Gnomes United
Our caps are sharp, our confidence is deathproof, and we’re ready to fight for our Freedom! In Gnomes United, you have to gather a squad of gnomes and fight against the oppressors and tyrants who torment your people.
Gnomes United is a traditional roguelike card game, but your cards are gnomes, your little bros. On your dangerous way you free your people and build a squad deck. You are constantly being hunted and Freedom will not be easy to obtain.
Your gnome brothers are not so harmless – there are clans and gangs of gnomes ready to pucnh a villain in the face in their own way. The player chooses which gnomes join his squad and this will determine his tactics in battles.
It will be difficult. The player should expect not only dangerous battles where the advantage on the side of the enemy, but also quests with difficult choices that will impact the end of the adventure.
Gnomes United is a dark and ironic tale. It’s a story about gnomes whose motto is:
“Without friends, I’m a little bit, but with friends, a LOT!”

This is what happens when Slay the Spire, Darkest Dungeon, and a fairy tale fever dream collide at high speed.
I didn’t expect much. But turns out, managing your sausage rations while commanding a wagon of tiny anarchists through cursed forests is… oddly therapeutic?
Combat is tight. Positioning matters. So does resource planning. It’s not just a comedy game - there’s legit strategy here. The variety of cards and interactions surprised me. You’ll fail a few runs early on, but once you learn to work with modifiers and wagon upgrades, it clicks.
Can’t wait to see what they add next. Highly replayable and refreshingly original.
Would I recommend it? If you've ever wanted to overthrow a fairy tale regime with cards and gnome rage: yes. Yes, you should.

It’s a mix of deckbuilding, tactical battles, and dungeon-crawling, with a fairy-tale-gone-wrong theme. Each run, you build your deck while exploring a randomly generated map, collecting resources, and upgrading your wagon. It is enough of a twist to keep it interesting while keeping the meat and potatoes of card battler in place.
The uniqueness comes from the exploration part, since rather than nodes (that are present in the story mode), you explore the map with resources (food). It’s sort of Roguebook or even Darkest Dungeons-style, although admittedly not that hard. But it’s a fun new layer of the gameplay where you need to search for the boss first and the path to them but you are also free to wander around the map and backtrack to gather more resources/artifacts before moving forward.

The game does not feel finished and still needs some work But it is lots of fun and that is the most important quality a game needs to have. So if you like roguelike deckbuilders and puzzles, i will definitely recommend it!

This game is great! I simply adore the art style, it's fun and dynamic, each card is truly unique, you can easily tell if it's an attack card or a master card, without having to double check the description. The story has an interesting spin, taking the well-known fairy tale characters and putting them in a completely new context.
In terms of gameplay I appreciate that the progression is challenging enough, to not be too easy, but still ultimately doable. It's really fun to build a powerful deck that's amplified by the heros' abilities, so that you can easily slice through the enemies, who seemed impossible to beat at the very beginning. I thoroughly enjoyed this game and hope our little revolutionaries will embark on new adventures in the future!
TLDR: great art style, engaging story, fun gameplay, would recommend

Fun game. Although the game has some minor bugs and some translation issues, it is a pretty finished state. A game I'd say is ready to get out of early acccess if they fix the small stuff. The game was, at times, even challenging for me. That is, until found a good deck and just blew through the stages as if they were nothing. still. It was nice and 50 hours or so for a game I paid 7 euros for or so is great value
