Is rest of the game in act 2's style?

[Ake]

Title, i like pixel games, just not this artstyle, especially since act 1 is what drew me in

There is an Act 3.
It is not pixel art.
It's 3D, like Act 1, but it doesn't have the same immersion.

Don't worry, the gameplay and story is a great compensation.
P03 is a competent GM after all, if not a bit bland and unmotivated

Beat it and find out.

In case you aren't aware, in act 2 (unlike other acts) you can customise your deck at anytime when not in a fight, by adding/removing the cards you get or find around.

I recommend building a deck mainly from 2 sets out of 4, so you can diversify your tactics if needed but still can build coherent synergies with minimum risk of drawing useless cards.

It's a card game... You're supposed to think about what cards you're using, not just picking at random...? It's more skill-based than luck-based if you do it that way.

You may have started with the Magnificus starter deck, which imo is a really horrible start to Act 2 as it has little consistency.

I recommend New Gaming into Grimora's deck, as it gives enough cards that build well into Leshy and Grimora's boosters. Bone cards work well with blood cards.

After you beat either one of the two bosses, go to Magnificus' area and just abuse the Training Dummy for foils, then you can make any deck you want.

That's obvious and probably not what they were talking about: your initial hand is completely random. Imagine beginning a boss fight, that kills you in 1 or 2 turns, and you get 3 squirrels and a robot that does zero damage and costs 2 eneregy... Well I don't have to because that ♥♥♥♥ happened a lot at the beginning

Why do you have unwanted cards in your deck? If you think before you pick your cards (like I said) instead of throwing them all into your deck or using the "auto" button, you won't need to worry about having unwanted cards in your starting hand.

You're right, this does all sound awfully obvious to me. But I'm not the one claiming that the game is purely luck-based.

Your starting hand is not entirely random.

The game has a built in Fairhand mechanic. In Act 1 (And KC's mod), you are guaranteed to draw one of your 1 blood cards in your starting hand, if any exist in your deck.

Act 2 is different of course, and I'm not sure if the same rule applies there since not every archetype is blood there. That said, fairhand also guarantees that your starting hand CANNOT contain the same four cards.

Fairhand also applies to the Clover reroll.
