Conceptually, this game is a solid fusion of genres

Conceptually, this game is a solid fusion of genres. It takes the mechanics of Kingdom - right down to the walls - and adds a fast-paced deckbuilder to it. That said, fans of Kingdom are unlikely to enjoy this. Kingdom is a calm scenic ride punctuated by moments of excitement. But Ratropolis is constantly vying for your attention, needing to click buildings with cooldowns and play your cards as fast as you can. It takes from its Korean roots in this regard (Starcraft UMS players will know what I mean.) While this game isn't for everyone, it is for some one. And I would normally be one of those some ones... Everything I said above is a positive thing for the right person, and to me, Kingdom was too easy! So why the negative review? Balance. Some builds are just absurdly strong (like infinite $) and others are laughably weak. The result is this promising game is lacking variety in practice, and the more cards you unlock the harder it is to pull off anything coherent. Game design is hard. I applaud the attempt. I just wish it was done better.

Worth every hour

Hey if you are here because you like slay the spire, monster train, griftlands, whatever, you know what im talking about, then get this. Don't listen to these salty reviewers, the game is great. No, it is not impossibly difficult. No, you wont ever have to restart due to bad hands. no, the characters are not overly similar, each character has a vastly different playstyle. If you're curious then get it. this is one of those games where you're just going to have to get it yourself. I hate the idea of wasting money, normally I dont recommend games just because I like them, but this one just has the fundamentals of a great game.
