Worth getting this game?

[9S]

Is this game worth it? Or just a game overrated by streamers in twitch?

[Pixel Peeper]

Obviously, it depends if you like the game or not.

Watch some gameplay and see if that's your thing.

The game is definitely worth it if the niche genre mashup is appealing to you.

You need to know a few things if you're interested purely because of streamers on Twitch.
I've seen a few things happen with a lot of similar games, Enter the Gungeon and Dead Cells are two big examples.
These things happen because of people buying into a popular game without understanding what a roguelite is (if you know what a roguelite is, this is for other curious readers).

You do not keep any progress between runs, if you die, you start from the very beginning with just the basics (plus a bonus if you reached atleast the first boss on your last run as that class).

Beating the game is not the point of the game, but it is the goal of each run.

Roguelites are designed around playing through repeatedly.
They are the optimal choice of game type if you are short on cash and want a game that will entertain you more per dollar than most games.

Edit: Oh, and failure is much more common than success. You WILL lose a lot more than you win, unless you have the godliest of luck and are a strategic genius.

I'll let someone else explain the specifics unique to this particular game, like the card aspect and .. maybe relics.

my only answer would be yes definatly worth it

Oberic nailed the description pretty much right on. If you like Roguelites; rogue Legacy, FTL, Solar Settlers etc, than I cannot recommend this game enough. The first night I bought it I missed both dinner and bed time because I was having so much fun. Some of the "New and Shiney!" has worn off and I've 'beaten' it once as the Ironclad, but I am still very much enjoying the game.

It is overrated. And boring as hell. And i love rogue like games.

You don't even own it, though?

I'd say it's worth it provided you already know what you are getting yourself into.
Decent amount of technicality / strategy provided.
Can get too random at the end stages of the game.

EDIT : Read the game reviews. There are thousands. Watch a gameplay from youtube.

Wait to buy it. If you buy it now youll be wanting more content to be released a week later.

They release new content weekly (edit: so far, every thursday since I bought it on Jan. 6th).
So this isn't as much of a problem as it sounds.

If you want value (money vs. time playing), you'll get good value from this game.

If you want content (time playing vs. repeatative content), you'll want to wait until it progresses further in EA.

If you want to save money (ie. steam sale), you'll be waiting for at least a year. They want to leave EA in Summer 2018, raise the price when going gold and then you might see it at a winter or spring sale.

personal opinion; if you like deck building games. then yes this is worth getting.

if you like games like super meat boy with the relic system. then this game isworth the play.

[Ozymandias]

I don't watch twitch, so I wouldn't know whether it is overrated or not.

For me it is a simple but very tasty morsel of roguelite. It is fairly replayable, despite its short length of about an hour (if you actually win ;p). It is deep not wide.

This game is already worth the money, it looks nice, it sounds nice. Two thumbs up, if you don't mind cards, and you like rogues.

I play ascension constantly. I enjoy deck building games. This game is hard to stop playing for me.
