I can build and play my decks without spending. Still love the physical cards though.

This game is a phenomenal twin-stick shooter with bumping tunes, stylish looks, and gameplay similar to ARPGs in the fast paced action but never a dull moment. I have played many shoot-em-ups in the past but never have I been this hooked to one like this. There is near endless replayability with its roguelike gameplay and a semi-RPG system letting you access new weapons the higher you get. The items your character can use are also extremely fun to use as I decimate the opposition like butter, if I start one with a good gun of course. The levels are intense, especially as you approach the end when all hell breaks loose. There are 4 different characters to play with 2 unlocked in the beginning so you can try different playstyles.

Overall, this game is super fun solo and can be played split screen with buddies. Hopefully it can get online multiplayer in the future.

One thing to note is that there seems to be quite a severe memory leak issue if you keep it running for a long time so be aware of that. That should be fixed quite easily too.

The only issue I've noticed other than that is that the mouse doesn't lock onto the game so I sometimes press out of the game since I have 2 monitors. I've heard this is one line of code by experienced veterans so the game devs should be able to fix that quite easily.

Definitely worth the money.

Daughter of Shadows: An SCP Breach Event is a 2D (2-dimensional) sidescroller where you play as SCP-029, the Daughter of Shadows/Darkness/Night, which can bend men to her will, a core feature of the game. The game starts off with the SCP Foundation having a power outage and you escape your cell as a result of SCP-106 who brings you to his dimension (he is seen in the popular SCP Containment Breach game).

Objective:

The main objective is escape the facility. There are several familiar SCPs that serve as enemies such as SCP-173 who will snap your neck (most recognizable in SCP: Containment Breach),a bengal cat and several more, as well as regular SCP guards who will try to take you down. You must gather minions to protect you and those can only be men as that is her power. Essentially it's a survival game, as it's a SCP free-for-all, yet you are the only one that really wants to leave. You'll need to get 2 keycards and activate the emergency power to escape which is randomized on every run. A familiar SCP will also be able to help you escape if you encounter it during a lucky run.

Controls:

You move using A for moving left and D for moving right. W is for going through doors and accessing interactive things such as PCs, signs, etc. S is for sending out your thugs to attack whatever is in front of you. H is for healing if you meet the SCP that can do that. Spacebar is possessing men to act as human shields and your main source of attack.

Graphics:

Simple, yet good enough to recognize the setting and NPCs.

Game Mechanics:
The spawn locations are randomized on each run (you start from beginning every time you die), but room layout can be similar for the rooms every time (some slight changes may occur). The SCPs that you encounter will also be randomized on each run as well.Tutorial is straight-forward that teaches the main mechanic of possession/mind-control.

Con:
The only major con that people may find annoying is that you have to go through the tutorial every time you restart, although it takes only like 1 minute if you skip all the talking.

tl;dr
Good sidescrolling rogue-like SCP game with many achievements that places you into the role of an SCP trying to escape.

Score:
9/10

Nice little indie game with a familiar setting and solid gameplay for a $1.09 CDN. I don't regret the purchase at all! I actually got it for $0.65 (40% sale) which is a steal.

4v1 horror game. Unique game that allows for 4 survivors vs the monster. Simple mechanic, loads of fun.
