Not sure the pixel look is really helping them out here. I full-screened the video and thanks to that there were moments I couldn't even tell what was going on. Maybe because there's too much detail for the "retro" filters to make sense.

Cue the comments about how this is a ripoff of Terraria that all 2D building/mining games get.

I think my trouble with Fugl is that the pixel-y art style makes everything look slightly out of focus, when it really isn't. I find that disconcerting.

Probably going to continue playing Lufia II via Mednafen, as well as finally making some more progress in CrossCode (damn that fire temple anyway).

It's...an okay game. While I appreciate what it tries to do, and there are some really good ideas in there, but when I played it at least they weren't developed enough to really make them work.

Fine for a free game, I suppose.

Just booted it up and it works great. Haven't played more than a few seconds, but that's fine. I can get to that later.

"...you play as a Human..."

Well, there goes about 20% of my interest.

Good lord, I hope they change the font on the cards before release. It looks terrible and hard to read.

Seems to me that given how you need to get your combat turn over with fast to prevent your opponent from building their economy, and each card having a unique set of moves, there's a really strong advantage to players who are very familiar with the cards and every one of those moves, since they can finish combat rounds much faster. Newer players would be at a big disadvantage there.

Quoting: Acrophobic

Quoting: NezchanHaving tried it a little, it seems fun and also I'm bad at it.

Same !

I've played it for several hours, and I think my main problem is it's too combo based. Want to use special attack ? Do combos 2x. Want to regain some health ? Do combos 4x.

I often find myself only have one health, but there are not enough enemies in current room to gather combos. I hope it will get balanced later in full release.

I've found that at my level of skill, it's basically impossible to get hearts via combos. My only way to make back health is the shop by the second checkpoint. The zoomed-in view, where not a lot of enemies are on screen at once, and my difficulty figuring out what the effective range throwing the bird is, really play against me there.
