### 4/5 — Good

*2026-05-17, version 5.2*

Good

### 4/5 — Settings

*2025-10-08, version 5.2*

Fun game, a lot bigger then you’d expect for a free game. Sadly I don’t seem to be able to mute the game. There isn’t any settings built into the game. Pease add a setting tab.. I’d like to mute the gameplay sounds and the music..

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-09-19, version 5.2*

Dreamed of this exact game and finally found it. Casual game with good strategy. I hope this game gets updated regularly!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-09-14, version 5.2*

Reminds me of Slay the Spire but simplified visually, which I love so much. The graphics are so charming. I like how clean everything is- nothing is too busy or flashy. I played for over an hour after first downloading. Definitely have already recommended this game to some friends :)

### 5/5 — Супер

*2025-09-02, version 5.2*

Игра огонь, скачав ее, я не пожалела ни капли. Только обидно что на фее и демоне остановилась, не смогла их пройти. Но все равно очень советую)

### 5/5 — Engaging and fun

*2025-08-14, version 5.2*

Easy to learn, complex enough to be interesting

### 5/5 — Love it!!!

*2025-08-11, version 5.2*

Love the old school dungeon crawler feel and nostalgic graphics, plus the battle system with cards

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-08-03, version 5.1*

Love it

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2025-07-27, version 5.1*

Wish I had tried this sooner

### 4/5 — Cooles spiel

*2025-07-27, version 5.1*

Ich mag das konzept von dem spiel und es ist tatsächlich einer der einzigen runden basierten rpg games die mir wirklich spaß machen. Allerdings bin ich der meinung dass die engel einfach zu früh kommen. vielleicht mach ich auch was falsch, aber als level 4 crusader hat man da einfach absolut keine chance, wenn jede runde neue dämonen beschwört werden

### 5/5 — Legit fun rogue like battler

*2025-07-10, version 5.1*

Was skeptical of the free download, and I’m only into the first dungeon (+tutorial), but this game is a good time.

### 4/5 — Good game!

*2025-06-11, version 5.1*

I enjoy playing it but I wish there were a few more features and some depth. The UI could also be improved but all in all the loop and the rng are solid.

### 5/5 — Fun Game

*2025-06-10, version 5.0*

Worth a download

### 5/5 — Underrated???

*2025-06-01, version 4.6*

Holy underrated I hate how unpopular this is

### 4/5 — Where’s the volume settings

*2025-05-12, version 4.6*

I can’t find any settings so if I’m wrong, can someone please help me find them because I cannot

### 5/5 — Very fun game with delightful graphics

*2025-03-19, version 4.6*

This game is super fun! I downloaded it on a whim and love everything about it, from the art style to the game play it’s very enjoyable and I highly recommend it!

### 5/5 — Fun and Simple

*2025-02-18, version 4.6*

This is a great game to relax or pass the time. Nothing complicated. No vip sign ups! No daily challenges. Just simple old school dungeon crawling that is enjoyable!!

### 5/5 — не ожидал

*2025-02-02, version 4.6*

Игра супер, донат абсолютно не обязателен, без него даже куда интереснее (перед тем как открыть нового персонажа, выполни квест), единственное, чего мне не хватило, это больше уровней, когда начинаешь понимать суть игры, становится достаточно легко дойти до 7 этажа, а так просто космос, жаль, что так мало отзывов и людей, увидевших сие творение

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Irritating

*2023-05-07, version 4.6*

This game is addicting but annoying as a toddler with drums on New Years morning after a night of partying. It’s extremely hard to progress. I make it to the ****ing angle and demon to get wiped. I thought “drop 2.99” to unlock characters after getting mad in hopes I can progress… nope same results. It’s fun but I don’t think it has longevity of play.

### 1/5 — No Voice over support

*2021-02-15, version 4.5*

Unfortunately the game is inaccessible to blind people who use Voice Over. Can you please improve accessibility? We are very much interested in this. Best regards, Blind people.

### 1/5 — 별로

*2021-01-30*

캐릭터 다른건 결제해야함

### 1/5 — **yawn**

*2019-06-14, version 3.2*

Uninspiring game play,hardly any animation. Plays like taking a dump in slow motion.  Most enemies require more hits than you can spare if you want to play a shield card. Let’s you get so far then the unfairness begins.  Deleted.  !!!  One star.

### 2/5 — Unbalanced

*2024-06-12, version 4.6*

This game is so unbalanced for example the devil is so op it can spawn in another devil at the start of its turn and the devil that was spawned in can also spawn in a devil at the start of its turn like WHAT🤦‍♂️ on top of that there getting buffed by the fairy HOW IS THAT FAIR you can’t beat them unless you have a ability that can target AND one shoot them all at ones… this game is fun but the monsters are too strong 

Another one is the spiders… plz don’t make me get started in those😰🤦‍♂️

### 2/5 — Too difficult

*2023-10-02, version 4.6*

There needs to be an easier mode. Got tired of dying after 5 minutes so uninstalled the game.

### 2/5 — What a bummer don’t play

*2023-08-17, version 4.6*

So I get to the tenth floor and the red armored knight and nothing is even happening. We don’t fight it just follows me and blocks me from moving certain directions entirely

### 2/5 — No landscape?

*2023-06-28, version 4.6*

Why do you have images in the App Store in landscape but you don’t offer it for larger devices? I love card games, and would change this rating immediately if this gets implemented. It’s a simple option in swift to support auto rotation, then a lock rotation option in settings would go the extra mile.

### 2/5 — Devil angel can eat my ***

*2023-02-15, version 4.6*

There is NOTHING I have tried to do to beat the devil angel fight it’s irritating the **** out of me lost the fun just frustrating now

### 2/5 — Leaderboards not working

*2022-12-09, version 4.6*

Why have the high scores leaderboards stopped working?

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — amazing

*2026-08-15, version 5.2*

beautiful tun game it takes a while to love it but it’s awesome

### 5/5 — Cool

*2026-08-03, version 5.2*

Cool so far

### 5/5 — Beast roguelike deck builder on the app

*2026-04-12, version 5.2*

10/10

### 5/5 — Super sick!i!

*2026-02-08, version 5.2*

Absolutely have to have this if you are a liver of “dungeon crawlers” “deck building” or “rougue like” games

### 5/5 — Как в старые добрые времена, супер!

*2026-01-14, version 5.2*

Игра супер! 5 звезд! Но, если улучшать, то (1) добавьте, пожалуйста, русский язык, (2) перераспределите баланс карт при игре уже с 2 красными черепами, так как яды и огонь просто бесполезны, (3) при увеличении уровня сложности лучше добавить больше уровней подземелья вместо всего 10, (4) добавить возможность выбора / смены навыков в алтарях

### 5/5 — Cool game

*2025-12-31, version 5.2*

This game is quite entertaining, i like the pace and the setting too
5 star!

### 5/5 — Similar to slay the spire

*2025-12-08*

Do you like slay the spire? Well imagine that in a dungeon, its very fun even if it’s simple

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-11-18, version 5.2*

Gameplay loop is simple enough and engaging. My only question to the devs would be - Is the red knight a paid enemy? He just kinda runs at you and says you won and it’s a bit confusing lol.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly fun

*2025-10-24, version 5.2*

Exactly that

### 5/5 — I Recommend this to Friends

*2025-10-10, version 5.2*

The systems are simple, so it’s easy for newcomers. There’s a surprising amount of build depth, like raw damage, shields, poison, and even one guy can build bows. And the unlock system gives you reason to keep playing. Great game.
