I finally did a whole run in Fame or Folly đ here is my silent playthrough video, hope youâll find it useful:
I previously complained about animation speed / waiting time. I think you nailed it this time, animations felt satisfying and I did not have the urge to skip/speed up. The only UI annoyance I had was that buttons did not change visually when they were interactable or not - mostly Draw card button and the one after round summary.
I played on a higher difficulty (faster target score scaling) and I found it adequately challenging throughout the mid-game. Early game I was mostly fishing for good cards/banners, which I think is fine, deckbuilders need some setup. Starting from around 12k target score I felt that I need to actually work for it, I started buying and using props and paying attention a bit more. This part of the game I liked best, unfortunately it did not last until the end.
It took me 1.5 hour to beat the game and I felt like it was way too long. I felt ready to wrap things up more or less 40 minutes in. After 1 hour mark I donât think I made any changes to my banners and core 6 cards, I kept using the same gimmicks until the end and they worked.
QoL suggestion: add âDraw allâ button - there were multiple occasions when I wanted to draw my whole deck because I knew I fired enough miscreants to not worry about the outrage. Drawing cards one by one felt a bit tedious at this point.
Overall my biggest issue at this point is game length - I think it could really shine at shorter playtime, I could see myself playing it for 30-40 minutes to chill out, but as it is right now I feel it drags out.
