This Deckbuilder Roguelite Escalates Way Too Quickly | The Kynge's Gambit demo
2Hello everyone! This is another gameplay of a demo that was present during the Steam Next Fest and now once again during the Dreamhack Beyond event. The game is called The Kynge's Gambit and it is a deckbuilder roguelite where you can play up to one card against each enemy. It sounds nice enough at the start, but here are the issues. First, you don't know the enemy's intentions unless they are coming to you with a powerful attack (so they could be blocking, performing a "weak" attack, preparing a counterattack, healing, etc...), and the idea (for what I understood) is to save your counters and dodges for them, but sometimes an attack dealing 18 damage is not a powerful one, so you will just eat the damage.
Also, you only draw 1 card at the end of the turn if you face 2 or less enemies, and you draw 2 cards if you face 3... Considering you will be using one more card than the ones you draw, there will be turns where you won't have cards to play, and that's a big risk.
And last... You are way too weak. I don't know if there is a way that I missed to get better cards or better equipment, but my powerful cards where dealing 12 damage, and the weak ones 5, while I was facing enemies that could deal 20-30 damage, and I am not talking about a final boss, just the third enemy of the run... So I missed something or this needs some serious re-balance, because I saw in the trailer that you can play cards dealing damage to all enemies, but I never got to select cards to add to my deck
