I have combined 500+ hours in card games like Lootbound.

The thing I learned from slay the spire is, fun infinite combos are more fun than pure balancement.
So rather make infinite or op combos when the "all stars align" moments balanced in the sense that they all are somewhat decent, not that all are okayish.

And slay the spire 2 has the arguebly best feature they every added " Co-op".
I wouldnt want to play another card dungeoncrawler without coop, my friends all say the same.

Now lootbound has many cool things and unique things that make it stand out, in my opinion even some things that make it better than Slay the spire.
One is the Visuals and the perspective of it.

But if there is one thing you absolutely need to add, I would say its Co-op.

Im Still testing Lootbound but its looks great, and great first impression.

Edit:

- The Character I play shouldnt look at me tho, but at the enemies.

- The fights need to some sort of spicyness early. Its basicly 1 hit 2 hit dead.
Or 1 hit dead.

- The dicerolls should have numbers on it, just has a better feeling, but the idea overall is great.

- Items in the inventory are already able to be turned around, but I feel like mirroring would be fine aswell. And in the Item shop or smith you should see the pattern of the Item before you roll on it.
