I thought I liked this game.... but after completing about half, I am super bored. I quit the game after every battle. Deck building is super basic and kinda pointless. No reason to adjust deck after you complete a few maps. The maps are super easy. You can basically just run around with 1 unit and kill everything... Since movement costs a card, you either move one unit many times, or many units 1 time. Easier to …

After 15 hours, I managed to beat all story missions (+ first DLC) with all side objectives complete. EDIT: I've beaten the challenge missions/all achievements (~21.5 hours total now). Still positive/recommended, just revised opinions + additional thoughts.

This deckbuilding game is fun in some areas but mostly frustrating. + challenges are actually fun + has some fun deck. Overall, A good game w/ many game design flaws: - fast forward still slows. - there are so many useless cards. - wasted potential on other decks - RNG (drawing cards and enemy behaviour) - Diagonal and straight only for movement. - unsatisfactory stats of heroes. for completionists, this game is …

Amazing turn based deckbuilder, the thing that stands out the most is how insanely polished it is, the menus, animations, transitions, sound effects are so slick and effortless. Great art and music, simple yet charming story. This game just "gets" what makes a turn-based tactics game good, the importance of movement, enemy ranges, interesting combos, unit variety and victory conditions that have enough variety to …

MECHANICS: Floppy Knights is the most accessible entry in the tactics genre. Splicing deck building DNA into the game creates an incredibly fun and unique experience that doesn't exist anywhere else. The format forces you to adapt with each scenario requiring a different strategy and the difficulty fluctuating based on how you built your deck, where your units are, what is in your hand, and what could you draw into …

Players who liked Floppy Knights talk about charming art, music, and writing; those who didn't talk about rNG from card draws can be frustrating. Which matters more to you?

No longer was I surprised about: - Attack and other stats not showing on enemies without opening a popup window for each one (excuse me but wtf?) - Terrible logic/bad communication about cards and effects. This is all over the place and it will mislead you due to the writer lacking logic skills. - Vital information missing from tooltips of various items/cards. For instance numerical values, and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is a simple turn based game with flaws. If I wanted to play a great turn based game, Into the Breach is better. If I wanted to play a flavorful plant game, Plants vs Zombies is superior. My main complaints are below. Beating the levels involves surviving x amount of turns, protecting the AI, killing the satellite, or beating the boss. Lack of creativity for the levels and after beating 10-15 levels, you have seen what the game offers. This is related to above point. Strategy is limited…

neutral · AI labelView post →There's a lot to like, it has a charm, but ultimately it was getting tedious. It just takes too long to win battles that offer no challenge; sometimes waiting for a turn where the cards allow a breakthrough. I think it would suit the youngest audience.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game isn't the worst I've played, but it's pretty rough. I'm personally very into card deck style games, and fairly good at them. The game has a cute art style and story, but card synergy isn't always great, and it can get slow/tedious/fairly boring particularly late game. I would honestly put it as a recommend if the UI wasn't clunky/annoying to deal with. Deck building is extremely annoying, rather than showing me a card list with card names/effects all listed, and with any filter…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Floppy Knights is not bad, it's quite fun, it's very cozy and the art style is cute. Sadly there are many similar games which range from "great" to "amazing", so I can't really justify recommending it while so many better alternatives exist.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm giving this one a thumbs down. I got halfway through the story, encountered a ui bug that forced me to close the program, and I probably won't be coming back to finish this one. Other than the aforementioned bug, I just don't think they hit the mark they were aiming for on this title. Its a mash up of a turn based tactics game ala Advance Wars and a deck-builder. The tactics side is just fine, but nothing new. If you've ever played any other tactics game, you will find no surprises…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game itself is fine, altough it is super slow. If we could increase animation speed by like 8x it would be a good game, but as is it is not worth it. And it does not seem that there will be anyupdate to adress this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wish I could like this one. I recognize at least the art from another game called dicey dungeon that was excellent and still stands as one of my favorite games out there. However The deckbuilding here is simple and the game as it's not a rogue like eventually leads to you having a stale deck. I appreciate the attempt that was made to have you own a growing collection of cards but I think it would've benefited from more "power creepy" and "chase legendary" cards as well as options for…

neutral · AI labelView post →Played for a couple hours on Steam Deck, found it to be a cute, fun game. Started it on my laptop, and it overwrote my save data. Looked online, and found this is a known issue and has been for a couple years. That took all the fun away. I can't play a game where the save data gets overwritten if I make the tiniest of missteps. Uninstalling.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall a cute little game. Took about 10 hours to do the base storyline, only doing a couple of challenge stages. Music is good. I feel there is a bit too much dialog, that they use half as many more sentences than they needed to, and I got to the point where I just skipped all of the dialog after around the third location, so not sure if the story is good. Plays quite well on SteamDeck, no issues with text visibility, controls or performance.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Although I loved Dicey Dungeons (despite it making me wonder if I'm a masochist), this game has none of the addictive qualities of that game. Everything here is unbalanced and unfun. Levels are absolute SLOGS to get through and I feel like I'm being actively tortured by some of the challenge levels. There's no fun combos, no sense of momentum. The artwork is incredible and the overall idea of the game is unique and exciting but sadly the execution doesn't deliver on that promise. On top of…

It scratches the same itch as Dicey Dungeons where I can pick it up and play for a bit (then hours pass accidentally) and work on my little goals in satisfying ways. I wasn't able to beat 6-3 before the patch, but I still think it's the hardest level in the game by far, with the challenge level version taking the longest for me as well. I do think the challenge levels are the most interesting part…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gameplay is fine but the characters rub me the wrong way. When the daughter is a genius inventor and the mom the town blacksmith, respected and appreciated by all, what is the dad doing? It seems pretty misandrist how men are portrayed altogether: either weak, annoying, or infantilized. This game is clearly spitting in the face one group, while presenting the other as superior, dominating, and more capable. Wish I could get my money back.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game play is quite enjoyable, the art style is cute and fun, but I basically haven't been able to progress past the first few levels because my save file keeps being overwritten to the very beginning due to faulty cloud saves. Apparently it's a known issue, but the fact that there is no fix and I keep progressing from the start just to have to restart because I opened the game on my Steam Deck or laptop instead of my desktop is extremely frustrating and deters me from continuing to play any…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A simple deck-building strategy game that succeeded in creating a good foundation with some added charm. While most of the mechanics in the game remained familiar with little deviation from the formula, the degree of polish easily made up for the lack of innovation. There was enough depth in each core deck in addition to your card selections to make interesting choices. And the charm of the art and dialogue sufficed as well. However, the real strength of Floppy Knights lies in its understanding…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a really cool combination of tactics game and deckbuilder. Very solid requiring a good deal of strategy. That said, eventually the RNG got to me, because the only thing you're guaranteed is one move card at every turn and each creature can attack (but not move) once without the use of cards and once levels require a lot more time, it's not fun spending all that time to lose to a bad hand or even a bad decision as it features no saving during the levels. All of that said, I don't regret my…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute but Deadly This tactical card battler looks very innocent and simplistic. In the beginning this might be true, but towards the mid-end, it becomes Very challenging. The movement and positioning of units is the Players main source of strategy. Second to that is your Deck build. Card order/draw is completely random and can easily screw you over. There are 3 different Decks to work with. Each with themed cards and special Hero units. You can customize any deck with any school of cards, but…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall a fun and cute game. I really enjoyed the first hours as I learned the mechanics. However, in the last half of the main game I had a lot of mixed feelings. I think some of the cards are simply too powerful, and I think it's too easy to go infinite. I beat the 2-3 last worlds going infinite without much thinking and I even beat the last boss first try on the first turn on my first play-through. So the card balance isn't quite there yet, but I think the game concept has a lot of potential.

neutral · AI labelView post →Tactical game that offers little originality and little excitement. Although the levels vary in objectives and tactics, the gameplay is consistently bland. I never felt any real anticipation on unlocking new cards or even new decks. I'm currently around halfway through the campaign, and every mission already feels like a slog -- I just want to finish each one so that I'm one step closer to being able to feel like I've experienced enough to feel justified in putting the game aside. There are…

It has very well-executed and unique mechanics, a compelling story, great characters, fun graphics, and some solid music as well. It felt a little too easy at the start but the difficulty was soon elevated to a fun and challenging level. There's a huge variety in cards, maps, and level objectives, so the gameplay never feels monotonous or boring. There are 75 levels in total and I really enjoyed playing through them all! I especially liked…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An uncomplicated, entry-level turn-based strategy game along the likes of Advance Wars and Fire Emblem, splashed with uncomplicated, entry-level deck-building mechanics. While that's certainly a mouth full, for anyone with interests in either turn-based strategy games or deck-builder games, there's just about enough content to earn their interest, without having the complementing aspect hold back the enjoyment of either. In fact both elements go hand in hand really well, making me wonder about…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice little Card and Board Game, has some RNG to it but I don't think it hurts really. Isn't a game with the most depth, but is enough to be entertained. Nice Game to play for short times in between. The Commander really is the one doing most of the work. One doesn't really win a lot by spamming creatures, as they will clutter your deck and moving creatures isn't free. So they will mostly stand around. They are very useful for blocking portals though, so they have their uses. All in all 7/10,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →hard, boring and unbalanced gameplay
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really didn't get this at all. I was hoping for an Advance Wars / Wargroove type afffair, but this is mostly a few units, on a few static maps, with no undo button. It's a state game where you have to complete the challenge by getting your position and cards correct. Also, the game is currently unbalanced, with some combos game breaking. This should have stayed in Early Access.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is really fun but I wish it leaned a little harder into the RPG side of things. As it is, it's a really solid puzzle adventure game with A+ aesthetics and if the trailer and screenshots look at all like your thing than you won't be disappointed. I only wish it was a little more of an RPG that let me grind and upgrade my deck and cards, I was somewhat expecting a world I could walk around in and NPCs to interact with like that Pokemon CCG gameboy game. Instead it is a series of battles…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not the worst game I've played but I definitely wouldn't recommend it for full price. I was drawn in by how cute the cover art was but the game itself is pretty boring.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Floppy Knights is a deck building, grid based, strategy RPG. I really like the deck building aspects, but the game play tends to drag on a bit and skews too puzzle-like for me. The graphics and story aren't my style. Still, it's a creative game for a very reasonable price.

Floppy Knights (store.steampowered.com/app/1057800/...) another banger by the same team (this one also has @marlowedobbe.com's excellent art). deck construction, card purchasing, tactical play, it's really funny and the music was in my top 10 albums that year last year. what's better than this?
positive · AI labelView post →F - Floppy Knights I made the mistake of starting this on Game Pass shortly before it was removed. I enjoyed it, but having to start over kind of sucked the wind from my sails.
neutral · AI labelView post →Well, hell yes. I love 'puzzle tactics' games and this is definitely a good example. I guess this is a kind of Wargroove-lite with deckbuilding. Must be 15-20 hours of gameplay here, probably not much replayability, but it's definitely worth it for fans of the genre.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Relatively simple but fun tactical game with an interesting artstyle and nice music. Somewhat easy for most of the levels, but the flexibility of the normal stages is very nice for varying playstyles. Admittedly, the card drawing rng can clash with the tactical gameplay (I really wish there were more cards earlier that let you thin your deck) and that can be more problematic in some of the harder optional levels that give you a predetermined deck. While it has a few potentially frustrating…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you want a cute casual game then this is perfect, if you want an actually challenging tactics game then this isn't. The mechanics of the game end up allowing you to endlessly spawn units and so even at it's most difficult the game is just a war of attrition.
