Press reviews: “Two Tiny Dice has crafted an excellent roguelite deckbuilder that dares to be different and delivers on its promise with deep strategy, big replayability, and excellent presentation.” Rogueliker “Pyrene has plenty of competition from other deckbuilders, but it sets itself apart in so many ways that it’s still easy to recommend. Its deep strategy is incredibly satisfying, with short runs that make it tempting to go back for another attempt time after time after time.” Inverse “Pyrene absolutely deserves your time if you're a fan of deckbuilders. It looks and sounds absolutely beautiful, and its simple but moreish gameplay loop will keep you coming back time and time again.” 9/10 – GameSpew
