What is Peach Peach Diary?
Imagine if a magical girl anime and a roguelike deckbuilder had a baby—that's exactly what you get with Peach Peach Diary. You'll fight doodle monsters in a candy-colored world using a focused, high-speed combo system that's surprisingly addictive.
Gameplay
You play as a Pink Magical Girl fighting doodle monsters that escaped from a diary. Instead of hoarding a massive library of cards like you would in Slay the Spire, this game forces you to master just four unique card types. The core loop is all about chaining these four types into tight, punchy combos. It's less about hunting for one broken legendary card and more about making those specific types dance together to land a chain.
Run variety is decent, but the real hook is the fast pace. You'll also find a wild feature where you can record your own voice for sound effects, which is goofy but adds a weirdly personal touch. However, don't expect the brutal, soul-crushing difficulty of Monster Train. This is a cozy-but-challenging experience that leans heavily into the 'casual' tag.
The rough edges are obvious. The UI feels a bit indie and unpolished, and the meta-progression isn't nearly as deep as the giants of the genre. It's a simpler system overall, but at $5.99, it's a fair price for a light roguelite that scratches that 'just one more run' itch without demanding your entire life.

Verdict
Grab this if you want a cheap, cozy deckbuilder with a fresh aesthetic. Skip it if you're looking for deep meta-progression or a punishing hardcore challenge, as the systems are relatively shallow. 7.5/10.
