Red wave cheat shift

I started playing some time ago as I’m now level 70 ish Point is the game is now corrupt. Just like the Trump admin. If you don’t pay you can play, but you will get nothing but trash as a reward. I’m close to giving up completely. It’s a shame this game leaves the door wide open for a new developer to swoop in and take 100’s of players away from a cheating platform.

Huge money grab

This game is not worth the download, if you are f2p you don’t stand a chance of ever getting good. They have a season every month with new cards that come out op and you have to spend at least hundreds to get these cards, these cards they release are overly strong and hard to overcome..until next month when they release the new season with the counters to the previous month counters. So if you spend the next month then you have officially made your last months spending obsolete. There’s never a break. F2P have no chance and spenders are spending a ton monthly just to compete. The game always has bugs. The devs are always steps behind cheaters. They can’t detect them. I’m not sure if they’re not allowing them to cheat to get legit players to spend to compete with them or if they’re aren’t smart enough to catch them. This has become the worst money hungry game on the market. And they don’t care. I’m predicting that this is a huge money grab before they shut down servers. If you wanna spend thousands to compete monthly this game is for you, if not I would say stay clear. People are leaving this game in drones and for good reason. This games greed is ruining what was once a great game.

Easy to play

Love how simple and entertaining it is to play.

Walk thru

No way to stop the walk though so that I can enter my existing acct. get thru the freaking wang through and no way to get to may acct…

Game runs ads in the background

While having this game open it will constantly run ads in the background that you can’t see or hear it kill your phone battery while putting money in there pockets while you get nothing out of it

Can you fix this bug?

It always kicks me out of the app when I being there for
Too long

A real shame- I stayed for the guild

Consistently crashes even when up to date (especially during guild battles) and more recently, they kicked me out of arena and my guild accusing me of cheating. I’m a F2P player, nothing special. They looked again and apologised for this, giving me 500 gems. However, it cost me a space in my guild (minimum level 70 and I couldn’t contact them), the rewards for the week from the guild bosses, the guild war rewards after duelling all week and now the chests don’t pop up for future rewards and I cannot donate/ request. Truly appalling.

Would get more

Would get more stars if they offered a system for multiple accounts. One account one device kinda lags behind the other guys. But overall extremely fun game

Awesome game awesome devs!

Please keep up the events as i enjoy them very much! Also please add more to the dungeon area, tower & campaign 🫶
Edit: This was a great game for me for about the last two years but now they have updated the game so much without properly optimizing it my game crashes every 2-5 min now after opening it. Its from the new ios update the problem has been going on for over a month ive spent thousands in this game & this is what im left with a game i cant even open .. so if thats what you want to get into as a new player enjoy & have fun
Ps ill update my review if the game is ever fixed

pay-to-win concerns and the impact of ongoing changes

⭐️ 2/5

Black Deck has become increasingly difficult to enjoy as a competitive player. Many players have spent significant amounts of money building and upgrading specific decks, only to have the game mechanics, progression, rewards, and card balance repeatedly changed afterward.

New cards are continually introduced that can substantially outperform existing cards, creating a constant pressure to spend more money just to remain competitive. Cards and decks that players previously invested heavily in can quickly become far less useful after balance changes or the introduction of newer, stronger cards.

The competitive environment today feels completely different from what many players originally invested in. Instead of rewarding strategy and long-term investment, the game increasingly feels like you have to continually purchase the newest cards to keep up.

I understand that a free-to-play game needs to make money, but there needs to be a reasonable balance between monetization and respecting the time and money players have already invested.

Black Deck has a lot of potential, but the constant power creep, expensive progression, and changes that devalue previous investments are making it increasingly difficult to recommend.

This is one of the most god awful games in the App Store. Relentless pop up store offers in every screen.
The servers are some of the worst in any game in this game format. And beware, any purchase is susceptible to a double charge that the game, nor the App Store will reimburse more than once. This app deserves a negative star. Check the games Discord to verify that this review is consistent before installing.

Addictive

I’ve been playing Black Deck for about two months now, and I have to say—it’s incredibly addictive! I actually started playing because I saw an ad for it on another app, and I’ve been hooked ever since.

I agree with some of the other reviews that the pricing can be a little odd. However, as you play, you learn what is worth spending on and what is better to hold off on. This is definitely a long-term game, and you can progress as quickly or slowly as you want. Spending can help you move faster or get a card you really want, but I don’t feel it’s necessary to enjoy the game or build a strong deck.

There are ads, but I don’t find them to be any worse than other mobile games. I also appreciate the work that goes into the updates and events. When issues with the app do happen, the developers have compensated players with free items, which makes the occasional problem much easier to overlook.

What I really enjoy is the depth of the game. There are so many ways to build your deck, and power doesn’t always mean you’ll win. A deck with good synergy can be much stronger than simply putting your highest-powered cards together. The cards are creative and fun, and the God cards have some beautiful artwork.

The game also continues to give you reasons to improve. As you progress, you face stronger opponents while also gaining access to better cards, rewards, and higher-level dungeon battles where you can earn legendary artifacts. Legendary cards aren’t automatically stronger right away and can be harder to level, but many scale much higher over time, which makes investing in them rewarding.

There are also plenty of ways to participate outside of regular battles. Joining a good guild can make a huge difference. Guild members can help you improve your deck, and Guild Wars can help you progress faster. There are even long-term investments, like gem mines and storage, that may cost more upfront but pay off the longer you play.

What surprised me most is how much more strategic the game has become for me. When I started, I mostly looked at which cards had the highest power. Two months later, I’m thinking about synergy, abilities, heroes, gods, artifacts, traits, and how everything works together. I’m constantly experimenting, and even when I think I’ve built a strong deck, there’s still something I can improve.

Overall, Black Deck is a great game if you enjoy collecting, strategy, and having something to work toward. You can play casually or really dive into the strategy and deck building. After two months, I’m still hooked—and I still feel like I have a lot more to discover!

Horrible Customer Support

Terrible Support for a Problem They Created

I enjoyed the game until I ran into an issue involving a Blue Dragon Mecha skin I purchased.

The game showed that I owned the skin, but there was no option to equip it. I contacted support, followed their instructions exactly, restarted the game, provided multiple screenshots, and repeatedly explained that the skin menu they said should appear simply did not exist on my account.

Only after several back-and-forth messages did support finally check with the developers and discover the real reason: my account had been placed into an undisclosed test group where skins cannot be equipped until Account Level 17. I was only Level 12.

So the game allowed me to purchase a skin without warning me that I would not be allowed to use it for another five account levels because of an experiment I was never told I was part of.

Their own support documentation also said skins could be equipped immediately, which was not true for my account.

I asked for a reasonable solution: enable the feature, remove me from the test group, or simply refund what I spent on the unusable skin. They refused all three.

One support representative even told me that the early levels can be completed “fairly quickly,” completely missing the point. Another characterized the undisclosed test restriction as simply a “feature of your account,” said nothing more could be done, warned me not to submit duplicate requests, and closed the conversation.

The skin itself is not the real issue. The issue is the way this was handled. The developers created an undisclosed restriction, placed my account in a test group, allowed me to purchase without warning me, support initially gave me incorrect instructions because they apparently did not know about their own test, and once they finally figured out what happened, they refused to offer any meaningful remedy.

After seeing how support handles a problem caused entirely by their own testing and lack of disclosure, I am seriously questioning whether this game deserves any more of that time.

Way to many pop up adds. Its a nice simple game but i can barely get a word in between the adds. Every time i click on something theres another pop up. Just deleted it

Update required

That game needs an update ASAP because it keeps kicking me off

Coisas excessivas

O jogo é até legal, mas toda vez que vc abre ter que fechar 10/15 pop-ups de promoção, eventos infinitos que são mais do mesmo desanima demais

Awesome game awesome devs!

Too many pop ups

Love that it’s has just enough difference to set it apart from other TCG’s, but the amount of pop ups for pay to play is crazy!
