This game with an EA tag is a misnomer. Against the Storm is pretty much a fully fleshed out game, and continues to have significant improvements and development. How do you keep polishing perfection? Ask these devs.

24 hours in: I have decided to fully support whichever game the dev does next.

👍 Game starts off like you're immediately on StS Ascension 5 or something once you get out of tutorial. It will keep on beating your hero's sorry face and make you feel stupid until you figure things out. And once you feel that you figured things out? Still doesn't get easier. It will still make you feel stupid for missing out the tiniest details just seconds after you commit to a turn. I love it.

If you're coming from Slay the Spire, Monster Train or Across the Obelisk, definitely pick this up.
If you've never played any of those three, and you were just enticed by how nice the game looks, please don't. You'll just hate it.

👍 UPDATE: Almost 10 hours in. I feel like I already have a good grasp of the mechanics and unit rotations. But dang man, this game really is very hard. It's like a mix of Monster Train and Into the Breach, somewhat.

👍 UPDATE: After 31 hours of the AI repeatedly wiping out my squad silly, I finally got a win. I don't know if I could pull off another win again. I know I have good game sense now, but I am in no way confident in what I am doing. Game is definitely harder than Into the Breach. It's my first win after 31 joyful hours of pain here - with ITB I got a handful of wins and I only have 20 total play hours there. Both are fun though. Pain.

👎 UPDATE: Game's last substantial update was way back late August this year. It is now December, and things have gotten stale. Sure, the game looks adorable, art is nice and all - but eventually that'll get old and people will look past the lovely aesthetics and will focus on the actual game underneath all the cute fluff. Right now, the number of valid builds is very limited. Most non-meta builds are glaringly ineffective, even to low/no-bell runs. This pales in comparison to Slay the Spire and Monster Train. The game needs a lot more cards, companions, heroes and status effects, and more build variety. Starting difficulty takes a while to get used to, but it's nice once you get the hang of it. Oh crap, I can't believe I'm downvoting this after 74 hours. Game needs a massive update. Downvoting for now. Pain.
