Ancient Gods: Deckbuilding RPG 9+

Perfect Execution

Don’t often write reviews, but this game deserves it. I downloaded the game because I like slay the spire and the gameplay seemed similar. Dare I say this game is even better, which is astonishing, but I’m absolutely loving this game. So many different characters and gameplay styles to try still, and there are a ton of freebies. I haven’t paid anything yet, but I probably will, simply to support the game. The prices are quite reasonable and very optional. Beyond quest and achievement rewards, which are very lucrative and not too difficult, you can watch 5 ads to get 10 free summons every day, which is pretty wild. As far as mechanics go, everything feels pretty smooth and not too difficult to understand. There are tip boxes for nearly everything you could need one for if you hold down on an ability, so it’s pretty easy to learn. The game is still decently challenging and gets progressively harder at a reasonable rate. No complaints about this game, and I think I will be playing it quite a lot.

I want more

The games main flaw is that there isn’t enough game. It has some of the most fun mechanics I’ve found in a card game app (aside from masterduel since that’s literally just yugioh), but I finished the “campaign” in just a few hours. The challenge mode seems to be the prolonged content but there isn’t enough content elsewhere to support your progression through it. Yeah you can grind but it would be better if there was more to grind through than just the 2 modes, 1 of which stops giving rewards after you 100% it which only takes completing 6-7 generic tasks. I want to play more but without more to play through I’m just gonna leave it

Great game going in wrong direction

The original game with endless run was great. So great that I bought the starter packages to show support for the game. Building your deck while trying to stay alive through inclining stage difficulty was worth the time invested. Dying means you have to discard the deck you have worked so hard to build, and cash out the rewards you gathered(minus 25%). That formula could have easily been monetized and I would have gladly used premium currency(paid$$) to keep my hard earned run and deck going. This new update with Chaos Island is not it. Quick stages that have no time to build the deck that suits your play style. It’s unfulfilling as your deck build is discarded as soon as the stage level is over, so the desire to build another deck for the next stage becomes a repetitive chore. Maybe this works with new players or some people, but not for me or veteran players who have been long awaiting an update. Improve on the formula you had before with the endless run. It is the main reason I played and the one element that kept my attention. This is just my experience and opinion.

Developer Response ,

We understand how you feel right now, but to ensure the balance of the game we have to do it. In the future we will launch a feature that allows players to customize the starting deck, it will help your problem be solved. Sincere apologies and thanks for the feedback.
