So rather than playing a game in full, you are playing to unlock the ability to unlock new locations that add little to nothing to the greater game aside from visual variety. Great, I unlocked the ability to do it all over again with one new location... why? A…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game seemed like an interesting concept, but there were a lot of small issues. The tutorial gave me a bad first impression. I didn't even see the "quests" section initially telling me what I needed to do. After that there were certain objectives that were unclear. More details are given when hovering over a quest, but I only found that out by accident. The menu UI in the top left was too large, obscuring everything in the top left corner of the screen, and everything else seemed too…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stacklands but you're a vampire lord. Worth the price, especially on sale.

unlabelledView post →great game so far, can easily recommend if you like witchhand or stacklands. It has more depth than either of those games. Menus could use a bit of work and the tutorial is pretty useless, but its not hard to figure out if you just experiment a bit. I will update this review with some constructive criticism after i play for a few more hours.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My biggest problem with the game is that the core gameplay loop is pretty boring. It consits of staring at the screen and waiting for resources to spawn and sending your vampires to harvest them or your minions to hunt the animals. That's it. You spend most of the game staring at the map and clicking on resources as they pop up. Hope you like it. That is my biggest problem with the game, but I also want to adress a few other issues: 1) Minions and equipment: There are a few different types of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I should have played the demo. This isn't my bag.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's just a cookie clicker with a vampire theme. Not really engaging enough for me. I thought this was going to be a deck builder but it's just a merging game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decks of the Damned by @thoriangames.bsky.social Still dunno what to call this type of #roguethingie game...#cardstacker? Anyway, gameplay similar to #stacklands. Here, you'll play a vampire trying to rebuild your castle. Try it out! #indiegame #gamedev
unlabelledView post →We've just announced Decks of the Damned by the super talented @thoriangames.bsky.social!! The game is a gem, and I'm super glad to be part of its publishing team at Goblinz. If you like vampires and roguelikes, don't miss the demo!🧛🦇
unlabelledView post →I dropped this review because, at the time of writing, the game is getting bad reviews I don't think it deserves. It's a neat little deck builder and merge game with a satisfying sense of progression. I completed my first loop in 3 hours, including the tutorial, and that got me through burning down two villages and taking the local castle down, only to start building my own. It is not a polished experience. I came here for a breather from Book of Hours and this doesn't hold a candle to it. But…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like this alot. It keeps evolving and you find new stuff constantly. And i absolutely love the look and artwork!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My 900 years old vampire lord died to a rabbit.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If only this game have received a little more attention... Maybe then developer could have had a motivation to actually finish it... But it didn't. And the game was left in pretty bad shape. They didn't even remove "Wishlist on steam" link - looks like some kind of artifact from a demo. It's playable, yes, but other reviews are right - core gameplay is ok for one, maybe two runs and then it becomes outright boring. Game is just too easy (spawn all 9 minions and you can zerg-rush all human…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Way too tedious to recommend. Having enough resources to craft but having to pull the perfect amount feels way too unnecessary. I'd love to dive into the game more but this is severely holding me back.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is defiantly worth 10$. But dont expect anything more than 10$ worth of gameplay. The 1st run is fun and getting new content is great, but it gets very repetitive very quickly. If you like these kind of "stackland" games, you will love this. If you dont, you will like the first go around. Game has potential, just needs more content and variety.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's super fun, as someone who hasn't played a lot of similar games in the past I could grasp this one quickly! I look forward to going into my next run of conquest! I would definitely grab a copy of this if you're interested.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Been enjoying this on my day off. It has some Cultist Simulator Vibes to it, but plays very differently. I'm hoping some of the game aspects get ironed out a little more, like the meta progression. Essentially, you build yourself up on a chosen map tile, and migrate to others as needed for resources or to make yourself stronger, then do a clean sweep of the enemy base tiles to get your meta progression currency. As you beat 'curse levels' new ones unlock and increase the difficulty. Bought…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →12: Decks of the Damned, @thoriangames.bsky.social This card-stacking game tasks your vampires with crafting tools & raising minions, with a day/night cycle that tests your defenses & multiple biomes that vary the threats. store.steampowered.com/app/2159900/...
unlabelledView post →Loved it. Scratched an itch I needed. This is a strong recommend for anyone who likes tableau card games like this. I'll go over what it does great, but lets start with the cons: - Some ongoing bugs (rescuing items from bandits leaves the items locked, if you fill your wagon and go on two raids in a row some of your items will be deleted, missing recipes, etc.) - One broken achievement (greatsword) and one broken artifact quest (30 blood) - Some frustrating balance decisions (castle has no…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decks of the Damned, developed by Thorian Games and published by Goblinz Publishing alongside Maple Whispering Limited, is an ambitious genre hybrid that fuses deckbuilding, roguelite progression, auto-battler logic, and light base management into a single interconnected system. Rather than focusing on one dominant mechanic, it builds its identity around how these systems interact, creating a gameplay loop that feels layered and experimental. It’s a game that asks players not just to make…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good game and passionate devs who listen to the community. Absolutely can recommend for people who like roguelite card games or just strategy it would be a 8/10, but because of kind devs, it's 9/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Incredibly good looking and fun! Card game survival game done right! <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game. Needs a better way to manage your creatures' equipment. Couldn't get any left-click bindings to work on Steam Deck, so it is currently unplayable (clicking works in menu, but not on the cards themselves it seems).
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great little game! Bought it on sale, but worth full price. High replayability, and hours of fun. This will be a time sink.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →100%ed the game and enjoyed doing it. Card and time management, while you are trying to figure how to progress both on the meta progression and the ingame progression. It works out pretty well.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →is not bad. got to have patience to play this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you played stacklands, you'll love this game. It is like that, but brings its own uniqueness to the table. Even in early access, I've been able to put 50 hours into the game until I unlocked everything. There are several unique mechanics making this much more than just an imitation. There are vampires that you can change their abilities and stats, several unique monsters for combat, very different feeling enemy types, good combo crafting to high tier items (like the ank shield in terraria)…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good stuff! Crazy underrated game 👍
