For me, if I ever hear "card-based" or "soulslike" I have absolutely no desire to play a game, no matter how many people reccomend it.

I'm also not a huge fan of modern "roguelikes" but I've sunk days into nethack and games like that.

    if I'm playing a city builder I don't want my city building options to be "whatever's in your deck of cards"

    if I'm playing an RPG I don't want my skills and equipment or whatever to be "a bunch of cards"

    if I wanted to play a card game... I'd play a card game

      You’re talking about card games though, like those are just card games with novel mechanics
