    The mixed reviews make sense. It is a niche game. If you are not sure, pass or wait for a sale. If you like mixed genre zombie, card battle, survival hardcore games, can't recommend enough. Just check out the bad reviews. If you are like me and don't care that it's not perfectly polished, doesn't have the exact mechanics of games you played before, give it try.

    This is a really good game, i don't know why people are leaving bad reviews after only playing 1h, i guess the early access had a lot of bugs, but right now i didn't experience any in 6hs. To enjoy this game, early, is important to treat it as a crpg, where some encounters are better avoided but you should still loot all you can around that enemy to gain an advantage and run away to come back later.
