The WhatsNext verdict

For Deckbuilding roguelike fans who enjoy planning defenses across multiple lanes and adapting to changing options.: Build a deck around a champion and allied units, then deploy them across three train floors to stop waves of attackers from reaching your pyre. Tradeoff: Each run asks you to make the most of changing cards and upgrades; success depends on planning and adapting rather than direct action.

No playthrough is ever the same, it’s a fresh challenge every time. You’ll never play the same deck twice!
