    Cool! It mechanically plays like any other roguelike deckbuilder with the difference of using a fixed amount of bullets (cards basically) and the way the interact with each other. The most interesting part are the boogeys, creatures of folklore and legends from all around the world, each country has a unique boss that gets stronger the more days pass. It's fun to build a deck with the different bullets, organize the time to travel from place to place (with random events too) and trying to be…

    I really like what this game does. It's essentially Slay the Spire meets Xcom. So, why the negative review? 1) The bugs. Out of 10 runs, I only ever had ONE run where I did not need to quit to the main menu and forfeit an entire fight's worth of progress at the minimum. It constantly hangs up on whose turn it is mid fight and sometimes post-fight it will simply break. A few times is understandable, nearly every game is not. 2) The mechanics aren't fleshed out. One of the core pieces of…

    [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/36948155-Card-Game-KING/] FOR MORE CARD AND BOARD GAMES FOLLOW US CARD GAME KING Interesting, and decently doe blend of deckbuilding and light dice rolling, but anything outside of these two doesn't quite always hit the mark. To briefly describe the gameplay: During combat you place up to 3 bullets (cards) into your gun in order in which they will be played. Some cards require a dice roll which gets stronger the more bullets of that type there…

    A chill ammo-building game, definitely on the simpler side. You won't find overly complicated bullets, however there is enough variety to branch out to different builds throughout the game. Managing travelling times is very important as enemies scale with days passed and you can suddenly find yourself fighting an overpowered monsters. I have not experienced any crashing/bugs while playing this game, all runs smoothly for me. I recommend this game if you are looking for a chill…

    Boogey Hunters is a strategic roguelike deck-building game developed by Keep The Engine Games and published by Rogue Duck Interactive alongside Gamersky Games. At its core, the game merges turn-based tactical combat with a unique ammunition-combination system that replaces traditional card mechanics. Instead of relying on spell cards or character abilities alone, players build attack sequences by assembling different types of bullets that determine the power and effects of each shot. This…

    In all honesty, I feel like the boogey's you fight against are way too powerful once they level up to their second phase. Secondly, when it comes to combat, it seems like everything is in your opponent's favor. Even if you create a chain combo, the enemy's buffs will negate its effects.

    Occasional freezes that require exiting and reloading from the end of the previous fight. Sound doesn't work on my machine (possibly Proton-related, or possibly selecting a specific audio device that isn't the machine's default audio device, and it's not configurable, or maybe something else; doesn't really matter, the point is no sound.) The interfaces are just ... not very well-made. For example, if there's a trader in a country, the trader icon acts as a "block" to prevent clicks from…

    Too early to talk about balance, replay, and depth, but so far the game is fun. Feels like a casual slay the spire type game, with some great ideas of its own

    Nope. No fun. None difficulty options, for accessibility or changing the time or even (be crazy) without a timing. And seems to have a trouble when closing the game with memory (after the game closed).

    The game is truly fun! The artwork has a unique style, and the music is perfectly chosen. Once I started playing, I couldn’t stop. Thanks to the leaderboard, you can see your ranking among players worldwide. I’m really looking forward to unlocking new characters!

    Received this from a giveaway from a vtuber friend of mine named Index Paige. Gotta say, this game has got a really solid gameplay style, and it's really fun going around blasting cryptids in the face, especially once you've got your combo going and understand the game mechanics more thoroughly. There are SOME complaints (can't refer back to information you've observed mid-hunt, encyclopedia doesn't carry over between games (I get that there's a mystery aspect to it, but I would like to just…

    If you ever wanted to try your hand on the hunting business like in Supernatural try this game. You can observe and learn about the monsters like Sam or you can just go in guns blazing all Dean like. But beware of the consequenzes of not knowing the monsters moves. All references aside the game is a fun variant on the usual deckbuilder roguelike with a nice coat of the supernatural. You start of with a small deck of bullets and after each killed monster you get more bullets to develop a deck…

    I really enjoyed the level design and the art style—both were truly impressive and added a lot to the experience. One of the things that stood out most to me was the music; it creates a strong atmosphere, which is something you don’t often find in this genre. There were moments where I just stopped to enjoy the soundtrack. The game also offers a nice variety of content and presents different strategies to explore, which I found very well thought out. Overall, I’m having a great time playing…

    Nope. I'm suspecting most reviews are bots. This game is almost impossible to read and the gameplay is completely without balance.

    Casual fun. Simple with depth. Some bugs, some issues at the edges, but if you're looking for a nice strategic casual roguelike to explore for a few hours - this can be it.

    The different cryptids all look really cool and love the mechanic of them evolving as time passes. The music is also pretty good with the western cover of House of the Rising Sun being the stand out song. This is just a really fun creative rougelike deckbuilder!

    Deckbuilders live and die over synergies between cards (here, bullets). In this game, synergies are very shallow, and it doesn't feel like there's a lot of room either for randomness or for planning.

    Not everyone can pull off adding a boogey twist to a Western atmosphere, but Boogey Hunters does just that. It offers a unique visual style and a bold gameplay experience. The character designs and atmosphere are particularly impressive. It's refreshing to see such a polished product from an independent team. Despite a few minor technical glitches, this is a game with soul. A deck-building experience that hasn't lost its soul. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

    Boogey Hunters Deck building game where you hunt regional folkloric monsters. The bullet-loading system is a novel spin, but I don't quite get the day system. I'm looking forward to see how it develops.
