    This game certainly seems like it's trying to capitalize on the indie-gamers' thirst for Slay the Spire-like games, and I would say it does a good job at catering to that. There's a surprising amount of depth I didn't expect at first and runs turn out pretty varied.

There's a surprising amount of depth I didn't expect at first and runs turn out pretty varied.

    That being said Bum-Bo hasn't quite managed to capture me as much as StS has; maybe it's because there's limited creative deckbuilding and most of your brainpower goes into making good plays on the board which, at times, can be a bit mechanical.

    I'm looking forward to pouring more time into the game though to explore it in it's entirety, and I'd say it's definitely worth 12 bucks. I'm looking forward to more updates aswell.    … Expand

    Probably the best match four game I have played, but it does get a bit boring after a while. It is also a bit disheartening to take no damage for 30 minutes just to die in one room, these difficulty spikes don't feel great.

    Its not bad and its fun but lacks content and theres very little to do and its not even that hard sadly.

    Legend of Bum-bo isn't a bad game, it just never found itself. The most disappointing thing is how this game was treated after launch.

    Beneath the simple “match-three” surface lies a very conscious attempt to subvert the traditions of this trite genre. [Issue#243, p.58]

    I still don’t know if I pulled all those all-nighters with the game despite its bugs because of my Stockholm syndrome or because it’s really that good. [01/2020, p.59]

    Even with current bugs and shortcomings, it's been hard to stop playing. 14 hours later, I still want to take just one more turn.
