Very solid deck-building card game, lots of ways to develop your character and Ascension system, which is basically NG+, keeps things fresh and exciting no matter how many times you've Slain the Spire!

The GUI is a bit choppy, got a few CTD's, game would certainly benefit from more hotkeys, but it still is fairly enjoyable piece of game. And after getting used to the interface, good game kicks in. If you want to play zombie rpg/sim/turn-based strategy, definitely grab it.

It certainly differs from the first installment, but it would be a lie to tell that it was not enjoyable.
Singleplayer and co-op gameplay is focused on small squad tactics, you can have up to four squads available at the same time. Leaders gain levels, have customisable loadout (weaponry, armour, trinkets) and talent trees (of sorts).


P.S.: I would advise downloading respec mod for vanilla DoW II, otherwise trying different loadouts requires starting NG (and proper ranged dreadnought will require lots of grind)
