What do players say about FORCED SHOWDOWN?

Easily one of my favorite games of 2016. Forced Showdown has near endless replay value and very fun gameplay. The heroes have their own feel and playstyle which all feel viable/strong. The cards are also more diverse than one would think from this sort of game. There are a ton of different deck types and strategies you could use between all the heroes. And it's all wrapped into a fun progression system that makes getting further into the "shows" even more exciting.

Get it. It's fun.

So, this is going to be a bit of an "early impressions" review, which I dont normally do, but... this game has impressed me so much that I feel like adding to the thumbs-upness that it already has. Not to mention that while complex, the mechanics are easy enough to grasp that I feel I've got a good handle on things here. And to explain a bit about myself, I'm a huge fan of three things: 1, bullet hell games, 2, roguelikes/rogue-lites, and 3, CCGs (or TCGs, whatever you want to call them; games played with collectible cards). Very, very familiar with and fond of all three.

Imagine my surprise when I found a game that smashes all of those three things together.

Imagine even more surprise when I found out that said game actually does it RIGHT. (...)

Randomness adds replayability rather than frustration and just overall a really fun and rewarding game.
