    This game is currently in the Humble Choice for July 2022, this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before August 2nd, 2022, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.

    Slay the Spire in the Animal kingdom.

    Banners of Ruin has players choose two starting characters, with only the Mouse and Bear available, but four others promised. From there, players have three lanes on screen at any time and have to choose one of the lanes to advance the cards and tackle different events. Normal battles are challenging but there are also elite battles that consistently wrecked me.

    The entire game involves building your deck, and equipping items onto your characters, then tackling events to see what happens next. In battle, you’ll draw cards, and each of your characters can use them. Character placement can matter, as does the items characters have equipped. The experience here is both challenging but interesting and will entertain players of deck builders.

    Pick this up if you already enjoy Slay the Spire. There are enough changes to the formula, from the party system to the equipment that will greet fans of the genre with something fresh. But I’m not sold on where it will place in the pantheons of deck builders. Still, it’s unique in some of the elements it tries
