❤ Unique Turn-Based Mechanics

The game features a unique turn-based combat system that sets it apart. Each character and enemy has a "counter" that counts down the number of turns until they attack. This gives players a clear window to plan their moves and strategize around when each unit will act. Players can also freely rearrange their party members before each turn, allowing them to position units to maximize their effectiveness.

❤ Deckbuilding and Customization

At the core of the gameplay is the deckbuilding mechanic. Players choose a tribe leader at the start of each run, each with their own unique abilities and playstyle. As they progress, they acquire cards representing companion units, elemental spells, and equipment. These cards can be further enhanced through the "charm" system, which allows players to apply permanent upgrades and synergies. The flexible deckbuilding and customization options give players a lot of room to experiment and develop powerful, personalized strategies.

❤ Difficulty and Replayability

The game is known for its challenging difficulty, which many players find deeply rewarding. Each run presents new obstacles and enemy combinations that require careful planning and execution to overcome. However, the game's procedural generation and variety of unlockable content ensures that no two runs feel identical. Additionally, the ability to toggle optional difficulty modifiers allows players to tailor the challenge to their preferences.

❤ Synergies and Combos

A key part of the gameplay is discovering and exploiting powerful synergies between cards, charms, and abilities. The game encourages players to think creatively about how different elements and mechanics can be combined to create devastating combos. Mastering these synergies is essential for progressing through the game's increasingly challenging encounters.

❤ Emergent Storytelling

The narrative elements are woven into the gameplay in an organic way. The fact that players' previous winning teams become the final boss of subsequent runs adds an interesting twist, creating a sense of emergent storytelling as players' actions and decisions shape the overarching narrative.
