Venture into None Shall Intrude, a roguelite deck-builder with tile-based combat where you become a powerful Raid Boss. Epic battles, intricate strategies, and the ever-present threat of heroic challengers seeking to vanquish your reign. Will you conquer all or fall to valiant heroes?
Well, once again there is an early access game without EA disclosure. Because there is no way to explain how a full release game can have this many bugs and be that imbalanced.
- You are not a raid boss. It sure feels great to have 50k hp - until you realise that the heroes deal 5-15k per turn and have 50k hp themselves. Even the heroless armies consist...
✔ it introduces some unique mechanics (literally you can have different mechanics depending on your life percentage)
✔ fast paced, fun for a while

In terms of art, does this project use AI? I can't tell. Loads of stuff looks AI gen'd, but AI is also sampled heavily off of asset...
A great game with a unique spin. They definitely nailed the "raid boss" feeling, and the tile/element interactions are quite cool. You get extremely overpowered in this game, so it's a big bonus that they added additional difficulty options.

Enjoyed this a lot.
+ Complex combo system to keep fights interesting and engaging
+ Varied card types and cool spells
+ Not too hard to learn the basics
- A little slow to start
- Some other mode, "Project Unknown" or whatever, keeps begging for my attention and I don't care about that at all
TLDR: Highly recommended for strategy players who like turn...
