Evaluation

RUNGORE: Beginner Experience is a free prologue/demo for the full game RUNGORE. The full game went through Early Access starting October 12, 2023, and the developer shipped regular major updates during that period — v0.8 (November 21, 2023), v0.85 (December 21, 2023), and v0.9 (March 9, 2024). On May 16, 2024, the developer published a post titled "THE GAME IS READY BOIS! RUNGORE 1.0 IS HERE," explicitly marking the full release of the game after two years of development. This 1.0 update added the final level, New Game+, a new hero, controller support, achievements, and additional polish. The developer framed this as the game reaching its "final form," and no further content updates or announcements have been made since that date. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no roadmaps pointing to future content, and no developer communications after the 1.0 launch post. The store description still describes this app as "a prologue for the full game," and links to the separate full RUNGORE store page. The content for this prologue/beginner experience has been stable since launch, and the 1.0 completion of the main game confirms the developer considers the project complete.

About this game

What is RUNGORE

Have you ever dreamt about a world where you don't need to follow arbitrary rules of your favorite card game? Like, making turns, or use a finite amount of manaenergyAP or whatever. If you answered "yes" then I have a treat for you :)

RUNGORE: Beginner Experience is heavily inspired by Slay The Spire and Loop Hero. It takes all the good parts from those games and smashes them together until they stick.

This version is a prologue for the full game, and its features are:

- Idle battles (very exciting)

- Non restricted card-play. Have you ever wanted to play 100 cards during one encounter? Well, now you can

- 3 heroes with different strategies for each one to explore

- 3 levels to assert dominance over random mobs

- Psychopathic tutorial guide
