    Toads of the Bayou is visually charming and, thankfully, it has the gameplay chops to back it up. There might be a few quirks that need ironing out, but it's a gameplay loop that's equal parts simple and thoughtful.

    La Grange and Fireshine Games have created a unique deckbuilder featuring a fresh froggy thematic in the form of Toads of the Bayou. It might need some additional deckbuilding design depth, but it has enough to hold players over for several roguelike runs.

    Toads of the Bayou has so many awesome concepts that I thought it may just be one of my games of 2024. The character and world design are both well-developed and adorable, and the gameplay was fun… before I started dying over and over again. To really let more players appreciate this world they have created, La Grange either needs to put in difficulty settings or provide players with more support, instead making gameplay harder by punishing them with ‘cursed’ cards when they are struggling. Because the way it stands, I won’t be jumpin’ to head back to the bayou anytime soon.

    Toads on the Bayou is a challenging game with a fun voodoo-inspired story, great look, and fun characters. I was only able to play a small part on PC, so I hope it gets fixed!
