Scary deckbuilding hidden gems
These scary hidden gems all ask you to shape a small deck into fighting combos and test it in tense card battles against monsters and bosses. In Shroom and Gloom you handle exploring and combat with separate decks in mushroom tunnels, while THE SPIRIT LIFT leaves you guiding teens through a hotel full of ghosts where dying turns back time, and Death Howl sends you across a mournful spirit realm mixing toxins and offerings. You draft, upgrade and trim cards after each fight, so every run plays out differently.
