Stacklands

good game, but i want individual save files.

This game is not peak, but boy is it fire. Just PLEASE AVOID looking up recipes, it ruins most of the game. As this game is about survival, not copy - pasting. TRUST me. I learned it the hard way. Also buy the DLC's they're fun. Plus it's cheap.

Stacklands is a card game. A village-building card game. A peaceful, cosy card game. Until it isn't.
What starts off as a quaint and soothing experience — stacking carrots, raising chickens, organising your food like a god-fearing homemaker — quickly turns into chaos incarnate. One minute you're admiring your neat little farms and hoarding 47 apples, and the next, you're battling demons with a militia of naked villagers and wondering how your dog ended up wearing dragon-scale armour, dual-wielding swords, and mining gold with a boomerang.
You can sell poop. You can hoard poop. You can sell corpses. Or have 18 of them clogging your board. You might accidentally summon something unholy while trying to cook an omelette. Or lose your entire family to a goblin. Or miss the gym because you just had to finish your moonstone mine before sunrise.
It’s like solitaire and a roguelike went on a camping trip, got attacked by chickens, and accidentally invented capitalism. And somehow, I keep coming back. For the stacking. For the sheds. For the village. For the dog. For vengeance.
Pros:
- Sell poop.
- Dogs can mine.
- Chicken-induced PTSD.
- Accidentally cult.
- Rage poetry optional but encouraged.
- Stack cards. Stack dreams. Stack regrets.
Cons:
- The travelling cart isn’t called a traveling card. >:(
- Emotional damage when an enemy knocks over your board.
- My baby keeps dying and becoming another corpse.
Final Thoughts:
You don’t play Stacklands. You enter it. You surrender to it. You become one with the deck.
Also, someone please tell me what to do with all this gold!!!???

Fun game that you can just lose yourself in. There is some need for forethought and strategy but not all too much. Achievements are super easy to get and are not locked behind DLCs in order to get "perfect game". It's a simple game that allows a good amount of fun and the art style (one may call simplistic) suits the general feel of the game. An interesting twist on resource management/crafting games

It is a fun game but it lacks in, well... Being fun I guess. It feels like I am clocking in on a 9-5 job because you have to constantly move your cards and villagers every second and you have no time to relax and you have to pause the game very often in order to think and reorganize your cards. The micromanaging is too much and I wish there was some form of automation and storage of more of the cards so it is not chaotic all of the time. It feels more stressful then fun. The only reason I gave this a positive review is because it is unique and is fun for a bit until you get a few hours into a run and it just is not fun anymore. If you want a game that will entertain you for about 10 hours before it gets shelved then this game is for you because it is cheap. But if you are looking for a fun long-term game then this is definitely not for you.

It's fun for a while, then it gets way to Chaotic for my tastes

this game is a great game and the apples carried me. apple good. apple great.
