Finally, finally got the impossible badge! I can't even count how many times I've died on Gauntlet Level 7 before, happy to get this done.

i was liking till i see a big problem, you really cant calculate shit when the monsters moves and even if you kill sometimes you get hit hard by the new mobs. died in so many broken ways. at least got medium

just for the heck of it i want a separate mode that lets me keep my upgrades when I die and restarts me at the beginning. i know that's no longer roguelike, but i'd love to see this expanded in that way.

This game is both one of the best and most frustrating games I've played. 5/5. a save point for the Gauntlet would be amazing although would likely need the badge to drop from impossible to hard

Can you make it so one of ur pawns turns into a queen when there's a single enemy directly in front of you and you've only got 2 unusable pawns?

Got the impossible badge with 8 lightning and 3 shields. There were plenty of times where I was close to beating floor 14 with 6 lightning and 4-6 shields, but seems like investing in more lightning was optimal. Don't bother buying any splash. It can actually hurt your chances of beating floor 14.

It would be great to have a reminder in the store regarding what level you're on. This has an effect on buying strategy, as there is no option to visit the store in the gauntlet round

I just realized that when you reach the other side of the board, all of your pawns become queens. I thought this was random.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Ok I finally did it. Used 7 lightning and 5 shield, 2 splash total. Some hints: Only buy the cheap shields for the pawns (4coins), for the pieces only the 5 coin ones. Save up coins for lightning. Dont buy hearts early. If you miss a crystal you can restart. For the gauntlet: Kill the blight matrons last. Go to the top floor and try to hit them in a bulk with a splash. Look out for the save spots on the map and plan ahead on how you can reach them. Dont kill blights adjacent to these save spots unless you have enough shield. Use the lightning cards first when possible so you have still 2 cards to play when you ru out of lghtning. gl

Update: I got the badge with 8 lightnings. It was down to the last move. I thought it was going to be the last level but it's not. FML. Go for the back line and bait the Blight Matrons to the sides and corners.

The last floor of the gauntlet is so bad. I think you need to get 8 lightning bolts and idk how many shields. Buy cheap shields and buy all lightning bolts.

I give up. It's not about what choices I make. It's all about what pieces I get. If I get one bad piece in 7 rounds then I lose. I basically have to keep playing until I get just the right combination to win. 20, 30 games and I just can't get the right combo.

I like the _idea_ of this game, but if RNG doesn't favor you, you can very quickly end up in a no-win, only-death scenario. A bad hand of cards can mean an instant game over, no matter what you do.

A puzzle game relying strictly on RNG? No. A puzzle game that relies strictly on RNG factors restarting you at the first level every single time forcing you to deal with the RNG all over again? Hell no. I already finished those levels, i should not have to do them ALL OVER AGAIN with MORE RNG idiocy to contend with.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Really unsatisfying. You don't get to keep upgrades or gold between runs, but also you're totally susceptible to the RNG. If you get bad draws or upgrade options, it's almost impossible to do well. :|

crap, just made it to level 7 of the gauntlet but died, I had 6 energy 7 shields and 2 hearts going into the guantlet.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Thanks maker. This game was a challenge that took me a good hour to figure out. The key was saving gold for lightning and shield power ups instead of going for extra hearts. Why buy hearts if you are invincible?

Fun game. If you get lucky and focus on cantrips, you can get infinite turns by the time you get into the gauntlet, which I think is basically necessary to get the impossible badge. Once that's gotten though, as long as you don't put yourself in a position where you need to use your non-cantrip cards, you can go as high as you feel like.
Bearing that in mind, the damage values get bonkers. I decided to die on level 30 and Unity crashed pretty hard from all the damage visuals generated. Might be worth a fix or scale the damage a bit differently. No need to get to 300,000 damage.

I got BOTD, but this is definitely trickier than expected. I don't feel insane enough ATM to try for Impossible, but something to keep in mind for the future :D

First time I have seen impossible badge. I have to agree, WTF is this supposed to be? Base game is hard already, difficult enought to still be worth the medium badge after you understand the mechanics of yourself and all the enemies. Why cant you use the last card on your hand? Your turn ends moment there is only one left so no point holding it as escape route. Shop isnt as usefull as it could be since when you have the money to buy cards with lightning that let you extend your turn you wont find them there and when you do, they generally are too expensive. Then there is the "Gauntlet" where everything gets even more ridiculous and unfair. No matter where you go you will get hit and shops that werent really all that helpfull are removed entirely. I do not know if it inroduced something new since after I beat the first round I got exact replica of round I just beat which I did not have lives for anymore. Sure I had the shields but never when I actually needed them.

In this case, "Impossible Badge" is being literal. I normally just hate rouge-likes in general, because they're like extremely slow extremely long games of '80's Solitaire or Minesweeper, where the win condition is decided by way of RNG and you have to get well into before deciding if it's worth your time to continue. Those games were fun back when nothing better existed, but with more advanced technology available to make more complex games, why would I settle for one that's unlikely to instance itself in a way that allows me to win? If you want to be successful selling a game on this concept, try again with a deck of 5 cards, not 9, where cantrips don't refresh when redrawn. Reduce the odds of a "no-win" instance as close to 0 as you can get it, at all times. People who learn the game and play it well want to win, and if they can't get that here, they'll just go somewhere else.

@Balbanes It doesn't need to be provable by screenshot, since the game is not a flash game, and doesn't use supernova, so the badge will automatically award as long as you're onnline.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Yeah, I don't know what they were thinking when they made this impossible badge. For one, it's not provable by screenshot, since there aren't any level indicators. Also, as many say, the gauntlet is a load of fake difficulty. At the last, or 2nd to last, level to get the abdge (at the times it registered before Supernova), the blight covers so many squares and gets high enough, the odds of winning either of them is almost astronomically low, given that you ALSO need to HOPE you had the chance to get the right card upgrades along the way.

It has been over two hours that I've been frantically trying to figure out a strategy to somehow beat the game, but I realized the randomness of the cards AND the enemies would simply not allow that, unless I played for considerably longer, regardless of skill. And mind you, I've been to a Chess Club, so I know how to predict a few moves ahead, or know when it's hopeless to play. And this is HOPELESS.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The randomness of cards drawn is really frustrating. Making the game harder than it needs to be. Really hope if we can choose the cards, or balance out something else. Almost 1.5 hours, and still cant complete the 7 levels. I hope the objective of this game is not to frustrate people, because if it is, it would have been achieved.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
i domt like this game. first you can even continue so when my computer crashed i lost all my progres second. its really hard and its mostly luck on what can you buy and what can you use.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
So, so much RNG in the gauntlet. You can run in with a good deck after the main game and get instantly destroyed by a bad hand.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Either need more coin rewards, reduced skill cost or choice of card draw. You are unnecessarily making the game frustratingly hard.

Oops, wrong game. I think the most valuable tool in the game is the reset button. There should be a keyboard shortcut for it. One bit of bad luck, and your situation will deteriorate from there, and there's no digging out of that hole. Just reset and try again. And again. And again...

It's lame that the gauntlet is only level 7 but with more and more starting blight. I don't think gauntlet 8 is even doable, all spaces have 7 blight.
