Thanks for Posting this! I like the idea of a physical release.
My slay the spire obsession is real this year. Pending reviews I'm there for this one. Previews seem glowing so I'm not too worried.
It's during the combat that you need to hope for the cards to line up, not during adventure.
Such a STACKED week for me:
Avengers Endgame on Wednesday
SteamWorld Quest on Thursday
Days Gone on Friday

Steamworld, for me, has so far been sort of a playground for genres I'm not 100% in on. I wasn't quite sure I was all that into Metroid-style ability-gating exploration games, but Dig 2 (and Knytt Underground) cemented that I really actually like them a lot. I'm playing Heist now, even though I usually don't like squad-oriented, turn-based strategy, and I'm enjoying the heck out of it! I'll probably pick up Quest at some point, as it will probably give me insights into why people like card RPGs, as Heist has given me insights into its kind of game, even though I'm fairly certain that I won't be super into the style afterward.
...so is the Tower Defense game good? I'm pretty light on that genre as well and could do with a taste of it.

Never played it and I'm not really a fan of tower defense games. My friend is though.
When do reviews go up?
They mentioned in a tweet when the game was announced that Baiten Kaitos had been one of the inspirations
Yeah but the trailer hints otherwise?. There's a few names in the book that you can see for a quick second (Dot's is the one i can clearly make out) and also the hook hand could be Gabriel's

from a previous post:
Fan of the series but the idea of a turn-based battle system with cards is the last thing I'm looking for in these games, so unless the reviews are insanely good I'm probably skipping this one.
Giant Bomb's quick look is going up in 20 minutes, so I'm guessing it'll be then.
MK at 60 fps and now this. Nice.
Sure its easier to make that framerate but its still awesome.
Gives me battlechaser nighttwar vibes in terms of look, color & animation and loved that game too

Not to get into semantics but this wont be exclusive for long judging by the other steamworld games.
Probably true but had itt been on multiple platforms then I would likely buy on another platform. There day 1 on switch.
Huh, they broke the embargo an hour early. 4pm GMT which is 5pm BST here in the UK. 5 minutes to go anyway :)

My review just went live here - https://gaminglyf.com/reviews/2019-04-23-steamworld-quest-review-hearthstone-meets-final-fantasy/
I gave it 4/5. Really enjoyed my time with the game, took me roughly 12hrs 20 minutes to complete for those interested. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer!

Yeah, Image & Form's 20-25 hour estimate was way off. Most reviewers finished it in around a dozen hours. I'm personally fine with that length. I actually appreciate shorter RPGs..
Yeah 12 hours for $25 is a pretty good value, can't really complain there but the difference in actual playtime versus what they said is interesting lol
Devs are notoriously bad at estimating playtime for some reason.
Shorter length makes me more willing to buy it actually, since even if card games aren't my thing, I know SteamWorld games have their special charm. I'll wait for a sale, though.
