Alluris
As you can see by my hour count, i have really enjoyed playing this game. To me this game is simple yet sophisticated. when i say simple I mean anybody can pick it up, all you have to do is be able to read. However, this game is also sophisticated because when you get into the later stages of the game, you have to keep track of all of the major options you chose and with the variety of this game, there are a lot of story developing options.
This game is perfect for anybody who feels like they need to get their creative side running again, or anybody who likes D&D should also love this game. This game is suitable for all ages and anybody can come and enjoy it.

PROS: Colorful artwork; humorous story telling; classic genre references from movies and literature; many different ways to get to endgame; not system requirement intense; great value; easily turned into a house party game
CONS: Once towns are overrun, all quests and quest items in that area are cut off; each action (no matter how insignificant) burns a day
As a lover of “choose your own adventure” and casual game play, ALLURIS has won a place in my heart. This beautifully illustrated card-style RPG offers hours of game play for a very reasonable price.

It’s not finished so maybe this review is not fair but it’s not in early access.
I finished only the 1st chapter because the 2nd is not done.
Pros:
-
creative monsters, unqiue enemies
-
long campaign (example: longer than the Northmark’s campaign)
-
autonavigation in quest menu
-
some art is nice
-
gauntlet / puzzles minigames
Cons:
- the campaign is not polished
I couldn’t finish the 1rst chapter when my hero was a warrior because I couldn’t defeat two monsters (stirred up & in flight),
and I don’t like the slow grind (job board)

Sometimes I think what’s happening with Steam and why there are so many negatives. One reviewer says that ‘it needs a pass over with someone who understands card games’. Really, mate? Dev has just designed the whole card system and is good at it. Dev is often active and updates the game, but it seems that you want to push him away.
The game is good, it has a really interesting character development, cool story and well-designed battles in which you have to tune your deck. It is a deep system, not crossing the line of ‘read the fine print’, check the guide here to see it yourself:
