Ancient Gods: Deckbuilding RPG 9+

Perfect Execution

Don’t often write reviews, but this game deserves it. I downloaded the game because I like slay the spire and the gameplay seemed similar. Dare I say this game is even better, which is astonishing, but I’m absolutely loving this game. So many different characters and gameplay styles to try still, and there are a ton of freebies. I haven’t paid anything yet, but I probably will, simply to support the game. The prices are quite reasonable and very optional. Beyond quest and achievement rewards, which are very lucrative and not too difficult, you can watch 5 ads to get 10 free summons every day, which is pretty wild. As far as mechanics go, everything feels pretty smooth and not too difficult to understand. There are tip boxes for nearly everything you could need one for if you hold down on an ability, so it’s pretty easy to learn. The game is still decently challenging and gets progressively harder at a reasonable rate. No complaints about this game, and I think I will be playing it quite a lot.

This game has no business being so good

This game is absolutely amazing, this is the first game that actually made me write a review because it’s so good, it’s a fun deck building roguelike, it’s so flipping generous, there are no pop-up ads, the devs listen to feedback, and to top it all off: this game literally doesn’t use data or wifi, I can load up this game whereever and whenever whether it’s at home, outside, or during my long subway commute. The only problem I have with this game is that there aren’t enough people playing it man… If you like and appreicate this game, support the amazing devs that made this dream come true, their microtransactions are also a really good deal, so there’s absoluely nothing to lose.

Great game going in wrong direction

The original game with endless run was great. So great that I bought the starter packages to show support for the game. Building your deck while trying to stay alive through inclining stage difficulty was worth the time invested. Dying means you have to discard the deck you have worked so hard to build, and cash out the rewards you gathered(minus 25%). That formula could have easily been monetized and I would have gladly used premium currency(paid$$) to keep my hard earned run and deck going. This new update with Chaos Island is not it. Quick stages that have no time to build the deck that suits your play style. It’s unfulfilling as your deck build is discarded as soon as the stage level is over, so the desire to build another deck for the next stage becomes a repetitive chore. Maybe this works with new players or some people, but not for me or veteran players who have been long awaiting an update. Improve on the formula you had before with the endless run. It is the main reason I played and the one element that kept my attention. This is just my experience and opinion.

Developer Response ,

We understand how you feel right now, but to ensure the balance of the game we have to do it. In the future we will launch a feature that allows players to customize the starting deck, it will help your problem be solved. Sincere apologies and thanks for the feedback.
