Love it!!!

I played MTG and this gives me a similar play game play without having to constantly sink more money into it and offers a wide variety of strategies and loads of fun for way cheaper.

你好我是中国玩家 能把中文的翻译更新一下吗有好多地方都是英文

团队们你们好我是来自大洋彼岸的中国玩家 真的太喜欢你们这款游戏了 我是一名后天失明的玩家没想到看不见之后还能玩到如此精美的卡牌游戏 感谢作者们对无障碍做出的贡献 但是有一点就是这个中文的翻译真的很不齐全 很多地方都是英文看不懂而且有的中文翻译太过于生硬 希望团队能再把中文优化一下或者有看到此条评论的中国玩家可以把自己的翻译条目提供给开发者 感谢各位的付出谢谢 希望你们越做越好加油

Awesome game with lack of some minor adjustments

This game is truly amazing, and it has kept me entertained for hours. The variety of cards and the way RPG elements are combined with the roguelike genre is a fantastic idea. I’m genuinely looking forward to more content.It would also be great if you could add more free content in the future. However, I feel that a few elements are still missing. In my opinion, the biggest one is a minimap or some kind of map. Without one, it can be quite confusing, and it’s difficult to get a sense of which part of each region you’re currently in. Maybe other players feel the same way. I would really appreciate it if the development team could consider addressing this issue. Thank you!

Constantly freezing during Sunforge

I don’t want to have to join Discord to submit a bug. The game is freezing during Sunforge runs after new update/ content.

Top 5 mobile game

I used to play Hearthstone and MTG, but got tired of throwing money at it, having to mostly play online, etc. I wanted a solid deck builder and stumbled on Dawncaster a few months ago. I probably have sunk 200 hours in by this point while waiting here and there. No need for connectivity. The gameplay loop itself is pretty good and you can have a lot of fun figuring out which classes work best for what, and subtypes of those classes. Crazy card combinations about. All in all, one of my top 5 mobile games of all time!
