Meh: Luck based trash
The game positions itself as some kind of skill-based faire. But truthfully, it’s 110% luck based in the worst way.
There are blinds where you can easily beat 75,000+, but then on the next round you can’t even beat 600 because the cards or joker pulls are just that bad.
The game also throws stupid, insurmountable blinds at you, like having all cards be face down, or invalidating your most used hand.
You also don’t retain any of the power ups, so there’s no way to continuously get better and move onto another level.
You’re just stuck in this stupid cycle of ‘oh wow I did really well’ and ‘how could I not even meet the 450 blind?’
Also, the dev put the ‘discard’ button where most people two automatically - you can change that in settings, but it feels intentionally malicious that they’d put the discard button in the most inconvenient spot for players.
Ultimately, I have no idea why this is getting the accolades that it is getting. It’s an OK game for a short while, but then you realize how needlessly antagonistic the game is and if they dialled it down a notch, the game would be far more enjoyable rather than an exercise in frustration.
I’m glad I got this through Apple Arcade. I wouldn’t pay $10 for this slop until its player experience is improved.
