Great game!
- James Webb · v1.19.003
weekly challenge warrior build. how do you get your companion to act with no companion act cards? they give you a mechanical arm/claw card to play a card from your hand for free. guess what the cards in your hand are surge cards and shields. not a single attack. nothing let's you attack with anything nor tell you how to attack with your companion when you are maxed out on mana by turn 3. so many bugs and bs with this game.
- mike bannwart · v1.19.003
Maybe the best deckbuilder out there
- Anthony Allen · v1.19.003
One of the best deck builders! If I get bored I just wait a bit, come back, and bam DLC.
- Darrell M · v1.19.003
I did Love this game. Bought all the expansions and bundles. Since last update lost all of them. they won't reload. I have waited but see no resolve. Very devistated.
- Aaron Clements · v1.19.003
Only mobile game I've enjoyed and I think it's awesome and in a league of it's own if you like deck builders.
- Jonatan Knudsen · v1.19.003
great game I would give it five stars if it didn't have the daze mechanic. Fights with daze are just a grind and not fun. Otherwise great game.
- John Barnum · v1.19.002
Best Mobile Card Game in the market
- Ana Kon · v1.17.002
Genuinely fantastic game. Loads of replayability, fun builds of different kinds, good mechanics, and a good draft mode for when you want a break from story mode.
- Taktive
Fantastic game. One of the best deckbuilder games on mobile I've ever played. Lots of replayability. There are 5-6 classes to choose from, 10 or so starting weapons and cards per class, and just an insane amount of different ways each build can go as you start collecting cards. I've played it every night for awhile and I still have builds I keep thinking "okay next run, I'm gonna try this" but something new pops up, or i unlock a new starter weapon and I go that route. I bought all DLC.
- Holden Jackson · v1.19.001
my favorite deckbuilder of all time
- Douglas Pearson · v1.18.005
The core gameplay is great. Plenty of synergy and options between cards. The Rpg aspect is pretty good and lots of npcs and enermy types. My biggest gripe with the game is it is in desperate need of a fliterable index. There is no easy way of looking at cards that you have unlocked and filtering them for specific keywords or colors. This is especially frustrating when trying to build a deck in the Sunforge Mode. If made please make it accessible from the run.
- Ben Kirn · v1.19.000
genuinely one of the most fun games I've played. I love it, my kids love it. it combines deck building with unique starter decks, rogue like elements and a wide array of strategies. I highly recommend
- Stephanie Rice · v1.18.003
fantastic rogue-lite deck builder. I have no regrets for either the time or money I've given them, and look forward to supporting the game in the future
- Joshua Mynatt · v1.19.000
Fun game.
- Ian Hale · v1.18.005
Really well done, tons of replayability, and the dlc is worthwhile.
- Chuck Falzone · v1.18.005
One of the best purchases I have made in a while. For me this blows Slay the Spire out of the water. It feels less about trying to break the game and more about creating thoughtful thematic decks. The build variety is huge and all of the card packs are free, give this game a bit of time to learn and this will be one of the best card games you can buy. The developers seem to take a customer first mentality and even have card contest with tons of cards that are community created.
- Stephan House · v1.18.005
played this for years. great DLC support, fantastic game
- Mitchell Watson (Mitchkee) · v1.18.005
the game is a 4.5 but with the first payment you just buy the first chapter, after that you have to pay an extra 5€ each and there are many. Sorry to the developers but this is not a 30/50€ game. Due to this greed 3 stars
- Javier Lahoz Prades
noice and deep mechanics. a lil more advanced than slay the spire.
- Magnus Fløysvik · v1.18.005
I've been looking for this game! Can't wait to play ad naseum
- Parina Kay · v1.18.005
Fun game. Not overly demanding. There is only one currency. and once you've unlocked all the rewards there's not much to spend them on. I look at this as a positive. There are tasks(bounties) which refresh daily if completed. But you can skip days of play and when you come back they're still there waiting patiently for you. (you can change 1 per day if you don't like or can't complete one). The campaign takes about an hour to complete. Sunforge takes significantly less, maybe 20-30 minutes.
- Fox Kit
Once you figure the game out it is challenging and addicting!
- Barry Blais · v1.18.005
this game is awesome! there's just a couple of tweaks I would make or if you guys could implement some new things in the future. for instance when you go to a campfire and say you select to delete a card or something you should be able to click back and get out of that and not have to commit to deleting a card because you're basically stuck deleting something. finally if you could put some sort of gauntlet mode or endless mode that would be great
- Christopher Marek · v1.18.005
are there some interactions that don't work? it seems if I play frostbolt then cryolance doesn't decrease in cost, for example. pacify also appears to not prevent attacks.
- michael trieb · v1.18.005
Only one DLC remains (Infernal Invasion) I haven't purchase yet. As someone who love the game, I also suggest you should also have to put endless run mode to test how far you could really go with your chosen characters and strategy and level.
- Loki Ras Reponte · v1.18.005
Can neither install nor get a refund.
- Artem Shush
Should have more storylines to play through for the cost. Feels too much like a Slay the Spire knockoff that is somehow too simple and too complex all at once. Lacks a good tutorial or rule set.
- Christopher Akers · v1.18.005
longtime player here been playing for a few years, it's a go to time killer but the problem is the game tanks your rng to the ground when you have double runs going and I like playing the games but a reroll system for events or actually nice opportunities would be nice as this game is devils advocate where most opportunities are give and take but you need to give more than you get and it's overly complicated to use the system advantageously. content is slow as in the wait is longer than playtime
- Liam Jansen · v1.18.005
Quite possibly the best deckbuilding roguelike I've ever played, especially once you buy the expansions.
- Charles Cohen · v1.18.005
one of if not the best game on mobile
- Andrew James · v1.18.005
had trouble accessing the game initially, but for some help on discord and it's now solved. game is pretty good - not played for long but just wanted to update my review to reflect the game.
- Alan Gwilt · v1.18.005
this game got me hooked for hours!!!
- Charles · v1.18.005
Having lots of fun so far, will update when I've played more
- enigmatic koala · v1.18.005
fun game, however i always have a hard time staying in a game when it has to much dlc right off thr bat.
- Danni Conry
Nice game, but could be better designed in a sense that we could have more different scenarios, enemies and cards to play. I'm super familiar with the concept of rogue likes, but this one gets way too repetitive because you get to do always the same battles almost in the same order against same enemies, they could randomize a little better the enemies between runs, it's not impossible I have played other games that do this, also its a little limited in types of cards, but its worth its price.
- Bruna · v1.18.005
Good game. Initially I didn't understand how things were working so I kept dying. but once I understood how everything needs to be done. It was pretty easy but yeah initial runs were very frustrating I guess that's how it is supposed to be. But worth the learning
- Susongbrit Bhattacharya · v1.18.005
If you like roguelikes, roguelites, deckbuilders and/or nonpredatory monetization, this is the game for you. very replay-able deckbuilder. extra monetization comes in the form of optional expansion pack dlcs, which are large and well priced for the content you get(each has enough cards to feel like another base game added on)
- Sarah Harper · v1.18.005
was looking for something like slay the spire 2. found something I enjoy more.
- Shawn Dibble · v1.18.005
it's very slay the spire inspired but there is a lot of unpleasant guesswork which is really strange since the game doesn't always explain what each vague option does. the choices in events also DO NOT TELL you anything about what might happen and you can get perma debilitating statuses from them that don't seem possible to remove. again, sts was more transparent. I want to take risks but not blind risks that have an unknown chance of ending my run. makes me want to just Google the choices
- m km · v1.18.005
unity cloud? no thanks
- Kurap Cat · v1.18.005
all gas no brakes. flip cards til you win or lose. not exactly fun.
- Brian Bilzor · v1.18.005
The hookability is high and the game is definitely worth its price. My 4/5 stars is measured in worth for money, otherwise it'd be 3/5. However the cards and different strategies aren't exactly well balanced. Runs are too long and start feeling grindy as I tend to mostly max out my deck by combat area 3 (out of 7). The "RPG cardventure" is just themeing and not really what is advertised. Stock characters with nothing interesting or funny to say, cheap animations
- Tommi Halonen · v1.18.005
Its sublime!
- Jeffrey Nielson · v1.18.005
Great deckbuilder, lots of fun. Without expansions takes around 80 hours from first messing around to beating the game on hardest - that at leisurely pace. No silly ads, lots of available play styles, awesome game overall.
- Tomáš Chmelař · v1.18.005
this has been a great game up until the last update. some of the monsters have become impossible to kill. One example is the slime monster in the second act. it managed to generate over 1.5 million health points and do 400 damage with one hot by the 4th round on "normal" difficulty. and this isn't the only monster that's gone insane.
- Andrew Dufton · v1.18.004
had it on my iphone game was mediocre at best u get a steady run enter against mob/boss that straight up just counters u game over u go again just to realize that the class u now choose is just dog and u singed up for a waste of minutes of ur life fighting the boss just for the hope that the stars align so u can continue ur run but no since u have to burst it. sadly u went with prolonging the fight now ur gonna lose no matter what. but u know what thank god slay the spire is on phone now.
- ZeMy · v1.18.004
easily one of the best rogue lite card games I've played also well worth the money on top of that there is a discord where the developers are active and a big community who will help if they can all in all take my damn money
- Metoos Mutator
Great game. I really like playing it before bed because its a chill but engaging card game.
- c johns
Not bad but it got to a point of feeling repetitive.
- Sigourney Taylor
Game is BEYOND difficult even on the easiest settings. DO NOT GET if you are looking for something fun and casual. Devs need to quit game development.
- Tyler Johnson · v1.18.003
Awesome 😎 👍🏼👍🏼 Able to play offline, perfect for the train adapts well to start and stop playing, they add free new Cards every DLC very reasonably priced. Challenging but oh so satisfying once you make progress and figure out some busted combos.
- Nathan Scullen · v1.18.003
The best deck building roguelike i have ever played. (Even better then slay the spire).
- Kerr · v1.18.003
Great game, lots of fun.
- m n · v1.18.003
so very very buggy. cards are not being done right. cards that should combo dont. big example is anything with lasting is supposed to be multiple turns not a single one lasts more than a turn etc. why promise something when you cant follow through with it
- mike bannwart · v1.18.003
sucks. biggest negative is microtransactions on a pay to play game like it's an OF
- Joey q
the game is amazing. it's simple and deep at the same time. you can play it however you want and don't easily get bored. there's a lot of progression possible and also the option to e.g. disable certain extensions/card sets
- Bratz Meister · v1.18.003
A very solid deckbuilding/roguelite game even as a completely free game. I enjoyed my time as a free player so much that I ended up buying the extra campaigns, but at no point did I feel I *had* to spend to get a good game experience from it. While not groundbreaking in any specific regard, it stands far above most mobile games and at no point does it feel like a skinner box or cash grab; just a solid light tactical game, just right for my commute.
- Nuh Nah
Quite a good game, it feels like it could be absolutely amazing but falls short of reaching its full potential the good- no ads!! this is a single player game with no ads or P2W mechanics or any kind classes feel distinct, with each one having a distinct play style as well as tons of variations progression system allowing for unlocking new cards and abilities the bad- each run follows the same path, getting kind of stale unlocks are slow and grindy many keywords aren't well explained
- Matthew Crouch · v1.18.003
An amazing roguelike deck builder. Tons of different archetypes, difficulties, random events, and amazing art. edit: There's too much random stuff that can dramatically weaken your deck that you have no control over. Kills the game for me.
- Tyler Robinson · v1.18.003
splendid
- Ken St-Arnaud · v1.18.003
this is one of the best games I've ever played!
- William Pogor · v1.18.003
I really love this game and have had a great time with it. Very addictive card game.
- Carlos Lopez · v1.18.003
Amazing mobile roguelike!!
