About This Game Not your typical deckbuilderCreating the perfect deck of cards is important, but this will only take you so far. Every card has a calculation based on your character stats. This will determine how powerful the effects will be. Buy equipment and increase your stats to get the best out of your cards. How will you bring out the true potential of your deck?Features11 classes with individual decks, starting equipment and powers ~350 playable cards that change with your stats7 equipment slots to fill that can change the course of your run~70 events that could help or hinder you56 monsters with different decks and unique powersUnlockable progression as you play. Unlock new classes, cards, equipment, events and monsters.Randomized hex map for each new journeyCards based off character statsThe cards in your deck are affected by your stats. Each card has its own formula which uses your stats to determine how powerful the effect is. To raise your stats you must equip yourself with items and you will also have chances to gain stats via events. Some cards are stronger at the start of a run but fall off in effect later on, while others grow exponentially through your run. How will you build your deck?Procedural mapsEvery time a new journey is started a random map is generated, containing random terrain types, enemy camps, events and cities with their own exhaustible shops. As you make your way through the map, monsters will grow in difficulty and you will find better cards and equipment. However, as you explore, The Lost will slowly take over the map destroying cities and events in its wake. Exploration makes you stronger, but as the undead spread it serves to empower your foe. What path will you take to destroy The Lost?Knowledge mixed with discoveryEach unique monster has a set custom deck. Learn what effects and cards a monster has to figure out the best strategy to defeat them. Players can see the entire map from the start. All camps, cities and events are visible to optimize your route to ensure your success. Each event presents a series of choices with set outcomes. Learn when certain choices make sense, and when they should be avoided through experience.A compendium of all the equipment, monsters, and cards you have come acrossOptional choice to show card equations 7aa9394dea Title: The Last HexGenre: Indie, RPG, Strategy, Early AccessDeveloper:That Indie StudioPublisher:That Indie StudioRelease Date: 10 May, 2019 The Last Hex Crack And Patch File Download Roguelike-CCGs are my favourite genre, and i have tried lots of different iterations so far, from which none did really catch me by now...My first impression with The Last Hex, though, is good.The game is done with so much love and passion, that it shows and feels in every detail:Very, very beautiful aesthetics, a relaxing soundtrack, very though-through and deep mechanics (including equipment and stats, events with random outcomes, and card rarities), a great UI, and a lot of replayability and stuff to unlock!One mechanic i do find especially remarkable, is that all cards have their unique formula, to determine their strenght, ranging from cards that have great Initial power but little influence from stats, to cards that start weak but can grow immensely, and everything between-brilliant!Also, the devs are friendly and active, and the game is still EA, which means, that it will only get better over time...Of course, as with all games in Early Access, the game is still work-in-progress, with little content and being pretty rough around the edges, but what has been achieved so far, is both impressive and enjoyable, and i am confident, that this game will take a special place among its competitors, once it is fully fleshed out.Absolutely recommended!. The Last Hex,i bought this game and played 10 hours on it and realised my sunday is over. Which is a good thing because that means i enjoyed it !If you like games such as Slay The Spire and Darkest Dungeon, you'll most likely like this aswell.Game has active Devs on their Discord "That Indie Studio", which is always a great thing.I might've given it a higher score if it had animated characters like Slay The Spire or Darkest Dungeon to give it a more 'visual appealing' effect but hopefully they will add this in the future whilst having room for additional content, like daily runs, leaderboard, different modes (infinite dungeon?) might be nice to have aswell.Give it a try ! 8\/10 *as of current version 7.8.8*. Combo of Fate Hunters and Slay The Spire, which means I will be playing this for untold hours. Oh, and Monster Slayers.Fresh entry into the genre even though some cards feel exactly from previous games.Replay Value City.Very well designed, although the RNG\/balance is not scaled fairly.Addictive. Had to pry myself away from PC on launch day in order to get back to work. Should be a real winner.TENSE.Art is passable. Some font is small or gets hidden.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.. Slay the Spire meets Binding of Isaac!Just know that whatever deck you decide to go with, you can, and probably will, find that one miniboss that counters your build and sends you back to hex one.Failure is fun . . . right?. A deckbuilder with stronger RPG aspects and a map you're allowed to freely move around on? Yes, please!After you choose from one of the classes (3 to begin with, 11 once you unlock them all), you have to build your card deck but also your equipment and stats.Speaking of stats, your cards scale depending on your stats (Power\/Arcana\/Expertise) and a specific formula assigned to each card. So a card can start weaker than the rest, but lategame scale higher because you raised the related stat. Or you can get very strong cards early game that scale poorly for lategame.Do note that although many cards have specific stats to increase their effect, they don't have any class restrictions. That's right, classes are more of a starting template and all the cards are available to everyone. So you want to create a warrior deck with some arcana cards combos? Go right ahead. The game let's you go wild.Difficulty-wise, so far the game is constantly killing me but always because I wasn't paying attention or rushed ahead.There's a very large quantity of unlocks to get as you play. More cards, monsters, classes, etc.I'll have to come back to this review to write more, but for now I just want to go play more of this excellent game. Just know that if you're a fan of deckbuilding games and RPGs in general, it is highly recommended and it will easily give you hours of entertainment.That's all for now!Shout-out to Esty8nine on Twitch for showcasing the coolest indie games around. (That's how I found the game.) Stop it! My wallet can't take this abuse!. Even though it's early access, it has plenty of content to be worth the price.It's a fun roguelite deckbuilder, and will replace Slay the Spire for me for the time being.. I admit, at first I was put off by this game. I thought it shallow and lacking, but I was completely wrong. At first you only have abilities to do direct damage or provide armor for yourself which blocks damage to you when its your opponents turn. So seemed fairly simple. Plus you couldn't see what your enemy was going to do, like in Slay the Spire. However I am now loving the fact that not seeing what they can do is part of the core gameplay (though they are testing an option you can enable to allow you to see some aspects of it). Items and Spell exist in the game that let you see abilities moves if needed. But generally you just learn what each mob does, like oh its that mob, ok it's going to play these type of abilities so I should focus on defense or offense accordingly. I started to unlock more spells and items and suddenly there were a lot of buffs, debuffs, and spell interactions I had to focus on, what I thought shallow as actually just a way to ease you into it. You will lose quite a bit, but you learn as you go, unlocking more spells, items, and even classes. Each class feels unique so far, tho I only have four at the moment, but the Elementatlist I unlocked is very different form the Wizard. Plus even though its early access I feel it has a ton of content, as far as I can tell all the classes are already implemented, most if not all of the spells\/items are in the game (I am guessing dev will add more as they see fit) but it feels feature complete. Unlike other deck builder games where you only get one class to start with till they add more.I recommend big time to those who like the genre.. Refunding for now. I will keep my eye on this one.I will consider re-purchasing later, but for now, it's just not refined enough for me to bet $15 on it.. Game is massively unbalanced. You get a ton of "choices" which are of the quality "Card that deals 10 damage for 1 Mana" vs. "Card that deals 44 damage and has 2 bonus effects". Certain loot drops are also far above others which utterly trivialize a run. And since you can get these from the first area on, the best strategy is to camp the pre-boss 1 section, wait until you get offered a busted card\/equipment and steamroll from there. Most of the time though, you will not pick cards since about 80% of the card pool is either garbage or meant for a different class.This game takes the good of card building games and combines it with the terrible aspect of MMOs where you repeatedly grind crappy enemies for scraps until you get the cards worth playing. And there aren't many of those.Not recommended, needs a serious design rework before its worth playing.. I like the concept. I wish the classes went beyond the normal archetypes (wizard, thief, warrior). I like the concept of working through a world map and advancing through that. My primary issue is with card balance - there are too many instances where cards are "better" in every single situation. For instance a mage starts with 2 different 1 cost cards that provide defense - the difference being that mage armor gives you 31 defense and Wall of Force gives you 14. While the higher defense card is technically an uncommon card, it is in the starting deck. There are zero situations where you might want to use the lower card over the other. Why give a mage "sudden strike" when he\/she will never, ever choose that card over magic missile which does more damage and utilizes the mage's primary stat? The same goes for the warrior - he has 2 different defense cards, both common, both cost 1, but 1 gives a lower defense and uses his secondary stat, while the other is a higher defense using the primary stat. Again - this leads to zero decision making. There are no situations in which the lower defense card will be better for that player than the higher defense card. At that point, it's a luck game - you are just always hoping for the higher damage\/higher defense card. Perhaps there are more trade-offs\/decisions to be made at higher levels, but honestly the card balance issues I've experienced in the early game have made me uninterested in putting much more time into the game.
