Genuine question: What on EARTH were you thinking getting rid of easy mode? It literally does nothing but subtract from the game.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Man... this game suuuucks now. Can't even make it past the first castle anymore. Ugh... Bring back easy game mode, at least that was fun to play. Seriously, there's no strategy to it if you can't even survive past the first level.

I really like the idea of the modified run after you make it to world 2 with a character and maybe I'm missing something here but why does it always start me on a campaign with the Thief on Hard no matter what I choose in the character selection screen?
Also it only happened to me with the knight but the game gets a bit samey and grindy a few worlds in without any real goal, I imagine the full game you publish on steam will have an ending but it would be nice to have some sort of endpoint even in this beta. In the case that it exists and I just didn't reach it the game may need to be condensed a bit so it doesnt start to get dull

i followed the tutorial twice now and both times the rat gets 2 hp after the ace pair attack and i can't do anything after that attack.

We need easy back!!!!! Easy speedruns were fun, and some people just like easy mode sooo much more. Please just a quick update for it?

It'd be nice to have a shop after you die. Something to help you out on future runs. Maybe something like permanent upgrades to heroes, or maybe something more simple like buying equipment or consumables for your next run only. I find it very difficult to even get to world 2, it'd be nice to earn something extra for getting there.

Wait a minute, you only get starting bonuses if you made it to World 2 or higher on your PREVIOUS run? Not your all time best? F uck that noise, I quit.

Just got a message about an update to the game and went to do a 'daily' run. Didn't have any food to start and didn't get any food even though I visited 2 flea markets. And died. This wasn't even bad RNG it was designed that way. Can I rate a game lower than 1?
If you don't like it, then don't play it - I'm not sure why you are so angry we added that feature? Sometimes it will be hard or impossible, because it's actually randomly generated.

Ogre's "Smash" card (four 9+ cards for 21 damage) got scored THRICE IN A ROW against me and Rogue die quickly just right before the first huge castle. Is ready to change my mind about my previous comment's stars, dropping down to 1 due to less "RNG issue" and more "cheating breaking-player" game. THIS kind of "cheat" SHOULD be on HARD, not MEDIUM.

Get really tired of having to start over with NOTHING every time I die. So it is all just up to luck if I will be able to make it past the second battle much less the 20th.

Like "Isaiah_Aurel" user said, Rogue is your huge mistake to push us away from this game. Trust me, I DO enjoy this one as it's really interesting to mix the elements of playing-cards and RPG-like game... but Rogue without a way to heal HP (others than food-meats) and does not have block-effect available VERY SOON, it become impossible to flow and impossible to unlock the third hero... This will be our ultimate blockage obstance at VERY EARLY of game. THis will also mean you would probably waste your time to update around for no reasons as long as you don't do something about Rogue. No matter we tried, RNG in higher chance is still against us to complete Rogue to unlock the next hero, EVEN playing VERY careful to stay alive as long as possible but bad RNG will cause enemy successfully attack while draining Energy, Gems, and Foods real quick BEFORE the halfway to the point of unlock third hero. PLEASE fix Rogue or otherwise you will get 2 stars.

It's nice that you get bonuses on future runs when you clear a world, but I think most players are going to need extra help getting that far. Maybe you should add Easy mode back.

Rogue should not be the second class, because it is a downright terrible one. Without reliable health regeneration, a class whose only defense option is stealing a single card just gets whittled down and dies a littlle over halfway through W1. I cannot unlock any more classes due to getting bad luck on my rogue runs.

This game is absurdly difficult. I don't understand why there is no 'easy' mode. It seems like such insane luck involved. Sometime's I'll have half health after the very first fight. It's just mot fun because of it. I'm sure there's some hardcore strat that will help me win 100 percent of the time but I just discovered this game and I kind of just want to explore it and see what it has to offer. I'm discouraged from doing that when I feel like I have no room to breathe and I won't even get a new item or see a new place on the map before I die.
The new difficulty may be great for those who've been playing the game and already mastered it but it's certainly not making it accessible for new players.
You don't actually lose everything, because you (usually) gained new skill/understanding of the game. If you want us to nerf new players for not playing long enough, I don't think we'll be doing that.

please add easy difficulty back. I'm not good at the game but had a blast on easy. now I find it difficult and frustrating. the increased difficultly makes it no longer any fun at all
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
It needs to be started SOMEWHERE that you lose everything you spent all those coins on if you die. You completely start over. I do not like this mechanic. I was having a lot of fun, and then you literally have to start from scratch again.

I hope this version continues to get updates when you add it to steam, and you don't just continue the growing issue on kongregate
The Daily Run is currently tuned to a range of extremely challenging to easy (it's random each day), but the standard runs are the main game - play those, especially on "Medium" if you find it to be too difficult. They are rarely impossible on "Medium".

This is awful i'm sorry to say, today's daily run, used all chips and consumables I had on the first two fights and died in like three hits. There was nothing else I could have done, I survived for as long as I could using all resources available. Saying it doesn't rely on luck is delusional. This was a game I played daily and found fun. Now this update has taken any of the fun away. I'll keep checking back to see if you update or change it as it was a good game, but for now, I wont be playing sorry. Good Luck.

The last update has increased the difficulty too much, you are now relying on luck rather than any kind of skill or judgement. I could regularly get to world 4 on medium, I'm now lucky if i get out of world 1.
The game does not rely very much on luck, the strategies just changed a bit and you might have to get used to it. We're still able to fairly consistently win on Hard without reloading on *most* heroes (not wizard). Consumables are important, and gems are a lot more important now. I want to see how everyone does after a week or so before judging, we can always decrease the difficulty or put an easier mode back in.

Strange bug just now: Started out with Toad, gone through City in Second Zone, locked my computer for half an hour to come back and have a Fighter with basic equiment at the same spot I've reached with toad so far. Also in the menu, the "New Game" button was gone.
So I refreshed the page and everything is back to normal.

I came back when I saw there was an update but I regret it. Wizard in particular is now bad since her only attack is card RNG, so after a couple runs she gets wrecked early because I often have to wait well into amplify turns to get enough pairs, even when upgrading sleeves or card draw. Her runs are completely dependent on an early shop with something good to supplement. I understand why amplify is there, but its a weak solution to a problem and poorly implemented at that. Maybe 5% starting at 21, but not 10% at 11. That just kills strategies like curse, poison, or specific card combos that take time. Poorly done

Wow, this game is no longer really fun. The difficulty starts off extreme and just goes up. I was playing this casually, now not so much. Shame.

Wow, great to see the upgrades today! Just when the replay value was finally starting to wind down, everything is new and different again. I'm excited to try out the new changes. Thanks for continuing to improve the game! And curse you for continuing to improve the game. Here goes the start of more chunks of time lost to Poker Quest!!! If I could give you another 5-star rating, I would.

Bring back easy mode! Enemies deal way too much damage in the early game and the healing is insufficient. Super frustrating to lose 1/2 my health in my first fight because I deal 15 damage per turn and the enemies deal 25 damage. I used to play every day; after this update I don't think I'll be playing any more.

I'd played this through probably 40 odd times as something to relax after work, and now I can't even get past the first boss as a) I run out of food and b) my health is now basically in the gutter. First run through as a rogue, and the first fight got me below half health. Might want to consider that the difficulty level you want, might not be the difficulty level your players want. hence "easy" mode, rather than just medium and hard, which implies that easy is just that.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
What happened to the easy setting? I can manage most of the way on medium about half the time; absolutely getting slaughtered on hard.

5/5, favorite list. Amazing game, innovative, entertaining, you can pick your level of tactical depth by picking your class, I love it. Good job!

Not sure if its a bug or not but if I charge "book of cards" with my last cards
It wont trigger.
so If it needs 17 charge and I give it that with my last 2 cards the effect wont trigger at all.

The items I used were much better anyway I was lucky enough to come across them In chests + shops that's why I didn't need my starting items.
Fourcaster
Even axe+++
Axe of kind ++
Knife +++
War hammer of (cant remember) the one that needs a straight
With these items my character Special meant nothing to me

After playing this game for about 7 hours and completing runs with most characters, I have to say this game is really fun, although I have a note.
I feel like the game is a little to focused on items rather than characters, with the right items it really doesn't matter who I have,
Actually my best rounds have been when I go with Druid sell all his Items and buy new ones and win the game without ever using his ability. making the whole character part of the Rpg seem underwhelming, otherwise a great game
