For me, if I ever hear “card-based” or “soulslike” I have absolutely no desire to play a game, no matter how many people reccomend it.
I’m also not a huge fan of modern “roguelikes” but I’ve sunk days into nethack and games like that.
Over here playing nothing but deck-builders, rogue-likes, and souls-likes
I dislike how nowadays slay the spire and its ilk is what people assume for the term deck builder instead of multiplayer (usually offline) games like ascension or puzzle strike or dominion
if I’m playing a city builder I don’t want my city building options to be “whatever’s in your deck of cards”
if I’m playing an RPG I don’t want my skills and equipment or whatever to be “a bunch of cards”
if I wanted to play a card game… I’d play a card game
For me it’s too much RNG I don’t feel like I’m in control of what I’m doing. I do not trust in the heart of the cards.
