54 of 54 · most liked firstThis game is fun but without some concept, it can be hard to grasp. I play one deck dungeon and have some tips for those players. This game comes with 2 books Galaxy Guidebook and Adversary QuickGuide (where symbols are listed). How to win: Remove all Adversary Discs (Can be obtained) How to lose: Overwhelmed with no Adversary Discs Layout: Your Civilization + Milestones [Left hand side] (flip by clicking on Current Federation Level icon) Adversary Card + Confrontation Card [Top Mid] (flip by…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love One Deck Dungeon. I _want_ to love this game. I love the new and different mechanics, I love the new style of being able to interact with all four "doors" at once. I love having each adversary have a very different mechanic. In theory, I should love this game. But I don't, because it's an unbalanced mess. You'll get cards you absolutely cannot defeat. Many games are over before you've even taken your first turn, since the combination of Encounters / Enemies and Scenario renders…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have the physical (board) version of this game and to those of you who were hoping for an electronic version, let me tell you about how this game lines up. First, this version has strengths where the physical board has weaknesses. Namely, it is not so easy to make a mistake. The physical board is plagued with the game complexity and moving cards around (such as rotating the influence cards). In this game, you won't have to deal with that. You also don't have to deal with the complexity of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have a hard time saying "don't buy this" because it had a good idea. The problem resolves around the difficulty just being too high. So far I've only played as a single player (one species, one empire type) and have played against every adversary type. I've only won a single game, but came close to a second other than misreading how my empire leveled up in its last way (there's a lot of problems parsing game text and mapping that to UI actions; they aren't BAD just... confusing to figure…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an enjoyable dice game with solid art and interface that is way harder than I expected. I recommend opening up the manual from the menu before diving in, as the tutorials, while helpful, were not enough for me to figure out the game. The recommended Plumplim Botanists versus The Hungry Nebula took me several tries, but I am curious to see what the other races and adversaries are like.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is poorly tuned for timing. Everything you do feels rushed. On top of that, the encounters are much too powerful while and too difficult to reliably deal with. An early encounter or two is enough to end a game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It could use more polish, a tutorial, some QoL improvements (keyboard shortcuts for one), and filling in the rest of the content from the physical game (e.g. missing 2 of the Adversaries). But the Early Access as is definitely playable and a full (enough) game! Looking forward to future updates! And perhaps being able to play this on mobile, tablet, and even Switch!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My biases out of the way, I am a bit of a fanboy of this developer. They have made some of my favorite games, all ports of board games. They have a good track record of quality work, even if it takes them a while sometimes. (Edit: Tutorial has now been implemented) As of now, the game is a bit overwhelming. Right now, everything is thrown at you up front and it takes some time to sort through it all. A proper tutorial is in the works, so I imagine it will be better later. As of now, this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played One Deck Dungeon quite a bit on my phone and liked the concept, but always felt there was a lack of strategy. This game ups the ante and, while more difficult to initially grasp, has made me actually have to think about how to overcome an adversary. I have been impressed enough by it that I have actually considered buying the actual board game. If you like heavier board games, with depth to them, and don't mind the occasional bad dice roll - this game is good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One Deck Galaxy might be smaller in scope than One Deck Dungeon, but in terms of strategic depth I feel it goes much deeper. It was a little hard for me to understand how each of the adversaries worked, but I found just hopping into a game with them is a very effective teacher, and by the end I've got a good grasp on how to approach them in future games. I really like how each adversary has multiple paths to victory, and how the luck aspect is successfully mitigated by there being a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It needs more play testing. The difficulty ramp up is severe. It looks like a lot of fun but then losing over and over and over on the easiest encounter gets frustrating.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kinfire Delve seems like an interesting mostly solo game where you defeat challenges to deplete a deck of cards ending in a boss fight. In fact, it’s a bit like One Deck Galaxy in reverse. It’s not evident to me that it has a lot of replayability but time will tell. #boardgames
unlabelledView post →I bought this game because I love One Deck Dungeon. This game is much more complex, but once you get an understanding of how everything works, it is very enjoyable. There are many more viable options for you to do than in One Deck Dungeon, but the game is also much more difficult. It will most likely take losing a few times before you get a grasp on some of the more complex adversaries. I have not played the physical version, but I imagine this digital copy is much easier and faster to setup…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I found this game difficult to pick up. The various mechanics were not self-explanatory and the oddly scripted tutorial didn't help. After 3 hours of trying to play I just found myself, wanting to play one deck dungeon instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While One Deck Dungeon is elegant, this one is a mess. Campaign mode is clunky, and after tutorial you just can't get into it - you need to read manual. Tutorial is basically animated video where you have no agency and learn just to follow commands. And game itself is complicated w/o reason - in nutshell, it is same 4 cards -> fill spaces with cubes, repeat. But now you have more stuff to worry about like resources and boss being annoying. ODD managed bosses by increasing complexity of cards…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Did not enjoy this game at all. I loved one deck dungeon. One deck dungeon was easy to understand and fun to play. This game felt like a stressful mess. This should not be considered a spiritual successor to the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was BUILT for digital adaptation. The game is highly strategic and crunchy. Not what you'd expect from a dice game (like it's little brother one deck dungeon) Warning: It is pretty daunting to learn a bunch of rules for each adversary, so for now I'll stick for hungry nebula which is gracefully explained in the tutorial! You can go through a full run in about 30 minutes, which finally makes it possible to try all the race + support + nemesis combinations. (there is a LOT of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a great game. There's enough going on that each turn feels like an entire game, so that's nice. Can take a break at anytime and be able to easily pick up where you left off. For this early access version, took me a lot longer than expected to learn what everything does.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCSgXbGrMAs
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is yet another slick, well-polished digital board game adaptation by Handelabra Games. :D One Deck Galaxy is the natural evolution of One Deck Dungeon. Already a fun game, ODG strives to take a whole bunch of less than fun aspects of its predecessor and turn them into opportunities. But also it's way hard!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Although I did enjoy One Deck Dungeon for the most part, I found One Deck Galaxy to be a more enjoyable experience. There is more complexity with this game; therefore, the learning curve is noticeably higher compared to the first game. I ended up running through the tutorial multiple times prior to starting a new game or campaign on my own; however, the additional time spent doing the tutorial was worth it. Once you learn all the mechanics, this game is actually easier to play in the sense…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very nice adaption of the board game! And super helpful to understand the rules, many things clarified while playing this. It takes some time to dive into the depth of the game, but it is definitely worth it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"One Deck Galaxy," is a digital adaptation of the tabletop card and dice game by Asmadi Games. As a successor to "One Deck Dungeon," it challenges players to build a civilization from a humble homeworld into a sprawling federation, all while contending with various adversaries. Pros: - Strategic Depth: The game offers a rich blend of dice placement and resource management, requiring thoughtful planning to progress effectively. - Diverse Combinations: With multiple homeworlds, societies, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The learning curve and difficulty is ridiculous. Unfortunately, it's not in a good way.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really needs quick animation for undo button and also more easily to select multiple die. But great game if you liked One Deck Dungeon or Race/Roll for the Galaxy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Similar to One Deck Dungeon but with much less emphasis on getting higher dice rolls. Lots of different choices on each turn, but it is by no means a simple game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You want to pick up this game for the same reason you want to pick up this game in your FLBGS - it's a quick start, it's quick to pick up, it's easy to follow the tips for beginners, it's got increasing challenges for experts to hone in on, it's quirky rule-bending to change it up when you want something new, it's engaging, it's challenging, and most of all, it's got a weird sense of "how-is-this-game-so-much-in-such-a-small-package?" Easy is easy, and hard mode is *hard.* You're gonna think,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's only alpha and already works fine. Had no issues while playing and it helped me understand all the rules that wasn't clear until now for the card Game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →@jeanofmarc.bsky.social I just booted up One Deck Galaxy for the first time and minutes later I can't bring myself to start the game because I can't handle a future where the menu music stops for even a minute. Well done sir!
unlabelledView post →A great experience on its own and the most approachable way to learn the physical card game. Playing this version makes it easier to understand the rules for the physical game. If you haven't heard of One Deck Galaxy, it's a reimagining of the One Deck Dungeon system into a crunchy, complex civilization-building game. You choose a homeworld and a society to get bonuses, and then you're rolling a pool of dice to explore colonies, fight off hostile encounters, expand your dice pool, unlock…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →so much easier to play, than the physical game. since some aspects that I don't understand are automated.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I usually enjoy a challenge, but I feel this game is way overtuned, I've won a few games but I've lost the majority of them against the first two adversaries. I feel like I only have a chance if I specifically build for that adversary (I've tried less desirable combos that I wanted to try and I just kept losing very fast). It's a bit fiddly in real life so I'm grateful for the digital version and it's not like it's the digital developer's fault, althought I would appreciate some house rules to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game! More complex than One Deck Dungeon, but in a good way. There's more to it. Highly recommend. Waiting for it on mobile now.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: Fun gameplay and mechanics. Cons: Controller navigation can be a little tricky at times. Conclusion: I really enjoy the game. I am happy to see a digital version. The game has a good tutorial to learn how to play along music that fits the gameplay. I recommend this game and One Deck Dungeon for card gamers.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got this to make sure I was playing the physical game correctly, and thankfully I did because there were things that I had misunderstood. Having cheevs to do adds a lot of fun and replays. The more I play this game the more I like it. It hits the sweet spot of difficulty. Not too easy. Not too hard; unless you want it to be. Highly recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's a TON going on in this game and I found it difficult to follow what I should do in any given situation. The tutorial/rules were helpful, but only to a point. There were several times in the game when I was presented with a mechanic, but could not figure out how to implement the mechanic. In addition, outside of one or two of the race/society combos, many of the achievements required to progress your civilization are nearly impossible within the context of the game. The…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is not easy, but with good planning and understanding of your adversary, you can win. A great challenge and feeling of accomplishment upon victory!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little dice placement solitaire game. Not as complicated as I thought it might be. Tutorial is excellent.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Steep learning curve. great game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very enjoyable game. Lot's of dice manipulation mechanics. Although the gameplay a lot more complex, I honestly like this better than One Deck Dungeon.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good adaptation of a solid IRL solo card game. Fair warning - this is based on a real card game, so if you're used to Slay the Spire and the like, don't expect this game to do nearly as much automatically. Also, expect a bit of a rules nuke in the tutorial. Once you're through it though, very fun! (if quite difficult)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I found the concept intriguing but the execution flawed. This might be a case where the physical game is just more fun to play, but I found this game was incredibly (almost needlessly) complicated. The game starts at basically its hardest possible and only goes up from there. It's got a very poor tutorial and never before have I just felt pure frustration right from the start. It might be good, but I give up. If I can't even see the glimmer of fun to be had I don't even want to try. It's one…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't tell whether this game has a very steep learning curve or is just poorly balanced, but either way, it isn't particularly fun. Most of the time, the gameplay feels less like making progress and more like slowly drowning. Unless you're a particular kind of masochist, give this one a miss.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thru too much at me during the trial. No gradual increasing of difficulty just a half dozen complex systems. Refunded
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun - takes a bit to learn and strategy guides are hard to come by but learning to win semi-consistently was rewarding. Plays very well as 1 player making it perfect "board game" for Steam.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is like a knockoff of the excellent game Dice Tribes: Ambitions, but this one has better graphics, instead of being fun to play
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overwhelming (joke) (good) (kind of real) If you find One Deck Dungeon interesting, this feels like One Deck Dungeon had a child with Sentinels of the Multiverse, really interesting.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is tough at times, but you'll need to plan ahead if you want to win. This is a very fun and challenging card game; a couple of rounds had spiked my anxiety just from how close I actually was to losing. If you like card games that have a balanced luck-to-skill ratio, with a sci-fi spin, this is perfect for you! I might just buy the physical game to enjoy it in all of its glory.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cannot recommend One Deck Galaxy, due to a mixture of personal taste and general issue with the game. There are, in escalating order, three critical issues I have with the game: 1) The game feels over-complicated, especially when it comes to the Adversaries. Complexity isn't necessarily a bad thing - 4x titles like Stellaris or Endless Space thrive on interlocking systems that form the basis of their mechanics. The problem is that One Deck Galaxy is not a 4x game; it is, in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent puzzle dice chucker. Alien player and antagonist combos radically change how the game is played for excellent replay-ability.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game kinda reminds me of Sprit Island but with dice instead of decks of cards. There are decks of cards. But its mostly dice and in space. Its very very hard! Watchout! THis game is solo and you can have another player to help out.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice stategy concept with difficult learning curve and a tutorial to make it easier to understand. After playing the game a few times, I got the hang of it. Once it prevented me to upgrade a level when I thought I had the right requirements. I don 't know if it's a glitch or that I did not understand the requirement. Overall: Nice game with great strategy potential. Recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun but complicated game, with a lot of moving pieces. Thankfully the in-game tutorial does a great job of introducing concepts one by one and giving you the information you need to understand each. This is the first board game adaptation I've played where I hadn't played the original game beforehand, so I was very pleased with how quickly I could learn the mechanics - even if I still struggle with facing the more difficult adversaries. Compared to One Deck Dungeon, there's a lot more…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Being honest I bought this game for the art... Too confusing and complex for me to enjoy it personally, I can see there is a good game here but its not for me. If you dislike puzzle games, this game is probably not for you either.
