I never do this, but The Last Flame was recommended on my Steam front page, and I bought it on impulse. I've never played an autobattler, but I like the concept - simple gameplay focused around builds and items instead of fast-paced reflexes. I've done one run so far and enjoy it.The premise is this: You start out with 1 hero, moving through the map Slay the Spire-style, and every round you recruit a hero and gather items and currency to improve your heroes. Each her has an active and passive ability, and you need to mix and match your items and heroes to synchronize with each other.
It's deceptively simple, I can tell there's tons of room for build variety and mixing up a ton of different heroes. I'm not sure this is one I'll get a ton of hours out of, but it's a nice little timewaster and something I can play on the side while I work.
Verdict: Timewaster
