It's alright, but unlocks are very slow and the one thing that makes me give this a thubms down is that has an inherent doom-timer that foces you to complete every match ASAP or you will just die and there is nothing you can do against it. Just takes away all the fun. It's also broken, in that in some missions you have to survive for 9 turns but it scales so fast you are basically doomed automatically. Not sure if …

been playing on Steam Deck and it works like a charm. Super smooth, no hiccups. so far I’ve completed two planets and yeah… I’m weirdly attached to my tiny space clones now. highly recommend if you're into turn-based, chill but strategic games with just the right amount of sci-fi chaos.

(Review edit after 100 hours) I have more than 1000 hours in Slay the Spire and played many other roguelike deckbuilders. I am a sucker for the genre. Clonizer is definitely my favorite deckbuilder right now. Ascension (CEP) difficulty increases feel great and brings a new type of challenge in every step. I become a better player in every run I fail. I think after learning the basics Slay the Spire becomes just a …

This is such a satisfying game that I love to keep in my rotation. The UI sounds, the sound effects, the music, the cute Clonees, the cute aliens, the funny dialogue and characters; heck it's even fun to just click buttons. I feel rewarded in everything that I do in this game. There are so many ways to play and to challenge yourself. I love the little things, like seeing the Goodies dangle in the same way dice on a …

Clonizer has a unique blend of deckbuilding and (light) 4X mechanics. From what I've seen so far there seems to be a solid variety of viable builds and systems to experiment with. It's a thinky, boardgame'y but chill game, though some missions may be more challenging depending your deck composition. It runs great on steam deck, but has no controller keybindings or even keyboard shortcuts for that matter. I hope the …

Players who liked Clonizer talk about unique mix of deckbuilding and hex-based tactics; those who didn't talk about slow unlock progression feels like a slog. Which matters more to you?

Not sure if that was playtested at all. Just an unfun game mechanism.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played 2.2 hours when I realized I didn't think I enjoyed this too much. It's certainly well made, unique, creative and has a lot going for it. Perhaps it will be perfect for some people. However, there isn't really any metaprogression and all the unlocks and achievements either aren't very meaningful or exciting. If you like achievement hunting purely for achievements, you might enjoy it more. I tried to get my money's worth from it, but just didn't hit the spot as far as the fundamental…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel bad because this looks great, and I feel like there was a lot of good work balancing/creating it but, it is just so boring and slow, like dreadfully slow and bland and by the time a build comes online the game is over or you lose at the end because you never got any good trinkets or buildings. The variety of decks is as plain as 2 cards being different.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone who loves map-based games like Civilization and EU4, card games have also had a special place for me from time to time. They combine this love beautifully and immerse the player into a generic world. It's definitely an experience worth trying.Thank you.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played Nightmare Kart on stream, made by @b0tster.yeag.gay cleared the run once. Hella fun game if you like those old school kart games.

neutral · AI labelView post →I usually get bored with types of games like this since it is easy to find op combinations and go with them, but this is not the case with this one. I can see myself trying different types of card combinations and see where the rng leads me with different types of planets and difficulty settings. It is a must try in the genre.

neutral · AI labelView post →Fun little deckbuilder that I had my eyes on for a while. I played the demo back at nextfest and was impressed with the mechanics. In Clonizer you work for CLONPO, a company that specializes in cloning technology. Cloning has become a widespread concept across the galaxy and CLONPO is always looking for planets that contain "Dupe", the substance needed to create clones. Unfortunately mass cloning also created a large amount of defective clones, so called "Faultees". This have become a constant…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if you like slay the spire, you might like this. 3 hours in and i like it. Over 30 hours in and I love it. Runs last an hour or so. Game play is card drafting, events(result of previous choices shown in game), shops, and objective based strategy on 7 hex maps per run(the last being a boss).

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best roguelike deckbuilder hands down! It strikes a perfect balance between the exploration vibes of CIV games and the strategy of deckbuilding. The art is adorable, and everything feels super satisfying! It's super polished and a blast to play
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Clonizer, developed by Juicy Plume and published by Rogue Duck Interactive, is a refreshingly inventive blend of turn-based strategy, roguelike deckbuilding, and base-building mechanics, all wrapped in a quirky sci-fi aesthetic. It carves out its own niche within the crowded indie strategy genre by embracing a cheerful, cartoonish visual style and mixing lighthearted humor with genuinely thoughtful gameplay. At its core, Clonizer puts the player in command of a team of “Clonees,” bio-engineered…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Making progress, yay!! 🥳 Still digging through all art that I've done for Clonizer. The posts are coming together nicely so far 🤞 Next step: pick through all the cards and Goodies to showcase. #gameart #artstation
neutral · AI labelView post →This is a pretty unique take on the rogue-lite, deckbuilding genre. It's fun. As with all games in this genre, I wish there was more. That being said I think you can get your money's worth out of the $15. It's an enjoyable experience. There's two main "factions" and each of those has at the base "three" builds it seems at first glance. Trying to optimize those or make amalgamations of them is interesting. It's pretty fun, pretty casual, and yeah. Well worth it.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a pretty neutral review really, but I'm going to put it on the recommend side because I enjoyed it for a while and I can see there being a place for it, for the right kind of person or the right kind of time. For me it's not really that, because the very slow unlock progress and general lack of variety makes it a bit of a slog to play. If you were stuck only being able to afford one game for a month, like a kid in the eighties, then this would be a great pick because you easily *could*…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Card system is too poor
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →FANTASTIC GAME! 10/10.. fun deck builder rouge lite; easy to learn; quick runs. if your into that just pull the trigger and buy it. hope the devs keep updating, cause this can stay fresh for a looong time. If the devs read this, get this on switch so i can play on the go.... pro tip- Miracle Legumes upgraded 4 or 5 times..........
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not for me plays realllly slow n kinda boring with such low numbers even the start feels just flat
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have tons of question about game and myself. What happened the clonees that I left on those wild planets what happened to the planets that I destroyed all the life forms in it and the big question why did I kill just a lonely friend-seeker weird bombardino alieno that wants to be friend? WHAT AM I?!! WHAT!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loving this game, thank you developers! A good mixture of different elements from all my favourite roguelites :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not really into card games usually, but the visuals looked so good I had to try it. Totally recommend it if you're into card games. And even if you're not—it’s actually super fun, worth a shot.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Slay the Spire mechanics with the same replayability meets hex tactics. Well done, tons o fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone who has little experience with turn-based card games like this, I thought I would get bored quickly, but when I started playing, I found myself traveling from planet to planet fighting. It may seem simple at first but as you progress, I can tell you how important the card variations are and how things get more complicated. I also have to say that I couldn't beat the final boss on my first try. It's a very enjoyable and fluid game that also has a very cute theme and awesome gameplay.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’ve been playing for 4 hours, and the first thing I can say is, this is one of the games that’s clearly made with love, and it has an awesome theme. I haven’t played this genre much before, but it’s really easy to get into and super fun. Definitely worth giving a shot.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What might appear on the surface to be yet another Sci-Fi Slay the Spire clone, is actually pretty unique. You are tasked with taking your Clonizer ship from planet to planet in order to conquer the planets by completing unique quests on each one. The game's main gimmick is that your ship can spawn a near endless supply of little grunt clones you can use to both explore the planet as well as bop its indigenous hostile fauna. While your clones are pretty disposable, your Clonizer ship is not,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute, chill, and a nice way to spend some time. It was my first time playing a game like this genre, and it honestly exceeded my expectations. I’m into it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun game. It has a good amount of variety and depth, without feeling overwhelming. Works great on the Steam Deck. There's no controller support, but using the trackpad works well and feels natural.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Video: https://youtu.be/8xLXe_YBi2Q I received a free key back in 2024, and played it a few times. I'm not particularly good at this. Maybe it's because internally I want to be attached to the clones and keep them alive. But, maybe I also make terrible choices when it comes to deckbuilding. But, in the almost 2 hours I've played I can say it's a really cute and wholesome deckbuilder. You've got your clones, upgrades, all kinds of cards you can use, a nice variety in the missions, and a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely check Clonizer out! Such a great game! DW and Clonizer actually came from the same place and emerged from the theme of Clones!
positive · AI labelView post →I've also worked on Clonizer with @ahsoo.bsky.social a little bit. I specifically worked on polishing and adding even more game juice to the visuals Can't wait for Clonizer's release! ⬇️ Play ⬇️ store.steampowered.com/app/2449450/...
neutral · AI labelView post →It's a really fun game with huge potential but there is no motivation for replaying once you win. There are some achievements you can do if you feel like trying to meet the specific conditions but there is no accession levels and there doesn't feel much like point to unliocking more planets or cards when it's the same run over and over again you've already won
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A varied, smart roguelite. Each mission is slightly different, and the deck building is fairly intuitive.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I hesitated a little bit on this one, purchased on sale. It's a great game! Could use a demo, might bring more sales.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun take on a roguelike deckbuilder meets hex strat game. The art / humor are surprisingly good and there's a lot of charm in the package. The main issue is that runs are a bit short and a bit too samey (which are two sides of the same problem). The shortness means you can't get into really 'interesting' decks... which means that most decks develop in generally similar ways... which reduces the randomness and makes runs feel very similar. Hoping that the devs continue to add to solid base.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wowwwww I actually lose track of time playing this game. It's been a hot minute since I felt that way. I play a *lot* of games and it's pretty hard to hook me. This was not even on my wishlist? I grabbed it in a bundle and am so glad I did. Really cool ideas and well executed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty fun game so far. Tutorial is okay, not very in-depth given the amount of mechanics available. It is not overly complicated, but the amount of actions & combinations you can take make the decisions and planning substantial enough. Nice sound & graphics. (Easy mode) First run I had no idea what I was doing, but still got to the boss. 2nd run I got a different boss with a better build and won, so that was cool. I do wish the runs were a bit longer though since the scaling is kinda…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just downloaded and couldn’t stop playing for the last 2 hours. Even though I’m new to deck-building games, I had a blast. The mechanics are smooth, the graphics are clean. 10/10 would exploit tiny space clones again. Clonizer taught me that moral ambiguity is just another card in the deck. Buy it. Play it. Regret nothing.

neutral · AI labelView post →It is a well-crafted strategy game, both in terms of gameplay and visuals. It is a game that you can play by enjoying and feeling chill. If you're into this kind of games, Clonizer is definitely worth checking out.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been waiting for this game for so long and it did NOT disappoint. After Slay the Spire, I couldn’t find a good card deck-builder ----until this one. I really recommend it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is good for kids to get into turn-based strategic game. The graphic is nice with no violence. Game mechanic is not complicate to understand. This game has a lot of re-playable because you'll unlock new card, new quest, and new bosses along the way. I manage to defeat 2 bosses after 4 runs on easy. It'll take around 1 hour after you know how to play. This game based on controlling the field. if you know how to move fast, you'll have a lot of advantages. Some cards are easy to use,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a reluctant yes for me. I had a bit of fun but I feel like progression and deck building mechanics are pretty lacking. Apart from this I can't find any glaring flaws. I like the animation, graphics and sound design yet I have to force myself to boot it again. Perhaps it's not my cup of tea which doesn't mean it's a bad game.
