Incredible work Evengy! I played it during the submission period but it's clear that you've done a ton of work on it since then. Allow me to congratulate you in advance for passing to round 3!

Totally deserve first place in my opnion. Only negative I had was with the tutorial being lenghtly for mechanics prety simpe like the cost of card but the voice acting made it not to bad. Great work man

A tried and true case of a sequel that outclasses the original.

Every element of the game is refined and polished here, especially the gameplay loop and the visuals, great work.

Very cool atmosphere and amazing visuals. I like that you were able to incorporate projectiles into a card game. The tutorial is very cool and tells a great story. But I can't skip the tutorial even though I've watched it before, and it's quite lengthy. The deck has some slight balance issues - the chance to draw hero cards is a little bit low.

Another small issue is that I wish there was an indicator showing when I can draw cards for free versus when I need to spend essence.

Still an amazing game though! I hope you'll continue developing it.
