### 1/5 — Monetization Hurts Game

*2026-08-15, version 1.0.36*

This is a fun card game, but the recent update cranking up the already pretty strong monetization really hurts it. I wouldn’t even start playing it now.

### 1/5 — Very limited FREE PLAY

*2026-08-09, version 1.0.36*

I really enjoyed playing this game. However in order to advance in the game you need to spend real money. There are opportunities to get more gold in order to purchase the upgraded cards but it was very slow and time consuming. You need to watch a very long video in order to get a reward from a gold chest. It is the only way to accumulate more than 250
gold without spending real money. I really enjoyed playing the game and would spend money to purchase it outright. However how they set up the in-app purchases, it took the fun out for me. Also based on other reviews, this is common perception.

### 5/5 — 面白い！

*2026-08-08*

ソリティアを軸としたローグライトなのでソリティアを知っていればすぐに理解できるシンプルさなので奥深く面白い。1ランの時間も5分〜15分程度でサクサク遊べるしセーブもできるので隙間時間も快適。アートワークや音もいいので癒し効果がある。まとめます。

▼良い点
・ソリティアを知っていればすぐ理解できる
・1ラン10分前後でサクッと遊べる
・高難易度になると普通に負けられる
・キャラクターやレリック、スキルカードが豊富でコンボも楽しめる
・アートワークや音も良い

▼イマイチな点
・最初は各テーブルのルールがわかりにくい
・カードとレリックの収集が終わるとゴールドの使い道がなくなる（あったらすみません）
・進行状況のデータ引き継ぎができない（ゲーム設定・端末設定とも音をONにしているが無音になったので再インストールしたいが引き継ぎがないため断念･･･）

課金はしなくても問題なく遊べますが、お金の所持料は課金した方が快適です。

### 4/5 — Solid and fun, but shop mechanic is annoying.

*2026-08-05, version 1.0.35*

Great game and fun mechanics, but tying progression behind ever-increasing paywalls rather than a single lifetime purchase is kinda scummy. I would rather pay $10 once than pay a monthly subscription for what should be a single purchase. Other than that, it’s great

### 1/5 — It’s just not that great.

*2026-08-04, version 1.0.35*

I loved the first game. I still prefer it over this one despite the first game being totally abandoned.

I liked the quick pickup of the first game so much more. This feels like it wants to go in so many different directions and it got lost in translation. The direction for this game is unclear. The gameplay no where nearly as fun and quick as before. 

It’s disappointing.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!

*2026-08-03, version 1.0.35*

It’s such a relaxing solitare tactical game where unlocking new cards and items can uncover satisfying combinations that just make everything unique!

### 5/5 — これは楽しい！

*2026-07-18*

ほどよく頭を使うガードゲームです。

### 1/5 — Обновление ухудшило игру.

*2026-07-10*

Не работает режим Классика:колода.

### 3/5 — Von allem zu viel

*2026-07-10*

Ich habe den Vorgänger und andere Rauers-Spiele sehr gerne gespielt. Aber in Card Crawl 2: Von allem zu viel. Zu viele Modi, Erfolge, Variationen, Monetarisierungsstrategien und leider auch Bugs. Ich habe zuletzt keinen Überblick mehr gehabt, wo ich im Spiel stehe.

### 5/5 — 攻略についての質問

*2026-07-08*

死神ディールの勝ち方が本当にわからなくて困ってます。どのヒーロー、どの布陣でやればいいのか。勝てている方いましたら教えていただけると本当に喜びます。
このゲームは本当に面白いです！！もっと流行って攻略をシェアしてくれる人が増えたらいいな…。
