Meteorfall: Journeys stands out in the roguelike deck-building genre with its innovative approach that places a stronger emphasis on deck construction rather than typical roguelike mechanics. Priced at $4, I found its value justified, sinking a substantial 5 hours into the game and anticipating more playtime ahead.

In this game, players can select from 1 of 6 classes, each offering unique play styles and diverse archetypes to explore. Starting with a basic card set, players progressively refine their decks by adding and removing cards to create an optimal build. Combat involves tactical decision-making: players choose to play cards, spending spell charges or stamina, or skip, conserving stamina for later cards.

Each run consists of traversing through fixed rounds in locations, facing monsters or opting to heal and progress towards the end boss. The game's diversity shines through the multitude of classes, from brute warriors to necromancers inflicting curses, each demanding a different strategy. The art style, reminiscent of Adventure Time, adds a quirky charm to the game, although more character variety would have been welcomed.

While the game boasts quick, 25-minute runs and offers engaging in-and-out gameplay, a couple of downsides surface. Understanding enemy decks before combat proved challenging, lacking visibility into opponent cards, leaving me unsure of my approach. Additionally, the limited ways to remove unwanted cards outside of temples hindered strategic flexibility, often feeling random and restrictive.

However, Meteorfall: Journeys is a gem in the genre, suitable for newcomers and veteran deck-building enthusiasts alike. Its charm, diverse archetypes, and accessible gameplay make it a recommended choice. The game's strengths easily outweigh the minor setbacks, promising an enjoyable journey for those diving into the world of deck-building adventures.

Meteorfall Review

Meteorfall is a deck-building roguelike.  You'll choose your class from one of four unique adventurers, and then set out with a deck consisting of some basic attack cards.  During the course of your adventure, you'll be presented with the opportunity to add powerful new cards to your deck. No adventure would be complete without slaying a few monsters that get in your way. In battle, you'll draw cards from your ability deck. Each time you draw a card, you'll be able to swipe right to play the card, or swipe left to skip a turn and regain some stamina.
