I really like this game! The vibes are on point, the world map gives a classic feeling of going on an adventure,
and the strategy aspect makes it fun and interactive in a way that's makes it feel rewarding.
3 Gigachad Petes, the only true way to crush the final boss...
In all seriousness though, I must've played through this game like 50 times now! I never really knew that these kinds of games existed before this, am now going down the rabbit hole of deckbuilder games.
I'm just so inspired by your game that I'm going to make my own deckbuilder game now.
It's out here if you want to check it out, I ended up making a Bâan fangame:

I had to take out the random card loot and just give fixed loot at certain points
as it felt like it was hard to balance it properly with the weakness system I implemented.
But I still think this genre has a lot of potential and will be playing with some more of these mechanics in my next game.
