The verdict
A charming papercraft Diablo 1 homage with card-based gear and a handy session-length feature. Its on-rails movement and click-heavy combat get repetitive, so skip it if you want a true free-roaming ARPG.
Great for
Diablo 1 nostalgia fans who want short, casual, low-stress dungeon runs with a unique art style
Main risk
On-rails movement and repetitive click-heavy combat feel shallow, and it isn't a real deckbuilder

“The "upgradeable cards as items" mechanic feels and plays astonishingly well and is a lot of fun to experiment and in some way even "theorycraft" with.”

Annoying invulnerability and shield mechanics
Mentioned in ~1 in 6 negative reviews
“some enemies that are invulnerable for like 5 seconds after each hit, all elites are invulnerable between phases (for no reason)”

Not a real deckbuilder, misleading marketing
