Words Can Kill
Words Can Kill is a fusion of roguelike deckbuilders and word games. But this game isn’t about your vocabulary. It’s about your decisions and resource management. You will travel through the fantasy world and fight monsters trying to find a more efficient way to use your letters and your gear.
Features
-
Indirect synergies. It’s hard to consistently use a powerful weapon that requires 6+ letters for bonus activation with a deck full of rare letters and without additional draw sources.
-
Plan your future turns. Are you ready for a strong enemy attack on the next turn? Don’t use words now, place your letter tiles on the board and wait. This way you can make multiple blocks on the next turn and defend yourself.
-
RNG management. Replace tiles in your hand any time you wish. But pay with your health.
-
Upgrade your deck. That tile with ‘Q’ poisons your life. Remove it from the deck on your next visit to the forge.
-
Easy to learn, hard to master. The game has simple mechanics but deep strategy. Only a true hero can save the princess!
-
Dozens of random enemies, random maps, 100 unique items. It’s still a roguelike, so yet another stupid death awaits.
The Amazing American Circus
Target Audience: Those Willing to Take the Lows With The Highs in Card RPGs
Summary:
This is a recommendation in essence, but for a specific subset of people.
I’m going to be straight up from the get go here: The Amazing American Circus is one of those games that I want to love up and down, but ended up being the biggest thorn in my side due to what happened during the review period. To say that I faced some of the worst bugs: specifically saved game bugs, in my review career would have been an understatement: I had 8 separate runs break wildly in that period where I could not continue to make progress. While those bugs seem to be fixed now, I have a form of PTSD at this point. Every time I play, I’m waiting for the game to break again. Hell, even the video I made had a major bug in it. There’s a reason I have around 40+ hours of gameplay without actually beating the game, and to say it hung over the experience would be an understatement to say the least.

This is not a Slay to Spire, this is not a Monster Train. The Amazing American Circus is not a roguelike-roguelite card game, it is more like a card game built around a campaign, with some management sim built around it, in which you need to cover the costs, upgrades etc from the incomes you get during the shows.
If you more curious about the game, and want to check a short, ~20mins long video in which I showing what content you could expect from the game with one circus show (card battle) included, then here is mine:

Primateria
Take a dive in a Card Game experience dipped in Roguelike and Deckbulding. Combine cards together to make them stronger, discover mysterious items imbued with magic, duel divine creatures, perform combos with infinite combinations and possibilities. Can you be the one to reach the surface?
Features
-
Disruptive Fusion System: playing cards in Primateria is more than just putting them on the table. Match the elements to play stronger cards and create powerful combos.
-
Deckbuilding: you are as strong as the synergy of your cards. Building a strong deck is the essence to defeat the most powerful opponents. Choose your cards wisely, build your combos and strategy, because your foes most definitely will.
-
Powerful items imbued with magic: discover incredible equipment, consumables and artifacts to aid you in your journey to the top. Combine your items with your deck to become even stronger.
Cards of Patience
Great game of Klondike/Patience (sort of) combined with simple random-generated Dungeon-Diving. You get thrown into a Solitaire type game in-progress against an enemy and have to discard from the Line into the Discard Pile all while managing items, potions and spells. Work your way through the dungeon to the boss. Don’t forget to keep upgrading your character after games, with the diamonds, because the bosses are not easy.
Only thing lacking is an in-game-progress Save feature though it does save your character development from game to game.
– Real player with 4.5 hrs in game
Solid rogue-lite card game.
You need some braincells to advance in this game - but this is what makes it worthwhile and replayable.
4/5.
