Cards Weaver
A downloadable game for Windows
Locked in an interdimensional prison, your only hopes to escape are powerful cards, that can weave worlds back together.
Use them to navigate this twisted dimension, fight mutated horrors and rescue fellow prisoners!
Along the way, you will gain more powerful cards, and obtain mystical power ups.
Will that be enough, to defeat this prison's overlord and finally break free?
Cards Weaver is a Deck-Building Rogue-Like game, where you battle foes with a deck composed by cards obtained during a single playthrough.
The twist is that YOU get to build the dungeon!
During exploration, or as a reward for battling enemies, you receive a special kind of cards called Map Cards, which when used will generate a new room for you to explore!
You can place this room adjacent to already existing rooms, and literally compose your own personal dungeon to explore.
On top of that, you will also find another kind of cards known as Resource Cards, which are used to interact with the world around you!
Depending on the element of said cards, various effects can be achieved, so be sure to try them all!
You can also use them in combat ;)

I stumbled upon this amazing game, and I'm thrilled to have discovered such a gem! One of the things that truly impressed me is the level of deck customization available. During my third playthrough, I found myself brainstorming various builds and strategies, which added a fantastic layer of depth to the gameplay.
What I love most about this game is its social aspect. It's not just a solitary experience; you can strategize and collaborate with friends in real life, seeking their advice and assistance to tackle the challenges that lie ahead.
Cards Weaver keeps you on your toes! Every action matters, and you have to be incredibly cautious because the game responds instantly to any mistakes, doling out just consequences. It's an exhilarating and immersive experience that pushes you to improve and adapt your approach.
Replayability is a big plus! I've completed the game multiple times, and each run felt refreshingly different from the previous one. The dynamic elements and the deck you can experiment keep you engaged, ensuring that no two playthroughs are ever the same.
The game's difficulty level is masterfully balanced. It's not a cakewalk, nor is it frustratingly difficult. Instead, it provides a satisfying challenge that keeps you hooked while avoiding any unfair mechanics.
And let's talk about the style! The game's visuals, music, and overall presentation create a captivating atmosphere that draws you into its world and adds to the overall enjoyment.
On a scale of 1 to Pizza Tower (which is a benchmark impossible to surpass!), I'd rate this game a solid 9. It's rare to find a game that ticks so many boxes for an exceptional gaming experience. If you're looking for a game that offers strategic depth, social interaction, and limitless replayability, this one's a definite winner!
Thank you! This review is actually really inspiring. We know we can't surpass Pizza Tower because in this game there is neither pizza nor tower, but we can add it in the next update...
Thx for the suggestion :O
Pretty cool stuff indeed. Love the Slay the Spyre vibes!
