### 3/5 — Random crashes

*2026-02-25, version 1.3.13*

Love the game and play it daily. The part that frustrates me is that a few times, when I had the best run, the game would crash when returning to the main screen. No saved progress.

On the latest update available at the time when writing this review.

### 4/5 — Арле

*2026-02-04, version 1.3.9*

Арле єбло тупе не вірьте йому виптягує інфу

### 4/5 — Crash

*2026-01-14, version 1.3.9*

It’s a great game but lately it’s been showing me an error code and crashing

### 2/5 — Keine Chance

*2026-01-11, version 1.3.9*

Habe es paar Stunden getestet. An sich macht es seht viel Spaß und ich hätte auch die Vollversion gekauft aber leider enden die Runden immer so, dass man vom "Zufall"ssystem zum Schluss immer ein dermaßen fieses Deck aufgestellt bekommt, dass man nur verlieren kann. Das haben auch andere bemängelt und es ist wirklich frustrierend.

### 5/5 — 好玩的卡牌遊戲

*2025-11-26, version 1.3.9*

因為卡牌間的互動關係比較複雜，起初會覺得玩起來很頭痛，但時間久了之後玩起來就會很順了！
真的是非常好玩的卡牌遊戲😆

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2025-11-04, version 1.3.9*

Challenging but it won’t melt your brain with an overwhelming amount of rules. You can pick it right up and start playing. The asthetic is cool as well.

### 2/5 — It was great some time ago

*2025-10-23, version 1.3.9*

It was soo good, but now it lags so bad. I’ve got an Iphone 15, It lags when you open it and closes itself. 
Sometimes the game remains open but as soon as you check the Guildmaster it closes itself again

### 5/5 — Cool, underrated

*2025-10-21, version 1.3.9*

This game is literally me

### 3/5 — Так себе

*2025-10-17*

Очень кривые механики, нелогичные или багованные. За русский языки+1 звезда, но толку от него мало, если нефига не работает.

### 5/5 — fun and unique stealth mechanics

*2025-10-16, version 1.3.9*

seriously the most fun stealth game I have ever played, easy to pick up and learn, i just wish you'd add more enemies or traps to deal with and more equipment to try out and maybe even give us a level that has a 4x4 layout rather than the 3x3 because it sometimes gets cramped

I do understand that the cramped-ness is on purpose but it gets to a point where you sometimes get essentially checkmated after gambling on what the next cards are gonna be from the castle deck and you get sandwiched in

### 5/5 — Cooles Konzept

*2025-10-14, version 1.3.9*

Artwork super, bin gespannt was noch so alles rauskommt.

### 4/5 — I ❤️ this masterpiece

*2025-10-11*

The characters react is so laughable 😂 also the achieved cards 🃏 are so good

### 5/5 — Would recommend 💫

*2025-09-24, version 1.3.9*

Graphics are good, gameplay is strategic and interesting, tho it can get repetitive. But definitely try this at least once!

### 5/5 — Very fun for offline gaming

*2025-09-01, version 1.3.8*

Works just fine, you make very good games. I’ll definitely be trying out your other games

### 1/5 — Bugs all over the Game

*2026-08-09, version 1.3.14*

The Game itself is good, fun to play but everything is so slow and the most annoying thing is that the game is literally crashing all the time. You win a game - it crashes, you click on something- it crashes. So annoying it ruins the whole experience. BTW it’s the same problem at card brawl…. Would be fantastic if you could fix that, Cheers

### 1/5 — Won’t load

*2026-07-04, version 1.3.14*

The game won’t load

### 1/5 — Reviews are all AI generated and fake. Game is horrible.

*2026-04-20, version 1.3.14*

All reviews auto context to “stealth game” because that’s what’s mentioned. But it’s not stealth at all. It’s a ridiculous choose the low number game.  Excessively boring and full of AI slop.

### 1/5 — Will Not Open

*2026-01-25, version 1.3.9*

Was never able to initialize game.  Unable to play.

### 1/5 — Error Domain

*2026-01-19, version 1.3.9*

The game is not starting…

### 1/5 — Nicht mehr zu öffnen

*2025-11-08, version 1.3.9*

Plötzlich kann ich das Spiel nicht mehr öffnen . Fehlermeldung: "The requested operation could not be completed because local player has not been authenticated "  
Vorher war's aber n tolles Spiel-3 - 4 Sterne wert aber so it's es unbrauchbar

### 1/5 — Not work

*2025-08-06, version 1.3.8*

Not work

### 1/5 — Нет русского языка

*2025-04-06*

Уроды моральные игре 5 лет добавьте русский

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2025-02-08, version 1.3.8*

Won’t transition past tutorial.

### 1/5 — CRASH ALL THE TIME!!!

### 5/5 — ……

*2026-07-04, version 1.3.14*

this game is so complicated but it’s soooooo good. thing wrong i have no idea how to get the tokens to move on to the next level. y’all probably know soooooooo how do you get those tokens or coins.

### 5/5 — Well done

*2026-07-01, version 1.3.14*

The art is beautiful. I love the aesthetic design for the menu; it really adds to the feeling of being in a thief guild. The mechanics are brilliant, and the emergent strategies that lead to greater success within the game feel thematically relevant.

### 5/5 — Superbly Built

*2026-06-15, version 1.3.14*

Love it

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-04-07, version 1.3.14*

Just give it a go, it’s really fun

### 5/5 — Игра класс, можно было бы и доразвить

*2026-02-21*

Игра супер, жаль только, что не развивается, непонятно зачем краденые сокровища нужны, нельза персонажа менять, хоть и есть контракты интересные, но не все можно поиграть, было бы интереснее, если бы за награбленное можно было бы персов покупать и улучшать

### 5/5 — To obcecada!!!

*2026-02-09*

Simplesmente viciante, a arte é maravilhosa, tudo perfeito.

### 5/5 — BEAUTIFUL!

*2026-02-06, version 1.3.9*

Just what games should look and feel like. I love it, thank you

### 5/5 — BEST GAME OH MY GOD

*2026-01-30, version 1.3.9*

I am SHOCKED I haven’t found a game like this in my entire life, this is what I wanted all the time! A easy to pick up, simple but sometimes challenging while still fun stratagy game! This is best for anything, no ads, no boredem!

### 5/5 — สนุกจริง

*2026-01-24, version 1.3.9*

ตอนแรกงงกฎ แต่พอเข้าใจแล้วติดเลย

### 5/5 — Addicting

*2026-01-13, version 1.3.9*
