A game that should be sold as a 4-Pack.

Overall, the ability to play Munchkin online, and especially automated, is a huge plus. As a whole, I would recommend the game, but I would wait until the some of the major UI and QOL issues are ironed out -- They're easy enough to get used to, but could detract from the enjoyment. I've detailed my thoughts on some of the most egregious ones, if anyone is interested. It's my hope that the developers of the game would read this review, as well!

1) Short Timer. Firstly, the timer is pretty harsh. I believe players have around 15 seconds per action, which is tight considering the amount of information thrown at them. I would highly recommend allowing for the option to change the timer's length for each game, with an option for unlimited time.

2) Steam compatibility. To my knowledge, the only way to invite someone to your game is by having them find it on the game browser menu. I haven't been able to invite players through Steam, which is difficult and inconvenient. I haven't played the tutorial, and I don't know if this is explained there.

3) General Slowness. The game feels buggy and clunky. I know the fun artstyle of Munchkin can add to this, but it feels like the game could've came out in 2012, for a lack of better words. Sometimes, cards will disappear too quickly after being played, or linger too long after being discarded. Cards in the hand don't feel interactive, and aren't able to be sorted or manipulated. It's clear that an insane amount of effort has gone into this digitalization (If that's even a word), and I think it needs a little bit of polish to truly benefit from it.

4) Information Overload. There is a LOT of information. Of course, since this is Munchkin, this can be expected, but the presentation is difficult to interpret. The player is forced to jump around to each corner of the screen every combat to have a solid grip of the situation. Compared to similar combat card-based games, such as Slay The Spire, Munchkin feels very overwhelming. I know it's an unfair comparison, but I felt it was useful to bring up.

5) Activity Log. Another issue along this point is the lack of clarity in the activity log. Sometimes, cards that were drawn face-up can't be read on it. Other times, they simply don't appear, leaving a blank space instead.

6) Jump-In Implementation. Finally, 'Jump Ins' feel clunky and slow compared to the over-the-board version of the game. I can't really think of a way to improve this aspect, but I feel that how its been implemented digitally doesn't accurately represent the board game.

I am by no means a game designer or critic, and I don't have much authority to be giving such harsh criticism, other than that I've enjoyed the Munchkin game for years. I'll continue to play the digitized version of the game with my friends, and hope to see improvements coming soon!

It's Munchkin for people who have no friends.
The AI will go for you if you try and go for the win first.
It's all about biding your time and playing the gamble.

It's still basic, but the feeling is like when I used to play the tabletop version. I hope there are going to be updates with more cards from all different decks that are out there!

Game is still in early access as I type this, sure there are some things that aren't working 100% but the fact that I can now play Munchkin whenever I want is great. I personally don't have any friends that like these types of games so I've always had to play with my kids and they too only play it because of me.. this makes me happy.

It's munchkin, but brought to PC! Great board game, and I wouldn't have refunded it if Couch Co-op was an option.

Newsflash: Couch Co-op is NOT an option. walk away if you want couch co-op.

fun but needs more cards

The classic munchkin experience, but there are some things the physical game has over this one. Firstly, the ability to help or hinder is limited in this version: in the card game someone can play a wandering monster card, and another person can play the monster allowing two people to coordinate their attack on another person. Or, another example is that a player can ask for multiple people's help, perhaps not by allowing them to directly fight the monster, but in the sense of offering them one of your items in exchange for them casting a spell or buff that might give you an edge in combat.

My biggest gripe with this game is the lack of local multiplayer! Why can't myself and my partner sit and play this boardgame against the AI while sitting next to eachother? GIVE ME LOCAL MULTIPLAYER!

Dice favor the bots. Also you can win by using a "Go Up a Level" card?? Since when? Fun game tho

This game was BANNED in my house during highschool.

Munkins is perhaps the best game in the entire planet. The ambiguity in the rules of the earlier physical prints were amazing because the rules were solid enough where there game wouldn't get interrupted constantly checking the rulebook, but was written in a way to be open to interpretation, so you could argue the merits of how you interpret the rules. As a result, while my whole family loved the game, it cause sooooo many arguements it was locked away in the closet and banned...

.....Flash forward to a just the other day, I saw this game was now on steam. After I saw this on digital, I knew I had to get it and try it out(along with some copies I bought for friends). After playing a game with them, I can wholeheartedly say while it's not exactly the same as I remember it, It's just as equally cooperative vs. competitive and fun as I remember!

The game rules aren't too complicated so older players wont get bored playing with younger players like they may with older more classic games. The visuals don't look too flashy, but it doesn't look like a scraped together flash game either. Items and designs are always a blast to read over and choose how you'll help(or destroy) your friends.

The digital aspect of it isn't terrible, so even less tech savvy people should be able to play just fine without being hindered by a lack of how to use a computer. The game itself it didn't have any bugs or lags when playing with people, and overall while i still miss the physical game, this was absolutely the best purchase i've made on steam for less than $10 i've made in a while. If you're not sure if this game will be any good, or have played the physical game and wonder if the digital is any good, I can assure you it is absolutely worth it whether you're a gaming family who want to play a board game with people close by or far, or just some friends looking for a fun(but intensely argumentative) game to talk in discord and have drinks with.
