Greedy Dungeon
So far, it’s a pretty fun game. You build up your deck, upgrading cards you like, hit the dungeon to take on baddies and hopefully not die. It can be kinda grindy, but the more challenging dungeons will test your character and your willingness to lose everything if you die. For the price it can’t be beat.

Choose your way through a branching path filled with battles, merchants, random encounters, and valuable rest locations to heal and revive fallen characters.
Ufflegrim
Great game, has a lot of replay value and the soundtrack and visuals are charming as well. This game deserves more attention. It’s easy to play but hard to master and has many different ways to play. If you like strategy, RPG, rouge-like or card battler games than this is something you should at the very least try.

Ufflegrim is a unique take on turn based tactics, and i approve greatly.
You play as more of a summoner, each creature you summon will fight and die for you. You can also play creatures on other creatures to make buffs. Drop effects and Place effects drive this game, and make many unique, and interesting synergies you can build decks around. Though you can attack things yourself, and attacking things is a way to pull creatures from your deck to summon, it’s not your main source of damage, and doing so too often on a floor is likely to get you killed.

Book of Demons
This game is a gem. I’d like to highly recommend it to any player who enjoys a mix of action, planning, and collecting.
What could make you love this game?
First of all, the art style. It catches the whole idea of it being a “book”. Well designed pop-up book graphics, both in the world, the character sheet and inventory (your card deck), as well as in the menus. And if you are a fan of Diablo I & II, you will notice that Thing Trunk got one important part – that made those titles stand out – just right: the lighting. Be it torches illuminating that tiny space just outside your radius of view, be it the ominous glow of a not-so-distant boss… it does a great deal to help you “feel” the dungeon. And of course: it pretty.

Overview
Book of Demons is a hack & slash which pays homage to Diablo with a few twists - it is set in a paper-cut universe like in a pop-up book, and everything you can equip, use, do comes in the form of cards that you assemble into your loadout to conquer the said Paperverse. You start out with 3 card slots out of the maximum of 10 available. Card slots are unlocked using gold and cost incrementally more. As of the build I played (0.75.11062+), only the Warrior class is available. The other 2 classes - Mage and Rogue will be released at a later date according to the roadmap but apart from this the game is pretty complete for an Early Access game. The total of 32 cards in the Warrior’s arsenal are divided into Artifacts (equipment - e.g. weapons, armor, trinkets), Items (e.g. potions, bombs, town portal scroll) and Spells (e.g. Mighty Blow, Charge, Blade Storm). All Artifacts have a mana cost which effectively reduces your mana pool available for using Spells (Items have no mana cost). Leveling up allows you to increase your health or mana, which translates to taking more hits / casting more spells. You do not actually grow stronger by levelling up. Instead you increase in strength by discovering new cards or upgrading your existing cards using gold and runes you find.

Destiny or Fate
Warning
By writing this review I’ve already produced more Destiny or Fate content than the devs have in more than a year. Yes, this game has been abandoned with major bugs. Proceed with caution.
Why am I still giving it a thumbs-up then?
Recommendation
The fact that I’ve completed the game more than 10 times, and have clocked more than a dozen hours indicates that the core gameplay loop is still satisfying. So, in order to not look like a hypocrite:
If you can get this game for anything below 5 bucks, and you know for a fact that the genre is for you, then you can consider getting it. Please don’t let it be your first taste of deckbuilding roguelikes, though.

Overall ★★★★☆ (4/5) Recommended for people who are seeking strategy games!
I bought this game 2days ago and played for a while. Literally, couldn’t stop playing it. Very interesting game play due to interconnection between hero abilities, card, and enemy special ability. I just got into 3rd stage without much investing into mastery (which you don’t lose even if you die). I highly recommend to people who love strategy challenges. I hope to see more updates with interesting heroes, cards, and enemies. So far, I played 3 heroes, and it’s been lot of fun in each hero play. (It seems there are more than 10 heroes available, but I could unlock about 5heroes so far).
