Thank you so much for your review, Ed!!!

And yeahhh we know about the discard pile bug, we're working on it :D

[exocitus]

The only grip I have so far with the game is not being able to customize my character, is not something that would make me not recommend the game or drop it but is a little of a let down (even if they never promised that and I already knew about it before going into the game).

[Ss-ordq]

if you're not into farming, like battling and exploring, and now appreciate the beauty of card style attacks and such, might i recommend Slay the Spire. its a tower based attacker game where you lone ranger into the tower as one of 3 or 4 different character classes (i don't remember how many sorry) and pick a route on the map for each tower level. its got the card style fights with turns and energy levels just like this. this game actually reminds me a lot of Slay the Spire. Also has some crazy combinations like how you mentioned.

[tweezy]

I just want cassette beast 2 already. That game was sooo good.

[Klayht]

Great vid as always Ed, I am barely 2-3 hours into the game so far and it is nice to know I do not have to make a mega farm or force myself to socialize.. :D

[rune]

I agree. This game would've been amazing if it had ability animations to the cards. Is the one thing that's killing it for me.

[lachlanbaker]

Thank you so much, this is an amazing game and you're the perfect person to bring these beautiful games into the spotlight. I started watching your videos when you were posting your videos of anitons and kindred fates analysis and its been awesome to watch your editing get better and your subscriber count grow. I'm a big fan, and I hope the grind your on helps you grow even further!

[Chris-wjpn]

Ed, I really love and respect the way you are so open with your preferences & biases and speak to them when reviewing games. Great video as always!

[damonwhalen]

yu-gi-oh? that looks like slay the spire

[TheDtzcrptr]

this is something ive always thought is dumb. in monster taming games, say you have a water monster. why not make it so the crops you have can be watered faster or automatically by your creature? if by taming more monsters you could farm more efficiently then its a win win

[riotkitty]

It looks very cute, I think I might get this sometime when I’m not broke aha. The Sprite art in particular reminds me of Gen 3 Pokémon and Link’s Awakening remake(but pixelated instead of 3D), and also of Stardew Valley with the portraits of the characters and general UI. The travel mechanics & some of the creatures do remind me a bit of Pokémon but some are more crazy cause I saw a beach ball with sunglasses which is funny. Also the card system reminds me a bit of Wizard 101 which is an interesting combination of stuff in the game.

What makes me sad about this game is that there's hardly any decoration for the outside of our house.

[codyrice]

Personally I'm not a fan of the lack of evolutions but I'll 100% pick it up if/once they get added because everything else about the game is very good

[lucykaede]

It would be nice if the game was zoomed in a bit more or character/monster models were bigger both in battles and overworld. Personally can't enjoy the art much when I can barely see the game.

[jeancarlodelaluz]

I mean we barely have any attack sprites in Yugioh master duel 😅
Little by little we're getting some but for spells and traps.
I'll be enjoying this game cause it's a mix of things I like.
Yugioh, pokemon and slay the spire.

[Saucyshire]

Yeah I don't know... Normally you have a primary game element you focus on. Pokemon is all about catching and fighting with pokemon, stardew valley is about the farm care and social elements that come with it. If you try to mix both of them, which one is suppose to be the primary focus? I've seen games mix and match like this before, and they usually end up being an unfocused mess that doesn't do either to a satisfying degree.

[CreativelyJake]

in terms of farming, i played the demo and im.
honestly, i think stardew is the only game where i genuinely enjoy the farming a lot . it gives me a lot of joy and dopamine to farm in stardew.

[ShadowEclipex]

Tried the demo, it'd pretty fun, but I too wasn't drawn in by the farming and social aspects.

[notinthemd]

This game is criminally underrated. Growing up with pokemon and Yu-Gy-HO, and loving the old harvest moon and more recent Stardew valley, this game really hits the spot for me. Only wish there were more games like this.

[BerryQueen-yrod]

I just bought it and the dlc. For 23. I am super excited about it.
