Really good game, just hasn’t been updated in 3 years ### 3/5 — Hi *2023-06-18, version 3.5.52* Your mom liked this game so I downloaded it just to be flashed with 25 card packs…!?!?! Stop being nice to me game… ### 2/5 — Mentiroso *2023-06-13, version 3.5.52* Claims to offer 25 languages, but the game is only available in English. Fun, but false advertising brings it down to 2 stars for me. I specifically look for games in other languages so I can practice languages. ### 4/5 — Why not 5 *2023-02-22, version 3.5.52* Been playing for awhile and I love the game I just wish there was more cards coming out I know it’s an older game but I feel there’s still a lot of players ### 4/5 — Fantastic gameplay but deck building is a nightmare *2022-12-21, version 3.5.52* Let me organize them by newest card recieved! ### 3/5 — Balance it *2022-09-17, version 3.5.52* Needs balancing. Like really really bad Some factions are straight up unplayable ### 5/5 — 2nd Best Game EVER *2022-05-04, version 3.5.52* I remember playing snake game on my phone one day then the next good game was cards and castle’s. I have been playing for what seems like a decade. I remember when you started with castles on the map!! Or did I dream that? But please bring that back!! Honesty I can play this game almost any time of day. I have taken breaks for a week or a month but I always come back. I do miss getting new cards. I even miss when they would update the current decks. Finding how the updates changed the game play…. O the good days I still play almost every day and try almost every other mobile game, but I always come back to CnC ### 5/5 — pog champ *2022-04-18, version 3.5.52* nice game very cool hop on fort ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-04-01, version 3.5.52* The only thing I wish is for a panda with a gun ### 5/5 — One of the best on mobile!!! *2022-02-16, version 3.5.52* Honestly great game!! ### 4/5 — We would appreciate an update <3 *2022-01-12, version 3.5.52* Will there ever be an update???? Fun game but getting repetitive ### 5/5 — Cards and castles *2021-11-30, version 3.5.52* Amazing fun strategic game there is a practice for well practice there are places to build decks craft decks and open decks!and that’s my review. Have fun playin see you in there! ### 5/5 — I Need More *2021-07-23, version 3.5.52* This Game Is so addictive! I would appreciate more content. Maybe a new faction or something? Considering the last update was in 2019 the developers haven’t touched this game in a while. Despite all that, I enjoy the game and play it daily. ### 5/5 — Hilariously unbalenced *2021-07-11, version 3.5.52* Some cards are objectively better versions of others and some have effects that decide the entire game alone. There’s also interface issues. Like why would you make the way you play a card the same way people on this platform exit the game? It’s also pay to win. Without all the cards for your deck you will lose. And you get hardly anything for losing. So basically you win to get cards but you need cards to win. :P ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The game sucks *2023-10-18, version 3.5.52* It’s literally Pat to win I just started and literally can’t do anything when I get out up against some who can literally one tap every one of my cards is sick ### 1/5 — This used to be fun *2023-02-10, version 3.5.52* This game was fun until they added all this new crap cards that are too powerful for this type of game ### 1/5 — ， *2022-04-06, version 3.5.52* How to setting Chinese? ### 1/5 — Hard *2021-11-19, version 3.5.52* It is to hard for a non-game player to learn quick enough to win any battles. Boring to loose every time you play. I loose even in practice. No fun. ### 1/5 — Whole game is just summon spam cards *2021-07-20, version 3.5.52* Long time beta tester with many hours played.. the game is f2p with all these cool archetype cards but none matter because only the summon 1-2 extra cards every turn is the way to go 3 years ago and today.. uninstalled for good ### 1/5 — Gliches *2021-03-12, version 3.5.52* Game has so many glitches it makes me so annoyed ### 1/5 — Great concept ruined by time *2020-10-21, version 3.5.52* It’s a great game in concept. A mixture of ccg and chess. However the devs built their profit model on selling card packs, and that went exactly where you would expect. Quit playing the first time because as I got up in ranks I just ran into the same few paid decks over and over again, as the devs kept releasing synergy cards and op units that made base decks worthless. Came back to give it a try and found it’s now just a competition between different types of trick decks. No strategy at all, it’s just about buying or grinding the right set of cards to insta win. ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-08-19, version 3.5.52* Extremely bad and a waste of your time, DO.NOT.BUY! ### 1/5 — Poorly supported *2019-11-04, version 3.5.51* Last update was 10 months ago. When they bring out “new” cards it’s mostly the exact same artwork with new stats. Rules are unclear and will affect your decisions in matches only to find your move was the wrong one, not based on bad strategy, but unclear explanations on the cards ### 1/5 — Updates erase stuff, and no asynchronous *2019-07-20* My family and I used to play asynchronous multiplayer together. It was a way for us to connect even though our schedules were different... now that’s gone, and it’s really annoying. Additionally, many of the updates removed cards we had paid for... its borderline criminal actually. This dev needs to shape up. I loved this game but I deleted it months ago Bc of how horrible the dev treated customers. Also, no offline is a problem to me too. There should at least be an option. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cards and castles 2 on mobile???? *2023-09-18, version 3.5.52* I have played this game for a few years now and was wondering if 2 is ever coming to mobile? ### 5/5 — Honestly couldn’t ask for a better way to waste time *2023-06-26* This game is one of the best I’ve played in years. Not only does it implement fun gameplay, but it also makes you think, instead of mindlessly clicking on your screen for no reason. Can’t wait for the second one. ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-04-23, version 3.5.52* Awesome goofy ish cartoony graphics with a great core gameplay mechanic ### 5/5 — Fun *2023-02-12, version 3.5.52* Far better than CnC2 ### 5/5 — Top tear game *2022-10-22, version 3.5.52* One problem tho is it’s a bit difficult to make a good deck at first but that might just be me tho but you still learn from every match and it’s gameplay is super great ### 5/5 — Hidden gem of the AppStore *2022-08-15, version 3.5.52* This is my favorite phone game of all time, and to the dev team I know y’all are busy with the 2nd game but don’t forget about this game I love yall ### 5/5 — Awsome game *2022-08-12, version 3.5.52* I dont write reviews for many games but this is amazing. The animations of the charectars is exellent, the strategies of how to win get more complex, its so playable!! It would be nice to see more cards n charectars if the creators of the game could bring out a couple of new colours n tribes so that there was more playability but i love it, thankyou for releasing the game!! 🤩👍 ### 5/5 — Play this game!! Please make another!! *2022-07-12, version 3.5.52* I’ve played this game more than any other on my phone, favorite of all time. ### 5/5 — Update the game *2022-06-27, version 3.5.52* Please update the game it’s fun and all it can just get boring whenever you run out of quests and then you have no point to stay on. ### 5/5 — I spend to much money *2022-06-05, version 3.5.52* God I love this game I get obsessed every so often on a game or hobbie and this month has been cards and castles it’s like magic but easier to pick up granted I spend money like a MF on here.
