A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I got myself Cross Blitz in the steam deckbuilder sale. It's a very hearthstone inspired TCG / deckbuilder - even including some recognisable HS archetypes like thief rogue (lol). Defo scratches the HS itch for me, but if you haven't played Hearthstone, you might find it a lot initially.
It has a story mode with separate story for each of the 5 classes and there it is really a TCG. I played through one of them and it was pretty good, but left me wanting for more (especially given the TCG nature). I'm sure if you play through all 4 storylines, you get your money's worth, but there isn't really a point where your deckbuilding skills are heavily challenged.
It also has a roguelite mode which seems pretty extensive with many unlockable characters/starting decks. I'm pretty far in that and it's fun. It also has a hard mode, which is kinda needed, as normal is a bit on the easy side.
Generally wouldn't say it's super deep, the powerlevel of passive relics tips it more into a "build OP deck" playstyle. But it's really fun and has a nice colorful and cure artstyle.
