Battle, earn new cards and build your deck in this roguelite where your hand is your health: if you get hit when you don't have any cards, it's game over. If you prevail, however, you get to draft new cards for your deck before moving on to the next fight.

The Let's Try series is a way to preview / review games in order to get my first impressions through the first moments of gameplay.

When pickpocket steals a card, that card is a part of your deck for the rest of the battle. It denies that card from your opponent unless it gets stolen back, and given pickpocket costs 0, it may even give you something to spend your energy on when you otherwise couldn't.

"hand life" is a really cool concept. I played another tcg once with "timecasting". Instead of paying mana or action points, you could only play cards from your hand after a certain number of turns had passed since drawing it. Stronger cards had to sit in your hand for more turns. I feel like the two mechanics would combine really well.

I almost immediately went and got this game for myself after seeing a couple minutes of this video, and it's really interesting! I like the whole idea of being able to play almost whatever you want, but getting punished if you play too much at once. I'm slightly surprised no one else has thought of it yet.

[rustyknight]

Very elegant indeed. I rather like it.

i love how the final boss tried to set up on you, and then you kinda just chucked a bottle at them and they disintegrated

[oliver_twistor]

Cool idea to have the cards represent your life.

[VesperEm]

What an absurdly cool concept for a card game! I kind of love it

[greengrassgaming]

I haven’t finished the video but so far this game looks like a lot of fun

To explain the benefit of pickpocket:
The card system works like Slay the Spire where the graveyard shuffles back into the deck when you’re out of cards to draw.

Pickpocket straight up steals a card from them for the rest of the fight. With enough I pickpockets, they’d eventually die by virtue of not having any more cards to draw and having no protection from damage.

Huh. The adventurer is there to tell you what the boss is gonna be so you can prepare in advance.

[altrivotzck]

The mechanics are incredibly solid.
Using cards as health is almost like a no-brainer mechanic for a deckbuilder.
Now, it just needs refinement & art.

[FioreRed]

The Mechanics are extremely neat and honestly the simple presentation is nice. Id enjoy seeing a bit more

[ZlZSniPDZlZ]

Would be cool to see a mini series on this.

Also would love to see more Godsbane!

i watch you for over 2 years and i can't believe that i wasnt subscribed

Hey retromation inscryption had lots of updates since you were gone all the starter decks are finished, buffs and nerfs to some of the card sigils and rare cards and a secret modifier which I won’t tell you what it is till you play it.

[Kirby]

Is it me, or did Retro played something like this before? I feel like I’m having deja vu

[saulbetancourt]

when you like a video there’s a new little animation now

[StonedtotheBones]

Ok but the story-telling between rounds is actually fire too?

[nattsurfaren]

How can it be a rougelike if it only shows deck?
