Really cool game! I'm not really a fan of deck builders, so I'm not the best judge of it on a mechanical standpoint, but it was pretty responsive and the difficulty selection was a welcome addition to someone who doesn't really play deck builders. I wish that some of the enemy actions were a little more clear in what they were doing, especially in the final boss when it's just saying name of previous enemies. Like I said before, I don't play a lot of deck builders so I don't know what I should be expecting or where I should be looking for the effects, so it was just a touch confusing to me as a beginner. The cards on my side were well described in their effects, so part of me just wishes there was something like that for the enemy as well.
Really nicely balanced game mechanics! It felt like you got a lot of options with just these cards. I liked the randomized options for reward cards, and how you had to reconstruct your deck. It's a lot more limited options than you might expect from a deck builder, since you have to trash something permanently in order to add something new. Hard mode was a good challenge.
I really liked seeing all the different characters that you've added to the game and I liked the game itself. I'd recommend adding an option to be able to click the cards as well as use the number keys. The duke didn't have a chance..
