its good dont wanna write a whole thing. ending of story is kinda lame, but everything else is good zombie smashing and parkour flipping fun.

2025 Game of the Year; It may have once entered into early access years ago, but its release was this year.

I've been doing on paper work and infrastructure diagrams in order to plan and build more efficiently.
I didn't even do that with Factorio, and I love Factorio.

This game is incredible. I'll probably be a few hundred more hours before too long.

The Factory must grow.

This is an absolute gem of a roguelike.
Brilliantly fun, tons of unlocks and variety, lots of interesting scenarios, some good resource management combat, and the vibes are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ perfect. I only have 2 major complaints; The gampad layout could use an update, as there is no way to swap units to a blank space with controller alone, and the music and soundtrack is FANTASTIC, but needs more songs added in.

See ya Space Cowboys...

I have already beaten, 100%ed this game on Playstation. I have already given over 300 hours to this game.

Time to do it again, and then some more.

Excellent. An extremely hard to put down, and a very fun deckbuilding rogue-like.

Excellent. Wears its inspirations out on the forefront and creates a phenomenal deckbuilding, strategy combat experience.
If you enjoy Slay the Spire, FTL, and/or Into the Breach, you will strongly enjoy the combat and gameflow of Alina of the Arena.

and its got a dodge roll so its kinda like a soulslike.

I wish there was a third/neutral option to give for review.
I do recommend trying this game out if you enjoy rouguelike fps games, doom clones, or survivor style games, but due to the unfinished state of the game while in Early Access (As of 12/01/2023) and the default template menus used for the UI, and the inconsistent menu functions while using a controller, I would wait to pick this up if you are interested. Its fun, but at the cost of jank.

Some good game play is buried under the very rough and unfinished edges of this product, but I think if the devs truly throw the effort into polishing this experience, this can be a great game.

This is a temporary review;

This is excellent so far, I'm only a small ways in, and i can tell immediately, this is a good game, with a great sense of souls like design. i plan to make a full review later, upon completion of the game.

Pros: I think that tts is a good way to play some board games long distance with friends.

Cons: the global chat is unmoderated to instances of hate, slurs, and general nastiness, but the ♥♥♥♥ that will get you banned is being publicly gay, trans, or anywhere else on the LGBTQ spectrum. If you hate that gay people exist, this games global chat is for you. The developer use not only aware of this, but has publicly said they will not fix it, and they consider taking about any trans or LGBTQ topics is taking"politically" and is not appropriate. ♥♥♥♥ you berserk games, I'm uninstalling, and will not load it up again. Tabletopia I've actually had a better experience with as well for putting a game together quickly. I wish I never gave this product so many hours, so that I can get a refund

Gonna write a full review later, in brief:
This is a game from the creator of Pony Island.
Nothing is presented in a straight forward manner.
This is a NOT a rougue-like game, despite how it may appear.
This is a card based, story driven game.
The Store page only represents part of the game.

This game has defied my expectations, and elevated them for whatever Daniel Mullins does next.
