Inscryption

I fw this game heavy, never really been too into card games but this is really fun and interesting

Great game, A LOT harder once you beat Act 1.

I came expecting a simple roguelike but got something way better than that. Definitely give it a try!

Genuinely one of the most entertaining games i've ever played, if you weren't a fan of card games before, you sure would be after this.

14 hours just on what I've been told is just the Act 1 minigame, which already feels like a great game in its own

Incredibly creative and easy to understand. The artstyle was awesome along with the mechanics 10/10.

I'm sure by now you're aware that this game is much much more than what it seems like on the surface, but even if you already know all the secrets of the game, it's still a worthy purchase! It still manages to be an excellent deck building roguelike, with an emphasis on more or less making your own cards over the course of the run. You do this by giving them powers from other cards, making all kinds of sacrifices to make them better in different ways, and finding different ways to make them work well with eachother. This allows there to be many intricate synergies between cards, since there's basically an infinite amount of cards in the game if you count for all possibilities!

So fun! Still entertaining after restarting over and over

I'm not super into card games, I'll be honest that is probably something avoid in terms of things to do on the computer. That being said, I LOVE THIS GAME. The art style is incredible and the game play overall keeps you on the edge of your seat.

If you are into spooky vibes, getting pissed off (just enough to run it back), and card games I guess too tap in.

Incredible story love the turn system and overall new player friendly difficulty

really cool game, nice gameplay, interesting story, no need to follow the arg to enjoy

Great game for it's meta-narrative. Also check out the ARG overview on youtube after finishing the game, it's quite interesting.

10/10 game, when i first purchased it I had no idea about the "extra" parts of the game...
The story is incredible.
Every variation of combat is very thought out and doesn't just recycle old features
I cannot recommend this game enough

Great game. Love the design, love the concept. Would definitely get the irl version for collection.

If you're planning to buy and play this game, try to avoid spoiders as they might ruin some fun moments. Playing this game without spoilers was a crazy experience, so like I said, AVOID SPOILERS AT ALL COSTS.

Without doubt you should play this game, could not recommend enough.

Just a fantastic game all round.

just finished my first playthrough!! i highly recommend this game mostly for its story but genuinely i had so much fun playing. i was not a fan of card games before inscryption but the mechanics were so much fun to learn and even losing battles just made me want to play more. the scribes are so fun!! great fun game :)

Before playing the game I was expecting the card game to be lackluster and the focus and fun to be on the mystery, but surprisingly the card game gameplay was absolutely great fun, and this is coming from someone who usually doesn’t enjoy card games, and not only that, the mysteries, story and lore were outstanding. Great game at all fronts.

Inscryption is one of my favorite games.
It has a great card game, lots of flavor, and fun progression beyond what you expect.
The essence of the game is that you have to make your deck overpowered through finding powerful cards and exploiting synergies.
Highly recommended!

Inscryption has been a game-changer for me! This gem brought so much joy and excitement to my gaming sessions that I can't help but rave about it. The blend of card game mechanics, captivating narrative, and dark, atmospheric art style kept me hooked from start to finish. Every twist and turn in the story left me wanting more, and I found myself deeply immersed in its world. I wholeheartedly recommend Inscryption to anyone looking for a unique, unforgettable gaming experience. It's a must-play!

This game is just super fun and goes way deeper into a rabbit hole than people may realize. People just see the cover or play it for a few minutes and assume its just a card game where you collect cards, fight bosses and die and when your done you just restart. But the game has multiple different sections and an underlying plot to unravel. Would highly recommend this game to everybody who is ok with slower paced games but loves a changing and really in depth story.

Really good campaign and postgame, three whole different modes across different parts of the main story, changing up the mechanics and how they interact with unique cards.

I fu*king love this game the ending and story was amazing and it was told through amazing gameplay and i cant recomend this game enough if you havent played it PLAY THE GAME

Probably one of the best "Deck builder roguelikes" out there, must-play for fans of the genre. Has great engaging narrative and meta-narrative, reminds me of ARGs a little. I Want more of this!

Inscryption is quite an experience, and I enjoyed a lot of it. Like many games of its kind, RNG plays a role in the gameplay, which can sometimes be frustrating when you don’t get the cards you need. However, the puzzle elements are engaging, and the story is intriguing. While there are only a handful of characters, the game doesn’t flesh them out too much, likely due to the nature of its narrative, but I didn’t mind that. Overall, it’s a unique and compelling game that keeps you hooked with its atmosphere and mystery."

This game was such a fun experience, I recommend going in spoiler free. Easily one of my favorite games of all time, please play if you love lore, dungeon crawlers, and storytelling

Absolutely wonderful! Everything about this game is brilliant! The mechanics, the story and lore, the music and sound design are all fantastic. Inscryprion is a Masterpiece!

This game has left me impressed multiple times. As someone who had never played a card battler game, I didn't really know what to expect.
For starters, for a game that may only look like a card game on the surface, I could've never imagined that it could hold such a rich storyline with the most interesting characters and lore you'll ever come across. The atmosphere and the soundtrack also helped boost the overall horror-feel of while playing through the story of Inscryption; a feeling so subtle yet so impactful.
I feel like they achieved exactly what they were going for while making this game, and the effort and creativity that you notice throughout the game perfectly depict that satisfying feeling of playing a from top to bottom polished game.
From start to finish, this game always kept me at the edge of my seat, planning every move, waiting for the story to unravel. I couldn't recommend this once in a lifetime game-experience more.

Easily one of the most novel and engaging card games I have ever played. It takes the roguelite formula and tells a fantastic story with it. Expect 3 games in one with a bonus endless mode if you choose to finish this.

It's an incredible game that you need to go in blind for.

What a strange game that was. It was good and interesting, but with all the meta game related to it... I dunno, it is more art than a game I think. And as an art, I do recommend it. Experience it, it is... it is... art.

The vibe was amazing and every part of the game expands on the card mechanics so it never feels dull.

I really enjoyed the first 3 hours of this game, but I will not be finishing the game. I think on sale for $10 or less that first three hours alone is worth it. People will cry about spoilers but buyers should be aware that the game will change DRAMATICALLY after you finish Act 1 and it will never be exactly like that first act again.

Amazing storyline

This game is very good. No real-time performance involved (so open to everyone), great immersion and overall just worth playing. It took me about 20 hours to get from beginning to end, but there are post-game challenges too

A cut above the normal rogue-cardlike-card-roguelike game, this game has moody atmosphere and some fairly unique mechanics that all come together for a very enjoyable experience. By clever strategy, you can create completely overpowered combinations of cards, and you can direct this to some extent by the nodes you decide to visit on the map.

The story and atmosphere are also worth mentioning, and the whole production is very well done. Worth the price easily in terms of dollar per hour entertainment. This game will no doubt help to further define the genre.

This game is super addicting for both the difficulty of if the challenges before and after the story, and the writing of the story itself. Had an absolute blast

One of the most unique and stylish gameplay & narrative experiences of my life. Don't let the deckbuilding aspect turn you away from this materpiece if you're not into it, this game is so much more than that.

I forgot to review this game, MY BAD!

Amazing game and story experience, i enjoyed the Kaycee mod infinite mode too but the story is where this shines. It won't fully make sense if you're not aware of some of the ARG and stuff outside of just Inscryption but wonderfully made game with so much polish and style you can't help but love it.

Amazing soundtrack, i go to sleep listening to Leshy's music.

It was one of those experiences that you won't forget. Beautiful atmosphere, creative story and gameplay. 10/10

Act I was SO good. Absolutely phenomenal atmosphere and got into some interesting deck building. Then it went downhill... I spent almost all of Act II going "will this ever turn out like Act I again?" Act 3 was nice being similar to Act I, but still kinda annoying as there were flaws like going too meta. some flaws the fingers covering the damage amount or just the fact that I didn't expect to be stuck with the same deck 24/7 for the first time so it was annoying to build. Also disappointing there wasn't more after that with the other guys especially as I chose someone else? So that made it feel like Act 2 didn't matter at all. Also way too many mechanics later on with only one rule book that's hard to flip through, I still don't understand all the mechanics. It also felt way too in your face meta by the end with little payoff, I'm essentially watching a cutscene for several minutes and left at the end like "wait that's it?" none of your meta choices mattered it felt like to the point of in the end the guy says "you shouldn't touch this and you're going to". Also- extra mad there wasn't a magic arc because I really did like the students! They were the only thing I really got excited about in Act II and while we see them a bit in III i really wanted to have an arc at the school and take over or something! Those poor students! Overall I'd recommend this game to others solely by my love of act 1 but the rest didn't have the payoff I was hoping for, honestly I'd rather just dive more into Act I's world building than go meta if we're not gonna explore all the various 3D worlds

This game has "page turning ability". I was roped into its narrative very deeply. I yearned to get to the next checkpoint and plot turn throughout the game. It was very fun, and I thought the art was great! Special nod to Stoat.

Really creative game, so much more than a typical deck builder and really creative with some pretty interesting lore that goes deep. Highly recommend if you like deck builders.

its a good game in my opinion, i enjoyed the mechanics and game play,

Very interesting blend of a good card strategy and clever storytelling.

Was playing this game and wondering in the middle of it, why everyone was shouting from the roofs how good it was. I thought it was alright and all, until I got to the finale where it went from "good" to "holy crap" in like 5 minutes. Middle part of the game is definitely the weakest part of it, but it is worth it to push through.

The game itself constantly introduces new cards and mechanics, keeping it all fresh throughout. There were often points where I was baffled by yet another mechanic being introduced, with me going "how are you STILL not running out of ideas?!".

But the card battler aspect was just good, but not what made the game for me. Honestly the dev's shtick is the meta narration, story, and 4th wall breaking. In Inscryption he managed to somehow outdo himself once again, and jeez man that was something. It's one of those games that linger with you for a while after you finished them.

Also the presentation and atmosphere in this game is top notch. Many triple A games can't measure up to this.

Best game I ever played! The beginning gets you into a light horror mystery setting and introduces you to the mechanics of the main card game, which develops more and more over time. Without spoilering too much: There are multiple new worlds, art styles, characters and secrets to explore. At the same time, you start to collect pieces of the dark backstory of inscryption. U can find clues for minigames and videotapes with informations from the past. You try to fight yourself through this old game and in every world there are multiple unexpected surprises and interesting new ways of playing, leading you to a kinda dramatic end. Of course you can also grind for achievements and even if you complete the game without getting all of them, you still have the opportunity to get them without having to start from the beginning. Shortly said: Give it a chance and try for yourself :)

-review of my girlfriend

I'm just going to say it. This game is a masterpiece. Its not what you think it is, it goes so much deeper than what the store page makes it seem. Unfortunately i didn't go into this game blind, but i still loved it. The game is super fun, pretty unsettling and scary at times, and has a really good story.

Intriguing setup, actually enjoyable gameplay.

Don't give up just because you're struggling, it's all about keeping on trying and exploring your different options. There is no better feeling than beating an enemy you've lost to for 4 runs in a row.

This game is simply a fantastic story, start to end, with fleshed out characters, fascinating relationships between said characters, and a super fun card game to boot. Each deck offers different mechanics, all of which are fun to mess around with. Truly, a great experience. Good game, Leshy. Good game indeed.
