TLDR: Conjury offers solid deck-building centered on equipment cards, yet lacks diverse roguelike elements for lasting variety. Its unique approach focuses on specific cards shaping strategies. Despite simplicity and shorter gameplay, the game's diverse classes and accessible mechanics justify its $1.99 price tag, offering enjoyable gameplay for its cost.
Did I enjoy it? Yes, Conjury offers a satisfying deck-building experience, although it could benefit from more diverse roguelike elements to enhance its replay value.
Would I come back to it? Certainly. Despite some limitations, the game's accessibility and engaging class mechanics kept me entertained for around 6 hours. Priced at $1.99, it feels like a worthwhile investment.
Full Review: Conjury stands as a solid entry in the deck-building genre, focusing on equipment cards that shape your playthroughs. However, it lacks diverse roguelike elements seen in other titles, which could offer more variety and endless possibilities.
The game's mechanics revolve around specific equipment cards that dictate your strategy. From weapons amplifying damage to shields redirecting enemy attacks, these cards significantly influence gameplay. Yet, the lack of extensive roguelike elements hinders the game's potential for endless engagement.
Navigating the map and encountering enemies to build your deck feels reminiscent of Slay the Spire. Each class provides a unique gameplay experience, significantly altering your approach and allowing previously overlooked cards to shine.
Accessibility is a notable feature, as the game is easy to grasp without complex combos or relics. However, this simplicity limits the creation of elaborate card combinations, with relics mainly focusing on mana, health, or status effects.
While the diverse classes offer distinct gameplay, the game's simplicity occasionally makes it feel shorter than expected. The limited card pool constrains the deck-building experience, and low enemy health pools contribute to swift battles, creating a shorter-than-anticipated gameplay experience.
Despite these limitations, Conjury's $1.99 price tag feels justified, I was easily able to clock in 6 hours of gameplay and did not even complete all of the classes. With five classes and multiple difficulties, it provides decent content for its cost. While lacking extensive roguelike elements, it remains an enjoyable experience worth trying.

Abridged Card Crawl Adventure Review
PROS:
- unique and quirky art style
- varied fantasy soundtrack-detailed sound effects-deeply layered mechanics (status effects, turn mechanics, passive/active bonuses, mixture of win conditions, etc.)
-gameplay is a mixture of Card Thief and Maze Machina with a few added roguelike deck-building tropes (such as adding cards, strengthening cards, receiving passive bonuses, various encounters, etc.)

I've been playing this game since 1.9, and let me tell you, this game is just so addicting to play, even though it gets a bit stale once you've been playing it several times, but it's just so fun to play with various builds for various characters, and just having fun taking down baddies. (Even to those that're annoying to deal with)
👍 Pros: (as of 2.x.x)
1. Controls are fairly simple, so you won't have to fiddle around the control settings to suit your style.

I enjoyed the game because it was both tough and entertaining. Deckbuilding seemed to be just where I needed to be.
The art is fantastic, the gameplay has effectively slaughtered the spire by removing the brakes, and the achievements are enjoyable. However, the lettering is sloppy.
Overall, the game is passable, although it might use some tweaking and enhancement. For the time being, I'll give this game a 2-star rating.

Cool, the detailed breakdown really helps. Deck-building games are my jam.
