I thought that game was free to play? I sure own it without having ever buying it on Steam.
It has a varied history but for several years now has required purchase. At some point it converted from free to play to paid-for. You probably had it prior to that conversion and received a ‘gift’ of the base game.
Since the conversion to paid-for the base game gets you all the modes and a core card set and DLCs add in extra cards. Regardless, once you purchase, that is it. No microtransactions. There is in-game currency earned through various gaming that you can buy cosmetics with, but once you buy the base game (or get it free) or a DLC you own everything that comes with it.

This is a followup to First Strike: Final Hour
This is a clever turn-based building game set on Mars. Be warned: It’s pretty tricky, and unless I’m missing something in the mechanics, it currently plays like a game of jumping over increasingly high hurdles, desperately hoping after each one that you’ll recover the energy for one more jump… until you don’t. It’s still in development, but seems to me to be worth keeping an eye on. And at $5 right now, it might be the time to snag it:
sorry, forgot to thank you for the explanation
VirtuaVerse, a cool looking cyberpunk point-and-click adventure game, is releasing May 12. The last adventure-style game I enjoyed was Night in the Woods, but I’m kinda interested in checking this one out.
Have you been playing DemonCrawl. I have been there last couple of days and there’s a staggering amount of stuff crammed into this game. Items and classes to unlock. Modes to unlock, etc. it’s infuriatingly hard at times, yet I keep playing
Nor little or indie area two of those, what is going on with those weird releases!
Slitherine “published” Master of Magic. Intriguing.
Slitherine coupons are only good at their store. I don’t know if they are making it available that way.
also sort of wasted on a 5 dollars game ;)
Just saw your message, and sadly I can’t run Windows Steam on my Mac anymore, so i haven’t been able to check it out.
They’re making the new one, so it makes sense to re-release the old one.
Ah, that nugget had passed me by

Another deckbuilding roguelike I ran across this morn:
I’ll vouch for Deck of Ashes, after having purchased it in July 2019. It’s obviously a Slay the Spire type game, but it has some unique mechanics. Personally, it’s more challenging than StS. But take that with a grain of salt, since I haven’t progressed very far in StS.
