Please continue this game.... its awesome and I really would like an ending or at least different levels of difficulty to beat it at

This isn't so much of a game as a AI image sorter... more like something someone would actually get paid for

Could you even call this a game??? You are sorting AI generated images.

I beat it with wizards!

I had two level three 1st books and two wizards. It was fun.

Sort of a bug: I temperately froze the game by spamming the 2 second freeze card. I believe that is since the frozen time stacks. Remove the stack!

 I've never tried a fully ranged set! 

Thank you!  I failed to see how useful the 3rd book would be against the king! When I play it doesn't say it doubles but says it adds just +1 attack!

Wizards aren't 'bad' but they are hard to utilize correctly. Wizards can't "load"/"stack" spent spells. For example, you spend 3 spells. You might expect to have the wizard have 3 spell attacks loaded. However, the wizard will only attack once and the other two are wasted. This is hard to utilize with the 1st book because it requires movement for damage so you want to set it off early especially if you are targeting archers.

Truly Amazing Game!

Tips for those that are stuck:

Creating a level 3 piece creates a better item on the top right of the item box (use that before creating another level 3 piece).

Sometimes it is better to have two level 2's than a single 3.

Without money houses, optimal buying is for 1 reroll and 3 pieces.

Don't freeze to much in the early rounds. You want have the option to buy better pieces.

Always get the first book and use to replace the shield.

Use your first book as soon as possible in the round since it triggers by movement.

Wait to use your 2nd (skeleton) book for the row that needs it.

If you don't need to use the skeleton book, then don't. That way you can delay seeing the final boss.

Don't buy the 3rd book.

The Final Boss:

Final boss is always in the middle. Have your best pieces there since as long as you kill the king you technically win.

Before the final boss, sell all your buildings and any useless pieces.

Use the 1st book on any enemy shield pieces in the second row (or if you are definitely going to win, use it on his two knights).

Specifically:

Assassins behind tanks with shields = win.

Stone thrower > Archer since they only attack their column (more predictable) and upgraded stone throwers continue to throw.

Make a single row for summon/summoners = win.

Money house = win.

Like @El_Makina, the shield item is overpowered.

Don't buy the 3rd book or the wizard piece.

Different image! I guess she becomes a skeleton. Thanks for sharing

I've always loved this game. This feels very different than the former version. Smart of you to  lower the Initiate Faith gain from 2 to 1 and kept the Supplicant the same. 

Some critiques because I LOVE this game and want to see you make a ton of money on Steam. I really don't like the 'support' followers that aren't even a wall like in the old game. 

Big idea: REGAINING CONTROL AS THE PLAYER

1. Allow players to choose between recruiting attributes/upgrades or followers...

1.5 Or at least add the ability to reroll followers given a Faith cost (similar LOL's TFT or Dota 2's Underworld). You could also have similar followers combine.

2. Limit the amount of Faith like in the first game. Now the more Faith, the better the options even if you have 20 Faith in the first 4 rounds.

3. Showing followers out of your Faith range... that was the case in the first version but now you are limited to what you can buy which PREVENTS long term planning using the lock mechanism. (Maybe limit to 1 out of range per showing).

4. Be able to speed up the game (skip the first battle as well).

Big idea: ARCHITYPES

I miss the architypes of the original game.  Generally, you would get some low level followers and hope to get the higher ups that made the architype. The architypes in order of power were:

a. "Upon Death" - Stacking Conscripts, Supplicants, Ghost, Flagbearer and others, would combo into the the "Upon Death" Hellhound for easy wins. Put the Incarnator in front of the Hellhound for some stupid stats. Combine with Speaker to spread the love. (SEE BELOW)

b. "PUMP UP / Cleric Stacking" - The +1/+1 from the Cleric was so much stronger in the old version as it was for EVERY NEW FOLLOWER (but only once each turn, not that that mattered). Whole teams were made of 4 Clerics giving followers a +4/+4 boost. Worked really well with Conscripts. Mix with Alchemist for potions to dump on Conscripts. Or use Sanctuary. (SEE BELOW)

c. "Double Attack" - Pump your Turret with Archivist/Alchemist and then put it behind a Incarnator. (SEE BELOW)

d. "Faith Based" - Nerfed correctly (but not in this upgraded version) by working only if all followers were unique. Since Faith is buying power, it needs to be nerfed in order to create balance. Still, it was a very hard architype to pull off as you needed the follower that gains faith per attack (Seeker) and the follower that attacks again each time faith is gained. (Never got Crusader to be good enough)

e. "Defense" - Try to make the Templar, Herald, etc  (+1 attack damage per attack) to work by having high levels of defense. Not easy in the slightest since the final boss attacked 3 times. This is much easier in this version of the game.

You have added some new architypes that I really enjoy. I'd love to make a broken "random" damage team. But it seems so random what followers I receive and I really don't have any control over it.  And I love that you have made "Medic" actually viable. Medic was terrible before. It allows for a weanie win team comp like seem below.

 I'd be a game tester for this game any day. 

HOLY SHIT! AN UPDATE!!!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!? PAY THE MAN!

I beat it on hard... 

strategies that don't work: 

+4 demon for every 4 cost (if you remove the four cost with the hungry 1 power, it doesn't stack but lowers back down uggghhh)

most other demons

strategies that work:

chainsaw demon is required. Note that this demon won't work unless surrounded prior to casting.

What I did:

on the 1 and 3 cast the best demon you can find (11 solo demon)

tally: 22

on the 2, consume the 1 and 3 demon with the 1 power

tally: 23

on the 4 and 5 cast the 1-shot demon (17 power each)

tally: 34 + 23 = 57

on the 1 and 3 cast the chainsaw difference demon (5 + differences)

tally: 2*[ (5-1) + (17-5) + 5] = 42 + 57 = 99

I love this! Seriously an amazing game. I've tried every different deck idea.  PLAY IT!!!!

TOMORROW'S THE BIG DAY!

I am saddened that this feature is being removed and angry that you got bullied into removing something. 

This is why we can't have nice things? We live in a society...

I will buy this game. Add some more features and take my money please

Good dialogue, fast game. I was wondering if there were different paths in the dialogue.

The path that I took led to a "date." Anyone else?

One thing to note is that the frames go in order... so the last one (bottom right) should be in the final part of the story... the very end... work your way backward from there.
