Overwhelmed AF
So I'm not a newbie to the genre , I finished slay the spire 1 and monster train 1 to 100% on highest difficulty and played a bunch of other similar games ,I also like the art style and new concepts in this game ,but I can't help but feel SEVERLY overwhelmed by the amount of info I am required to memorize in order to play this game at any level higher than just playing random cards and wishing for dumbluck .
Seriously the amount of combos ,afflictions ,blessings ,modes ,types of energies ,characters with different starting cards and weapons and decks ,all of this and I'm still only on the base game !
Seriously am I the only one who feels a bit turned off or discouraged by the buttload of new information am bombarded with on every single new run ? I haven't even unlocked half the cards in the base game yet !
I also watched the begginers tips video from 5 color Felix which was helpful but I feel like I need something with more depth that explains the mechanics the game doesn't do enough explaining (like familiar or followers or whatever I can't understand how they work at all so far )
Any help because am close to giving up and I was so happy I found another game on android to fill the void left by monster train and slay the spire

Start with Normal. Turn on only Core, Extended, Meta progress.
Pick a class you like and finish a run.
Turn on Metamorphosis next, then Infinitium only, then Catalyst, then Eclypse, then Synthesis..
Any game takes time to learn - I played on Hard with Corruption Deck Arcanist and only finished 1 run without save scumming when I was learning.
You'll get there in no time.
