Glitchy

I found the game a bit boring to begin with. Just tried to continue my play through and was dropped into 2-1 with no monsters and no way to continue. Choosing restart trashed my game and put me back at 1-1.

Not Enough Cards

Can only take or discard cards should be able to keep some of the cards you find as in some games you get a lot of monsters and get no weapon cards. Can not save game or re-spawn just start again a bit crap. The game could be a really good game if it was more balanced and give you a better chance to progress in the game instead of making it boring having to keep re-starting every time you get killed off maybe introduce a three lives and you are out system to make it more interesting, needs more work.

Last update three years ago.

Devs stopped working on the iOS version (Pc) has always been better, but it is very pay to win. And not very fun.

FAQ

What kind of game is Card Dungeon?

Card Dungeon is a unique turn-based strategy roguelike game that blends elements of board games and card games. You control a Crusader, exploring dungeons, battling monsters, and making strategic decisions with a hand of cards that determine your abilities and class.

How does the card system work?

At the start of the game, you are dealt three cards used for attacks, defense, magic, and more. As you defeat monsters or open chests, you can discover new cards and choose whether to keep them or swap them with your current hand. The cards you collect and equip define your Crusader's class and abilities for each playthrough.

Is Card Dungeon free to play or does it have in-app purchases?

Card Dungeon is a premium game that you purchase once to get the full experience. It does not have any in-app purchases or in-game advertisements, ensuring an uninterrupted gameplay experience.

What devices is Card Dungeon compatible with?

The game is compatible with iPhone 4S and newer, iPad 2 and newer, iPad mini, and the fifth-generation iPod touch. It is designed to run on a range of Apple mobile devices.

What makes each playthrough unique?

Each play through is genuinely unique due to the combination of randomly generated levels, hand-placed creatures, and the dynamic card system. The cards you discover and equip allow you to transition between different playstyles, such as a warrior, wizard, or rogue, leading to dozens of possible character builds and strategies.
