While brevity is appreciated, wit can sometimes overshadow sincerity, resulting in a performance rather than genuine feedback. As I review games, I often find my notes filled with useless jokes instead of practical insights, a reminder of my need to showcase intelligence even in a private document.
One game that caught my eye is a puzzle game featuring cards that offer multiple options, reminiscent of Gloomhaven. The protagonist, a ghost with an axe named Axe Ghost, piqued my interest with its quirky design.
The demo of this game falls into the category of being challenging yet intriguing enough to keep playing. It’s a delicate balance to strike, as I enjoy being challenged while also seeking validation of my skills.

The game involves using cards with reversible arrows to manipulate and eliminate groups of monsters, akin to a Tetris-style strategy. Failure to strategize effectively can result in losing the game, emphasizing the importance of planning your moves carefully.
With various card abilities like moving rows and columns, freezing monsters, and the essential axe card, the game presents a complex yet engaging gameplay experience.
Despite the initial complexity, the game flows smoothly once you grasp the rules, offering a blend of classic gameplay elements in a modern puzzling format. It’s impressive to note that the game is developed by a single individual, showcasing dedication and talent in game design.
As of now, there is no set release date for Axe Ghost, but it’s definitely one to watch out for in the future.
