Draw & Slay
About the Game
This is a prototype for an idle card-based RPG, loosely inspired by MineCards. The core gameplay is simple: draw a card, and your character acts based on its effect.
I'm a game programmer, and this is my first attempt at making an indie game. I’m not sure whether this prototype has the potential to grow into a full game, so I’d love to hear your feedback!

Well I kept playing til I maxed everything so I guess it's pretty good haha. Nice work!
Happy to hear that!
The game concept is pretty cool. However it felt pretty boring to me at current stage. I think mostly because of the lack of challenge. I have no reason to fight stronger monsters even if they drop more gold as it's pretty easy to obtain very strong cards at the beginning. You could unlock stronger cards with stronger monsters or you could introduce player level and experience. Every enemy can give you XP only to the certain player level.
I also don't like that shield resets on enemy death AND deck shuffle. I think you should keep one of these OR always shuffle deck after enemy death.
Powerful stuff should be unlocked progressively. Makes sense!
Very Nice game, very stable, well made.
Glad you think so! Let me know if you have more feedback
Upgrades should list how much more they add.
Special attacks should deal the damage they do +1 so you don't have to keep a basic attack if you don't want.
These changes will make the game much more convenient. Thanks!
Would love to see more polish and maybe scail the attacks based on characters stats, and give them a % of damage based on stats
Yeah. I’m also thinking about how to add more depth to the numbers
