A story-rich roguelike card game

Wide selection of collectibles
Divinity Chronicles: Journey to the West presents an intriguing, lore-rich plot that spans four thrilling chapters with 60 possible endings to uncover. This enough provides hours’ worth of engaging gameplay that reels players in as they attempt to uncover all the possible subplots this deck-building game has to offer. However, it also has numerous other features that further add to its charm.
The game features a selection of five playable heroes, each with their own unique powers, distinct pool of cards, and special storylines. There are over 20 companions you can recruit, as well as more than 500 collectible cards and 300 relics and consumables to help strengthen your abilities. Each of the 120 NPCs also has its own unique skill sets and background stories that add to the immersive experience.
However, there are a few areas that could use improvement. The balance of certain cards is skewed — favoring some and neglecting others. This can make the game unnecessarily difficult, especially if your luck hands you a set of nearly unusable cards. Additionally, the absence of different speed options is a missed opportunity, as it could enhance the overall experience for players who prefer a faster or slower pace.
A promising immersive experience
Overall, Divinity Chronicles: Journey to the West offers an enthralling gameplay experience filled with challenging gameplay, rich storytelling, and an impressive array of characters, cards, and other collectibles. However, some players — especially casual and new players — can find difficulty navigating the game due to the improper balance of card abilities. The lack of speed options can also make certain battles feel quite tedious due to the length of each run.
