I was really apprehensive to try a rogue-like deck game because I’ve spent hundreds of hours playing Legends of Runeterra. However, after 20 hours of playing Desert Revenant so far and more to come, I can say that it’s a true hidden gem. The developers’ hearts and passion are undeniably evident. Due to the various pathways a player may follow, every run seemed incredibly distinct.
Don’t get me wrong, learning how to play this game is difficult, and you will fail a lot of times. However, once you do, oh my god, the feeling of accomplishment is beyond words; it can only be experienced firsthand. The various combos I was able to complete in this game made me feel quite fulfilled.
For those who genuinely enjoy challenging games as well as card game enthusiasts, I highly recommend this game. Especially after reading the developer’s road plan, I can’t wait to see what the game’s future holds.
