    I heard about this game some years ago when I played it with friends. We had a long fun night with it, but I wasn't fully aware of the fact that they had modded endless rounds and 4P multiplayer support in with it. After that I've had a few 1v1s too and while they are fun, it just doesn't last long enough to be real fun. While 4-player support would be a 100% fit with this style of a game I can understand that it …

    ROUNDS is just a really fun game to mess around with when you’re playing with friends. It’s fast, chaotic, and half the time someone wins a round in the dumbest way possible, which, somehow, makes it even better. But after a bit, you start to notice that there’s actually a lot of strategy that goes into the game, and that’s what keeps it interesting instead of it being a one-time party game. A good example is how …

    If monkeys could talk, this would be the game they would eat. Eating, by the way, is very delicious, if you didn't know. This game has no eating whatsoever. That's why I play this game. Or else I might get daibtees.

    nice boredom killer. the one thing I would add is the ability to officially mod the game(like have a mod menu in game) and allow mods to work on the new versions. also I want the ability to host public games with custom rules, such as allow more players at once, or the ability to have infinet rounds. otherwise, good game.

If you have seen people play it, like how it sounds on the steam store page, and/or are good at games like this, you should definitely play it, although I don't know if most people like to play this game as much as me, or even if they still like it since it's almost 4 years old now, but it's a great game you should get if you happen to read this.

    Extremely fun game to play to with a friend or with randoms. Some card combos break the game, but this is a huge positive as it makes for some very funny moments. Even just a few hours in though i can tell that this game could use way more cards. Sadly, it does not seem like this game has or will receive a content update anytime soon. Luckily the moding community for this game is great, and there are plenty of mods that add new content to the game to make it even more replayable. P.S : Gift…

    Honestly, the game is very simple, and is really great honestly. The gameplay is fun, and the areas to fight are good. Although, there is one thing I really don't like about it. You can only play 5 rounds, It's very limited, and just when things get chaotic, it starts all over. There's no way to continue.

    An amazingly great party game for friends, The movement is tight and precise, giving way to some MLG esque shots that make everyone go "oooof good shot". The cards you pick from if you lose a round can really make or break your build. Want a minigun nuke launcher, go for it. There have been many times we have fired a single shot and gotten flashbanged by the FX because of the card scaling. It's a real blast. The only downside is if you're going for the achievments.

Slap on a fantastic modding community, and it's one of the best when you're bored with friends. the amount of vanilla cards makes every round unique, and once you get bored, the mods make the game feel new again.
