Pyrene is a deckbuilding roguelike: build decks from cards you get along the journey then navigate grid-based card dungeons. Basically you move your hero card across the board to defeat enemies on contact, place support cards strategically, manage health/resources and pray for RNJessus.
Great art style and high replayability <3

The game style is surprisingly complex and requires a lot of thinking ahead.

I wish there was a more nuanced rating in Steam. I unlocked every character and completed the story and village.
This was a cute game, original mechanics, interesting characters and play styles but ultimately very poorly balanced.

Dodge is incredibly overpowered, as it avoids all combat damage AND combat debuffs and can be triggered by basic components like sleeping or using abilities. So each run either killed me in the first zone, or made me so powerful I could ignore most of the battles as I farmed resources. Well, I also died at least once to each new enemy and curse mechanic as I learned how they worked. There's a wide variety but... I don't even remember being challenged by any of the bosses.

Cute, but needs half of the talismans and relics removed and the rest rebalanced.

For example, 2nd playthrough with the shape changer I bought a relic that triggered rest when using an ability. And another that gave me dodge when I rested. This nullified the uniqueness of the shapeshifting abilities (as they reset on rest), but let me play each battle until I was done farming resources. Much like with every other character. If you can't get dodge, then frost is nearly as powerful. The only limiter for most of my characters was the number of "basic" rests I could do which "usually" bypass shields when they cost health. There's two characters (at least?) that _by default_ don't even have those limitations.

There's a comprehensive challenge system and the ability to fine-tune many options, but I expect they will not adequately target the semi-reliable paths to godhood.
