Played an hour of this game and it's just very "bland". All the cards are the same, all the monsters don't have any personality or style. Nothing really interesting about it and feels very cheap.
It's like a hilariously broken STS. I was looking for something in the mold of STS, but this... really isn't it. Basically, if you're any good at games like these, you will break open the game on your first run due to its amazing lack of balance. My first character, at the time I stopped playing forever, was breezing through the game with relics that:
Stunned every enemy, even bosses, for 6 turns at the beginning of every battle.
Started enemies taking 110% damage.
Started enemies with 7 poison.
Started enemies with 7 incineration (fire poison).
Gave me absurd defense every turn without playing defense cards.
It's awful. It's really awful. Don't buy it. If you're looking for something a bit like slay the spire that isn't totally stupid, maybe try Neoverse. That's still under development as well, but it's fun to play and promising.
It just copy and paste "Slay the Spire", made the graphics worse and is ways to easy. All in all this game is a rip off and is really no fun to play. I really tried to give this game a chnace but it is just..... bad.
with kind regards
an demotivatetd gamer
Its one thing to blatently rip off a games concept almost step for step (slay the spire), but at least make sure your game works... constantly bugs out after a fight on the loot screen essentially crashing the game, no way to progress or exit other than hitting alt+F4. This game is most likely already abandoned and I reccommend staying away from this one.
This is certainly a copy of slay the spire. There seem to have been too much work put into this to simply call it a cash grab but in it's current state there is no way I can recommend the game. I'll list my main issues below,
1. There doesn't seem to be any interesting synergies. One thing that makes these kind of card games fun is synergies between relics and cards (using slay the spire terminology). This game seems to have none.
2. Horrible balance issues in multiple areas.
- It's just super easy to become incredibly OP
- The paths the game generates are completely imbalanced (one path may have 2-3 treasures + 2-3 bonfires while the other path is mostly fights)
- No real interesting cards. Just deal more damage, defend, heal or more mana or buff cards that buff the same stats.
- I had easier battles later on in an act than earlier on, as in same enemies just fewer of them.. why?
3. UI is a copy of slay the spire just worse
- You can't really view your cards
- When you get a potion you can't replace your old ones, if you have full potion slots then you just can't take it.
- You can't see what card upgrades will do before you upgrade
- The UI actually locked up for me which ended my run since I couldn't do anything.
In short I see one (or more) of three things being wrong with this game,
1. It's a cash grab ?
2. It's way too early for this game to release into early access, it needs a lot more work.
3. The developer has no idea what makes games like these good and just tried to copy slay the spire.
I'm hoping it's number 2 because another good slay the spire like game would be nice, however I am refunding this for now as I suspect it may be number 1 / 3.
Unfortunately did not even get a chance to play, game would go to start up screen and when pressed play would just crash. It's a shame because the game looks really nice graphically and was excited to play another game similar to slay the spire.
Crashes when I hit play in the game. The developer hasnt responded to a thread with a dozen people with the same issue. Refunding before my 2 weeks are up.
Very unbalanced, needs a lot of work!

Review:
I have been looking forward to more deck builder rogue-likes to appear on the steam store, this one is most definitely not what i wanted though...
First of all, i haven't played it very long, usually i set a limit for me to play atleast 2 hours at minimum before judging a game but the reason i stopped playing it, is because the developer of this game does not know how to balance a game whatsoever.
First run through i play, i get multiple relics which lets me stun/freeze and give tons of damage over time at the start of the game, this means the enemy isn't able to do anything at all against me because they simply aren't allowed to before they die, removing all challenge there is in the game and no this isn't just that i got lucky with my cards and relics.
You get a lot of relics throughout just running up one floor, most of the stuff you get seems to have the effect "at the start of the game", stuns/freezes, regeneration, damage over time, shields, more mana and so on, so you aren't playing a deckbuilding rogue-like, you are playing a relic hunter rogue-like that plays the game for you, if you can even call it a rogue-like anymore, because somehow they managed to remove the whole rogue-like feeling to these games aswell, even though it seems to be trying so hard to be the next "Slay the Spire", it actually fails at the job by a lot.
Now, i've gone over how bad the relics are balanced in this game, but don't even get me started on the cards, compared to how strong they are, the mana cost is waaaay to small, just letting me throw these overpowered cards at the enemy giving me a free win every time, lets make an example, for 1 mana you get a card that deals 15 dmg and also lets you draw 2 cards, actually its bugged so you only draw 1 card even if it says you should draw 2... or we could take this example instead, 1 mana 9 damage to all monsters, i could go on forever making examples, but i'm not gonna do that, just think about what those cards can do together with them not being able to do anything for 2-6 rounds as you enter a fight everytime you do so because of the relics.
Also, let me just put this out there, in a very short time i got over 1k gold from just killing monsters as i go up the floor, all these relics cost around 100 - 200 gold, so it is very easy to get a hold of these relics through the shop that you can easily get to and just get these relics that play the game for you.
It is unbalanced, it has no risk factor and no challenge to it, it could have been great, but it really isn't.
Instead of making their own touch on the deckbuilding rogue-like genre, they decided to make it as similar to "Slay the Spire" as they could and still get away with it, if they were gonna take inspiration from it, the first thing they should have looked at, is why "Slay the Spire works like it does in the first place, I do not recommend this game in its current state at all, it is Early Access, but somehow i get the feeling its not gonna get any better over time and ill probly refund my copy of it.
What i can do, is give some recommendations on some other games in the same deckbuilding rogue-like genre, so i think you should go check out "Slay the Spire" and "Fate Hunters".

Pros.
- Character & class customization, always love those
Cons.
- This game has multiple bugs and very misleading texts on cards, relics, buffs/debuffs
- You can get the same relics from chests that you have already received, meaning you get no new relic for clearing bosses etc.
- No balance in cards and relics compared to enemies, enemies has no chance against you at any point, the game basicly plays itself for you with you doing a few clicks here and there
- Only thing unique about the monster you face throughout the dungeon is looks and health points, they have no special attributes to make them unique, they have nothing that makes them more challenging over other monsters, they are just there for you to throw cards in their faces

During my ~30 minutes of playing, I broke the game. Freeze spells are incredibly overpowered, to the point where I only received damage maybe 2 or 3 times during the whole run. Finishing a level started resetting the stage, causing the entire map to be regenerated from the beginning. Treasures(Relics) got hard capped at a surprisingly small amount, 19 or so, meaning I was no longer able to pick up more after fights. However, the merchant would still take away my gold if I tried to buy one.
Despite all these gamebreaking bugs I ran into on release, there hasn't been a shred of communication from the creators. Not one post in the forum, not one announcement in the news feed. When you release a game to the public that is very clearly not even functional, it's very important to keep communicating in the first few days and make clear it's a work in progress and that progress is being made. The creators have not done this, so I'll be refunding this game after waiting days for any sign that they cared about the state of their product.
TLDR: Broken game, zero communication or even any sign work is in progress. Creating a very shady combination when you also consider how much of a rip-off this is of other popular card-based games. Stay away.
Im not against people taking a concept and making it into a genre, I hope we get more card based deck builder / roguelite hybrids.
This, however, is a lazy cash grab, with little to no balance that is buggy as all hell and barely even works. The devs are ghosts, probably not wanting to get talking about this obvious scam.
This shameless rip off is not even polished enough for early access.
Frequent crashes, countless bugs, completely unballanced easy steam roll.
This is a bad clone is a shamless money grab.
Don't buy this unfinished game. Slay the Spire is the same concept with good execution and balance. This game is unbalanced, easy as hell (when it works), and constantly freezing at reward screens which requires alt-f4 to close the program. Don't buy this game yet.
Game is not "polished" as developers have stated, even though it states Early Access. We all know this is a very similar variant of a game of another title. This game is very buggy and waaay too easy ATM. There has been a plethora of comments in the discussion boards addressing bugs and concerns, in which the devs have not even responded nor acknowledged. I could see if the game was free to play, I would understand any small delays in support - but we were charged in order to even "try" the game.
I have submitted for a refund. I cannot recommend this game at the moment in its current state.
Imo the concept for the character customization is great. I would just like to see more variety in cards. in my first run most of the cards I saw were very similar just had different attack values/status effects/defense values. I would love to see unique cards like slay the spire. I also would like to see more uniqueness in the classes you can choose from. in slay the spire, each character has a very unique playstyle. I would like to see this game do something similar, and in my opinion it could be better because you can mix and match different classes.
this game also needs to be balanced, but that is understandable cuz it's in early access. freeze is too op, for example I got a relic that froze all enemies for 3 turns at the start of each combat, and with not needing to worry about defense I killed 90% of people before they could even do anything. also imo the cards that steal health are also too op. I had bugs with potions(not being able to use them or pick anymore up).
I was hopeful for this game, it had lots of potential, but hasn't been updated once in over 4 months. Once its updated and balance ill change to a thumbs up
It's obviously "inspired" by Slay the Spire, which is a far better game at this point. This game has potential but I can't recommend it for purchase at this time since it has too many bugs. I haven't been able to finsh a playthrough because the game has "refreshed" the map after entering a few floors. Perhaps it will be playable soon.
Game needs significant improvement to actually be worth getting. Yes it is quite similar to slay the spire but still has potential to be good in its own way if the devs actually work on it.
Pros:
+ Character customization and magic type thing is pretty cool
+ art style isn't too bad
Cons (A lot):
- countless bugs including one that just takes you back to the start without facing boss
- Relics are op, enemies get stacked with a ton of debuffs and its not possible to lose
- cards are uninteresting and you don't have to think much at all
- fights have no interesting mechanics and all feel the same
- enemies don't scale at all
- recieve too much gold
- fight same enemies over and over
Basically please spare yourself and do not buy this game right now. Stick to slay the spire for a good rougelike card game
complete ripoff of "slay the spire" with a reduced price compared to them to bait people here.
played one run - refunding now and staying away from this dev.
This game is a blatant copy of Slay the Spire that in its current state is not even remotely close to being on the same level. Granted, I understand the game is still Early Access, but it completely lacks balance in terms of gameplay. Aside from that, there are plenty of very noticeable bugs ranging from trivial issues to critical blockers as well as unfinished UX and UI elements. This may be worth a play a few months down the road, but I would definitely hold off until the development team fine tunes the game. Undoubtedely, in its current state, you will find yourself comparing Spellrune to Slay the Spire (the original and premier game in this genre)... which will leave you majorly disappointed.
Shameless rip off of a good game - slay the spire. This game is utter trash.
It copied all of the following from Slay the Spire:
- layout
- GUI
- Map format
- post battle rewards
- elixers/potions
- relics
- enemy intent
- upgradable cards
- mini bosses
- shop (and layout)
- fireplaces
- question marks
The only thing "new" they add is instead of 3 characters to choose from, you get to choose 1 of 3 offensive types, and 1 of 3 defensive types. Technically this accounts for 9 combinations, but they don't really add much.
The cards and characters aren't nearly as deep, they are just the same thing with slightly better stats. The enemies are all basically the same. The game is slow and buggy. Mine crashed right before the boss (I wanted to see if they added anything unique to the boss gameplay before I uninstalled).
EDIT: SO 24 hours no news. No patches or anything. The game is completely broken in mechanics and with bugs i refunded. It's sad I was looking forward to another sts game.
