Poker Roguelite - Looking for Feedback

We are looking for constructive criticism and feedback on our demo for The Golden Caravan.

We have lots of ideas to where to take the game, but we need a clear answer first if the core battle mechanic is fun and hooking enough.

The story is not implemented yet in the game, but to give a quick idea:

When your grandfather, a revered locksmith, is kidnapped by the ruthless gangster known as The Great Owl, it's up to you to infiltrate the infamous Golden Caravan casino and rescue him.

Battle your way through its treacherous floors, face cunning foes in intense poker-themed confrontations, and uncover the dark secrets behind the city's oppression. 

Can you outwit The Great Owl, rescue your grandfather, and restore justice to your city?

What We’d Like to Know

We’re particularly interested in hearing your thoughts on:

  • Battle Mechanics: How do you find the poker-themed battles? Do they add strategic depth to your gameplay?
  • Artifacts: Have you discovered and used the artifacts? How do they impact your strategy and enjoyment?
  • Weapons: What’s your experience with our new weapons? Do they feel balanced and impactful in combat?

Thank you, and looking forward to reading your feedback <3

I do not like this game for one reason. The game makes all of the choices and I get to react to them. At no point did I get to make a meaningful choice.

Thanks a ton for trying it out!  You are right, at this point that is the case. There is some luck involved, but not a lot of agency (other than what you play). We have a lot of ideas to tackle this, we will work on them on future versions to overcome this issue

I am sure the next version will be great. You have some interesting ideas. I don't want to sound mean, but I don't get a choice in what I play. The game decides which cards I get and where the best place to put them is. All I get to do is look for a pattern. Good luck. :)

I agree, and not offended at all :D
