I like the interaction of summoning skeleton. My skeletons were running around and didn't protect me very well, but it was fun. Nice work!

The art is stunning! Loved the gameplay of deckbuilding and such in a roguelike setting, very fun game, well done :D

Absolutely solid game, minor criticism I have is that the targeting mechanic being drag and drop is easy to misfire when there's lots going on. It took me one turn to actually understand everything/most of it (I cant just fire spells willy-nilly!?!?) and after that I really enjoyed it. I feel like it goes from easy to difficult fast, but that is fun. Nice art, good and fun mechanics, fits the theme really well.

Very good game. I am a big fan of card games, and here it's evident that a tremendous amount of work has been done - there is a wide variety of cards and minions. At first, it was not very comfortable to move slowly, but then I got used to it. The card interface is very good. The mechanics are understandable. It's very pleasant to shoot various fireballs)

As I understand it, the idea is to collect a synergistic deck during the game, but there isn't always enough time to think about which card to use and what to do. Also, I often dragged cards and they didn't work because there wasn't enough energy - I couldn't keep an eye on both the energy and the battlefield

I'll definitely come back to this game. Excellent work!

I love the card system :) The game is a bit hard though, and maybe more feedbacks on the spells could be helpful because sometimes I'm not sure if it does anything. Well done !

Game overall is very slow, not enough speed and not enough mana constantly. I see the potential, it could be a lot cooler, just by balancing some numbers, but now it is not.

I liked the designs of summons and cards! But as some here already mentioned - it's a bit too touch to balance speed and mana regen, at some points I got overwhelmed by a lot of enemies and had no means to quickly gain mana to summon more creatures at my side. Overall it's a nice little game! P.s. I would really love to have "exit" button, so that I don't have to kill the game :D

Very good visual choice. The important elements contrast nicely with the background. Great card design. The mix of card game and action game works well. I didn't fully understand the tutorial at first, but by testing, you automatically understand how to play. However, some feedback is missing, like mana consumption, which could completely replace the need for a tutorial. Good job!

Fun as hell. Did a few runs to see how strong I could get...

By this point, there is no strategy, it's all speed casting everything ahaha. Which is fun in it's own way but also ow my wrist.

I love the artstyle especialy the cards!
Movements feels sometimes not that smooth(shaking when you go in diagonal).
The game overall is very fun and this card system adds a lot to the vampire survivor genre!

It starts a bit slow but becomes really fun in the mid game, than gets really hard when it gets to the end :)) Really cool game. I don't know if leaving the bottom safe intentional but idk it seems a bit pointless to me. Since you can survive there for a long time. I think reanimate card is brilliant!
