Honestly ngl I kinda frickin' love this game. The aesthetic is great and the gameplay is a blast. I like the character designs and even if you used ai art it doesn't look bad and the style is the same throughout.
Here are some points of feedback I have for you so far:
1: My boy, the goblin, is playing on hard mode. The Kitsune is SO much stronger than him straight out the gate and as far as I can tell ongoing. Even his evolved forms (never seen tier 3 so can't speak to it). I haven't been able to clear a single run with him and when I get frustrated of getting my ass kicked I go play the kitsune (which I can usually full-clear with). I'm of course NOT suggesting you nerf the kitsune, he's so much fun to play, but definitely the goblin needs a beefy boost to equal him.
2. The "curse" debuff is incredibly overpowered. It's super hard to remove and having it last until the enemy is beaten rather than a turn limit is awful. The cleansing potions are nowhere near common enough to make up for it.
3. Similarly, the thorns buff is, at least on the enemy side, very overpowered. Running into a single thorns enemy as the tricktail is a pretty much guaranteed run ender. The fact that the thorns reflect the tricktail's special damage is actively so mean and impossible to counter.
4. On mobile the text is way too small. It hurts my eyes straining to read. There needs to be a setting for that.
5. The language of the cards needs a bit more consistency.
6. Both characters definitely need more cards to keep runs interesting and to give a variety of build options.
7. I'd like a bit more lore in the enemies and world. As a storyteller, I was a little surprised at how little story it seems to have. I was also surprised at how few of the enemies seem to connect to the lore/mythologies that you often cover in your stories.
8. The 2 and 3 cost cards are mostly not worth taking up multiple glyph slots. I think they could use a bit of a buff to feel worth it.
To end on more positives: The animations are nice. I'm super looking forward to both the ghoul and the full version. I appreciate that the app's size is VERY reasonable. I love the evolution system too! I think the system of the glyphs is VERY cool. I definitely hope the full version will be a biiit more polished and balanced but honestly I'm having such a good time playing this game (even if it's only when I'm the kitsune lol). I really hope you keep working on this! There's so much potential here and I definitely think there's good potential for more characters too.
