idea of sharing energy between movements/attack/defense.
It might be nice to give some benefit to passing a turn or ending with excess energy, because a lot of the time I ended up with no reason to actually do anything on a turn (ie moving would put me out of range or open me up to attack and I had no defense cards) and repeatedly passing turns waiting for attack cards is a little boring. I could be wrong though, maybe once encounters become more varied/fleshed out with more enemies and obstacles this wouldn't be a problem.
Thank you! Agreed that the gameplay could use some improvement here. One option is to have some passive modifiers that provide advantages from unused energy. But there are possibly other ways as well. Appreciate the detailed feedback :)
I really liked this game, it reminds me a lot of Into the Breach and the card bits of Inscryption. It's a very interesting concept! Can't wait to see the final product!
Thanks for your kind words. "Into the Breach" is a definite inspiration, along with "Slay the Spire" and "Alina of the Arena". Your feedback is motivating to work towards a full version :)
Really Enjoyed this!
the weighing out what will make me win this round vs how should I play to win over the entire campaign was really interesting! looking forward to seeing this evolve!
Glad to hear that you liked it :) Thanks for the feedback!
I really wanted to like the concept, but the design is clunky. For example, there's alot of movement cards, but once I got into position I didn't find myself wanting to move. It was usually easier or felt safer to sit and add more armor instead once my enemy was in sight and just wait for damage cards. I could see a design like this working for a game where you program tank actions using cards, but it's not there yet for a deck builder. Curious to see how it grows with new mechanics, maybe the final version will work perfectly as a deckbuilder.
Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate the points made here. A stay-in-place tactic is definitely something I would not want to encourage, atleast for most of the time. I initially had the enemy action points shared across movement and firing, which meant an enemy already in position would fire more times. This provided more incentive for the player to move, but in general made the game a lot harder. I'll consider this again, with other balancing changes. Thank you :)
