I thought the game was bigger

[moshiwakeda]

When everything goes 2d, I thought I chose one of the 3 other dealers/opponents.
So while I'm playing through the bot world, I really thought I would also get to play the skeleton cards and wizard card sets in their own 3d worlds.

But it turns out it's only the robot?

That seems so weird to me, I really thought there were 2 more decks to play, the skeleton/necromancer and the magic one.

Am I missing something? In the final act they had me play one game, and it seems that system was fleshed out. So I'm really confused now

[Luna]

nope thats it

act 1 is with twig beard
act 2 is the game boy section
act 3 will always be talking toaster.

oh and you got the beta for the new endless version of act 1 with new cards.

That is the most frustrating thing with the game: act 2 introduces 3 new mechanics, however only one is used in act 3.

Bro I just beat this whole game and that's it? Not even a new game+?

That's it, that's the whole game

TECHNICALLY Act 1 and 3 have 2 gimmicks of the Scrybes. Leshy borrows Grimora's bone mechanic and P03 borrows Magnificus' mechanic, but yeah it is a little sad we can't go all the way with the bone or gem mechanics

The cynical side of me believes that this is a clear setup for two future DLCs.

I wouldn't consider the game complete until all 4 hegemons are playable in the same way as Kaycee's Mod with Leshy.

You will never think it's complete then, it's just not planned for the future at this time and very unlikely to change. The dev has generously given Kaycee's Mod as a free gesture for the players, there's no way he can afford to spend another 3 or 4 years developing 2 full new games for the other 2 without getting paid for it.

I mean, Act 2 introduces 2 new mechanics. The Bones mechanic is already present in Leshy's version of the game (Grimora remarks on this if you pick her deck, the same way that Leshy knows that you know how Blood works if you pick his). So Act 3 utilizes P03's mechanic as a primary (the same way Leshy used blood) and Magnificus's Mox mechanic as a secondary (the way Leshy used Bones).

Which of course leads to the interesting implication that, in a full cycle, Grimora's game would use Energy as a secondary mechanic, while Magnificus's game somehow uses Blood.

I can totally see Magnificus using blood or say paint as a resource considering how cruel he was to his students, I can totally see him having blood or paint from his students.

It might make thematic sense, but I wonder how well it would gel mechanically. Say what you will, but Bones are a great complement to Blood (where you'll already be killing creatures anyway), and the way that Mox were integrated into the Energy system (cards aren't dependent upon them, but gain stat bonuses instead) is about the most seamless way to do it.

The Mox gimmick with Blood as a secondary system, when I try to picture it, I wonder what the niche would be. You wouldn't be able to just "draw a squirrel" as sacrifice fodder since your side deck is now un-sacrifice-able Mox cards… But on the other hand, since the Mox gimmick revolves around cards becoming free-to-play once you have their gem on the board, maybe it would work surprisingly well. Being able to throw down a bunch of Blue Mages and then sacrifice them for the Magnificus equivalent of a Grizzly might actually be TOO strong lmao

I've beat the game twice now. What is Kaycee's mod. The 2D part?

I was also expecting more from the other characters

Kaycee's Mod is an extra mode that serves as a challenge-run version of Act 1. It's not an actual mod, it's an official thing, but you need to opt into the beta branch for it.

Ah, I see. Thanks!

The game would've been better without the ARG and 2nd act. Turn it into a cutscene that gives some backstory before it glitches out and Po3 appears

Act 1: Leshy (Stoat manipulates the player into giving him control)
Act 2: Po3 (Grimora just takes the new game button)
Act 3: Grimora (deletion sequence starts after the final boss battle)

♥♥♥♥ Magnificus, he only gets to stay in the deletion sequence
