This card is useful but not amazing, so is it worth combining it to dig for something better from the next tier? Do you take an unwanted high-level card so you can combine it later, or do you reserve the deck space for something you might actually use? Oh this card could change everything, should I pivot my build? Do I boost my Luck stat to improve my card drops in the long term, or pump damage to survive right now? My favourite character has the ability to sacrifice half your health to draw an extra card and gain 2 energy, and I cannot resist a risk/reward proposition like that. Then after you make the decisions and end your turn, you get a short break to sit back and enjoy watching damned souls burst.

One huge change with the ‘Synergy’ update is that you can now pick two starting structures from all you’ve unlocked, and they’ll start at level 2. Previously, I’d come to restart runs if I couldn’t draw (or craft) structures I wanted on the first turn, especially in the punishing Endless mode. A handful of new cards encourage mixing element types more too, though you will still need to find them. I’ve dipped back to check out new possibilities and ah sure, I’ll play a few more hours before I’ll hand in my notice.
Heretic’s Fork is out nowon Steam. I would recommend considering the discounted bundle which also includesthe excellent arcade Survivors ‘em up, Brotatobut that game scratches an idle itch so deep in me that I recentlyforced myself to uninstall it, so maybe don’t. Heretic’s Fork is also soldon its websitethrough Xsolla, which I can’t say I have any experience with.
