What players say

Players describe Lost for Swords as a puzzle-like roguelike deckbuilder with unique positioning on a grid. Many praise its addictiveness and originality, but some say balancing is off, and certain builds can create dead ends. Players split on difficulty: some find it easy, others say the final tower is very hard.
