Ruff Ghanor boasts vibrant and detailed artwork, bringing the fantastical world to life. Though most of the game is still images that are animated from one angle the detailed fantasy world still feels immersive in its own way. Attack and other animations feel fluid and interactive despite their limited depth. Ruff can shake the earth causing rocks to fly up and engulf all enemies at once and it seems powerful and creates depth as it covers the ground and enemies.
Here are some cons though thankfully for our wallets this is a pretty reasonably priced game. That being said there are some pretty obvious cost-saving tactics employed here, but it doesn’t ever feel too cheap. The game has more of a low budget or a true indie game vibe to it. Some of the conversations seem a little first-draft-like though and that does seem more like a mistake.
Overall, Ruff Ghanor is a standout title in the realm of deckbuilding games, combining strategic depth, engaging gameplay, and captivating visuals into a unique gaming experience. Whether you’re a veteran strategist or a newcomer to the genre, this game offers something for everyone.
