《Sengodai》是一款和风卡牌游戏，玩家需要组建一只由豪怪组成的队伍，以元素能量净化被黑暗侵蚀的大地。

本作场景方面采用了3D体素建模，配合上多彩的配色，观感还是不错的。
游戏玩法以对战的形式展开，敌我双方各有3张豪怪卡牌和多个元素卡牌，可使用后者为豪怪充能，然后催动其净化位于场景中间区域的诅咒之地。
随着回合不断进行，还可以累积宝石，其可用来发动元素之神的技能。

游戏打造了一个类似于《杀戮尖塔》的分支地图，上面分布有各种事件，玩家可自由选择。
相比于大批量爬塔换皮卡牌，本作的这套玩法还是挺有新意的，目前的话感觉上手指引还可以加强一下，期待后续更新。

Collect Yokai-inspired cards (Gokai) and battle them for control of the land in this rougelite deckbuilder! It gives a Yu-Gi-Oh card-battling kind of vibe, where you protect your shrine and destroy the opponent's side for control of the land. Move through randomly generated maps to fight bosses, acquire new cards, and start all over again, stronger than before. At the end of the map, you have the chance to unlock the power of the Gods, if you can make it through!

+Pros+

+ Easy to pick up and fast-paced gameplay, it's easy to play several rounds without realizing how much time goes by. It can be addictive!
+ Customize your deck and upgrade your Gokai cards to advance through the campaign.
+ Randomly generated maps make each run interesting and unpredictable. The unpredictability is both fun and challenging.
+ The style of the cards is appealing and interesting, and the voxel environment and world design are easy on the eyes as well.
+ This game was released in several languages ( English, Spanish, Galician, Catalan, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Russian, Ukrainian, Italian, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brasil), Turkish, and Indonesian), which makes it really accessible to a lot of different audiences.

=Meh=

= The soundtrack is appropriate and unintrusive.
= There are currently 5 God cards (4 that you unlock after finishing a campaign map) and 20 Gokai monsters. The game's description said 20+ Gokai cards, so while there may be plans to expand, the current number is 20. I like what I unlocked so far, and it feels pretty balanced, but I would like to see more.
= Like with most Rougelikes, you will fail initially, which can be frustrating. Each run is a chance to improve, upgrade, and build a better team, so go into it with that mindset, and you'll find it fun, but it can be frustrating or drag at times. Few things are worse than getting defeated on the 20ish level of the map, and you are one or two away from the boss fight, but you must endure!
=The price is reasonable for the game, not too expensive. Especially if you enjoy roguelikes or deckbuilders. It has enough gameplay to keep you occupied for hours.

-Cons-

- My biggest gripe has to be the lack of a clearly defined lore or storyline. Having so many accessible languages is great, but it shouldn't be a trade-off for a lack of a strong written narrative. You have to fill in the blanks and create your own theories, but you never know why you are battling the Gokai, what your purpose or end goal is, and even the lore regarding the Gokai begins and ends at the pictures on the cards. Language accessibility is important and great for a casual game with addictive gameplay like Sengodai, but it can be the difference between a good game and a great game.
- There is a card collection section that would be perfect for adding a few lines of lore to each collected card or God, but at the end of the day, it's just an image. There's no connection or attachment to the Gokai, so while the game is fun to play casually, I don't feel a strong need or desire to collect the Gokai or release the Gods because there's no story or lore to connect them to me.
- There were some technical glitches. When the game first started after I downloaded it, the game window was half off my screen, but a quick game restart helped that, and it only happened the first time I ran the game. There was also an issue with the discard pile number phasing through the cards I could select after winning the round. This wasn't game-breaking, nor did it prevent a card selection, but it was mildly distracting and consistent.
- Steam achievements for campaign mode and card collecting would be a great motivator for players beyond a storyline, but there are no options for Steam Achievements at this time.
- Some rougelike/rougelite gameplay can get repetitive or boring after a while, especially if you hit a block and can't progress as you like (or as fast as you like).


*Summary*

Full disclosure, I did have the great fortune to receive this game for free from the Developer, Tsunoa Games.

I have mixed feelings about this game. I typically enjoy games that have a strong story-rich connection to them. This game isn't that. Some visual cues and characters could be intriguing if you pay attention, but it lacks a narrative that draws players in and makes them attached to Gokai and their world. That's a big gap and missed opportunity in my opinion. The card collection section would especially benefit from a line or two about the lore of each card.
However, what it lacks in a strong narrative, it makes up for with flexible language adaptations and addictive gameplay. It's not something I would play days at a time, but I would play it casually for a few hours at a time, stop when I had my fill, and come back to it now and then. So while I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for story-rich lovers at this point, I did enjoy the game and accept it as it is. It's a good, fun time, strong story or no.

I'd recommend this game to players who enjoy deckbuilders, have the patience for rougelites/rougelikes, appreciate the yokai-inspired monster card designs, or would like to spend time with casual strategy games.
