All progress gone

I was in the 30s, first try in the second? Major boss. Opened the app, everything is gone. Back to the tutorial and all progress gone. Ouch.

I just want more!

I love love love this game! The gameplay is addicting and the daily challenges offer a nice bit of extra depth for long term players, I almost just wish there was more! Also I completed the game without equipping a single card of darkness my second time around so I’d say once you get a feel for this game nothing is particularly impossible or unfair. I keep saying this but I just want more! There’s not much to do once you’re done. There’s no infinite mode or anything, just the daily challenge, which gets a bit boring when you want to play play play haha. Can’t wait to see what else this team makes!

잘 만든 게임

난이도가 꽤나 있는게임
요일던전 올클리어 다 하고나면 나오는 프레스티지(?) 던전까지 너무 어렵..

Meh

Has some fun mechanics but is almost illogically difficult at times, simply based on how the cards are assorted. It requires you to keep plugging away at levels until you get lucky and the cards let you through. That kind of takes the wind out of any strategy. The tokens that let you buy weapons or potions are largely worthless, I always end up with something worth 2 or 3 points, which rarely make a difference.

Buggy

I wanted so much to love this game. It's fun, love the graphics, play can be really challenging, but the end comes too soon--it took me a mere 53 levels to reach the end, which in light of the worst flaw is a miracle. Because the game randomly freezes up. I've played it for a few years, and the freeze is recurrent. I delete it, reload, and it reloads still frozen! I start over with a new game, and the same thing eventually happens again. Nope. Unforgivable. I'm out. This time, for good.

Simply wow

Extremely Easy to underestimate this game. It doesn't look impressive at first, but as soon as the fast and quick tutorial (less than a minute) is done, the fun and puzzle solving enjoyment kicks in.

Pro:
-Little to no story (But if you look around there is some context...)
-No useless and tenuous tutorial
-Fast and quick gameplay, 1 mins is enough to try a level
-Mind game, some random is there, but puzzle solving has a bigger impact.
-Easy to learn, but very difficult early on (A big big plus these days, no time wasted).

Cons:
-Maybe... but only maybe a greater scheme like a house building with loot gathered

I wish i had tried it earlier, a wonderfull game, continue your excellent work!

Issues

Fun but VERY buggy.

Beaucoup trop aléatoire

Je ne peux pas mettre plus que 2 à ça. Le jeu est bien sur le principe, et je me suis bien amusé pendant les premières heures, mais c’est le genre de jeu dans lequel, si le jeu n’a pas décidé que vous alliez gagner, c’est perdu d’avance. Y’a beaucoup, beaucoup de trop de RNG ça en devient frustrant

Purposely unfair

So I’m guessing it’s not as much an adventure game as a survival game because you will most likely almost die on every stage at least once. It’s a health management game. Weapons are extremely limited and there are tons of enemies. This game is just a “pray to the RNG gods game” and that’s fine but that’s what makes it just an ok game.

Doesn’t work

I’ve had this game for a while. It used to be good but crashes constantly. Also, the cards don’t work. For example, the weapon that is not supposed to mark piles, marks them every time. Curses that are supposed to last one floor, last the entire dungeon. Card of ease doesn’t work at all. Maybe it’s supposed to be a joke.

Love it Wish there were more levels

I have finished the game and gone back to get all the stars for each level, now I just do the daily challenge. I really wish there would be additional levels added. I’d download (even pay $) them no questions asked!

Great concept, buggy

I really like the game play, the addition of a daily challenge system is great, and the game is super buggy, I would expect better from an Apple Arcade game, please fix bugs. It’s really frustrating to make great progress on a star and then have weapons not work the way they are supposed to, or have the game become unresponsive.

On the fence

I really enjoy this game, it’s an awesome concept, and I find myself getting lost in playing until I get reminded how insufferable the RNG is in this game. You could be planning ahead perfectly. But the RNG will just screw you over. Makes me want to not even come back to the game.

Рандом

Обычно в таких играх нужно продумывать стратегию, но тут остается только полагаться на удачу.

Top 3 for me!

Like many players, I found the game to be difficult at times, but then again, the difficulty is proportionate to one’s wits and the luck of the draw. Ultimately delightful!
One problem I’m encountering is the infrequency of certain cards’ mechanics. Sometimes they follow their descriptions, sometimes not. It’s somewhat frustrating to deal with is when the main metric of scoring the daily challenge is by accumulating coins. One other bug I’ve encountered is when the game freezes, but the animations continue. Closing the app and opening it again fixes the second problem, but not the first.
Otherwise, this game is in my top three favorites! I’ve enjoyed it thoroughly and it’s a daily go-to game for me. Thanks so much!

Great potential

This game should be astonishingly fun as I love card games like this. I also welcome a challenge even if it’s not to the same extent of Slay the Spire.

My sole gripe early on is the tutorial. It tells you next to nothing beyond simply saying “tap here” without saying why you need to. For a game that seems to have a fair bit of complexity you’d expect a tutorial would at least tell you the core gameplay mechanics, but it does not.

3 Stars alone for Presentation

The art and sound design in this game is excellent. I’d genuinely recommend playing it alone for that if you enjoy cartoony psychedelic-type media.

The game itself is very hit-or-miss. I’ve seen other developers try to make a puzzle-centric rpg game, and they often fall flat. This game is wildly swingy, and winning or losing very often didn’t feel like much of a skill-based deal, even as I’m close to the end of the game.

The upgrades are even more hit or miss. About 40% of them are highly situational and useless. There’s a lot that basically except you to go into a level to see it’s content before you can even reasonably expect to use the highly situational cards. It leaves the game feeling very underwhelming and un-polished.

I’m a dolt

I was duped into giving this a perfect score. How could I be so hoodwink-able? Joking. Game’s great. Really charming and tough. You have to carefully consider each move to survive.
