Hey, I am someone who’s blind, I thought your game was accessible, is there anyway you’d be willing to make the game accessible.

5 stars all the way

Well… maybe not the art but it grows on you too ha! I have to periodically delete this game because I can’t stop playing and I need to sleep and work, etc… but I come back a couple times a year- 1. because it’s an excellent rogue dungeon crawl rpg but also 2. because there just aren’t a lot of games of this caliber available. I’m switching between balatro, hearts, and dream quest most of the time I need a game break. Well worth the price and your time. Try not to rage quit when you die - you’ll have to get past a couple humps before you level your skills. Try kitten a couple times then take on the harder challenges - then feel like demi god on professor mode

Could be more balanced

If I remember correctly, this game either invented the roguelike deckbuilder genre or was one of the very first. I appreciate its place in history and can see why it was so revolutionary. It provided several hours of addictive fun. Unfortunately it suffers from two major flaws: it gets repetitive over time due to the limited number of cards, and there are too many “take that, you’re dead and there’s nothing you can do about it” moments.

My favourite iOS game ever

Don’t worry about the graphics. The design of this game is incredible, I like it so much more than slay the spire which copied this game greatly but then made some parts worse. Dream quest is less fiddly and in particular takes less time to play through the early easy game where choices in battle don’t matter as much. I’ll be so sad if this game ever disappears from the App Store; it’s the only game I play.

Fun but ruthlessly hard

I know how rouges work, but I feel like there should be more difficulty levels to spread things out. There’s some battles you get annihilated on that should be straight forward wins.

due for update

hey peter, i been waiting since before the pandemic for the update. and ill never stop waiting

Brilliant Game

No update in 7 years, runs like a charm. Still one of the best games available on iOS. No gambling influenced in-game economy with in-app purchases; just addictive and creative gameplay. Part card game, board game, dungeon crawl rpg, and puzzle game all in one. Unique and satisfying. (Yes, there is an in-game economy but you cannot spend real money.)

My Favorite Game of All Time

If you like Slay the Spire, meet its inspiration.

Must buy

So much fun, especially on a long plane ride. Would recommend to anyone for a good strategy dungeon game.

Amazing

I play a LOT or roguelike/card battler type games and this is one of my favorites. It has been one of a few games I bother to keep installed on my phone for years

Best ios game I got and I have a lot of games!

Been playing games since Atari and was a magic the gathering nerd. I buy more games than have time to play. This is my favorite game period and then slay the spire soon after. Probably have over 1k hours of play on this as well as on Steam. More you play and learn what cards work rite and unlock them it opens the game up. This game is all strategy with a little luck in deck building. You have to have a good brain to get good at this one. The boss and elite fights can be hectic. But as long as you figure out and know what cards work best you can eventually succeed!

Please make a dream quest 2!

My most played game, and I’ve had this game for years and still play it daily. So much fun and challenging.

Best Rogue-like Deck Builder!

Honestly I haven’t been able to put my phone down since installing the game! Slay the Spire was definitely inspired by this game.
Once you get past the charming art style the mechanics are amazing!

Overrated and Frustrating

This a cute but undercooked game jam kind of jam that feels more like a proof of concept than a finished product. I don't mind the graphics, but the game has a serious problem with perceivable consequence. It just does a very poor job of conveying WHY something is happening and what (if anything) the player could have done to prevent it- you'll be doing great, then 2 or 3 rounds in a row you'll just start your turn with no cards in your hand and there'll be absolutely nothing you can do about it except let the enemy pick your health down to nothing. Game over.

The incremental progress from the countless unlocks (I swear I've never even seen some of the cards I've supposedly unlocked) begins to feel like nothing as you bash your head against the random number generator just hoping the next ~40 minutes won't turn out to be a complete waste of time, because (for instance) the dungeon just didn't spawn any healing locations on your side of an elite enemy that's 2 levels higher than you.

There' an easy mode, but I can hardly see the point because playing it locks you out of any kind of achievement or progress and still puts you in unwinnable situations.

I have to respect what the designer did here, but it just needs SO MUCH work in terms of not randomly sticking players into unwinnable situations when they've nothing wrong that I just can't see myself recommending it to anybody. It's just not fun or rewarding to play. This game's 4.6 star rating is utterly baffling to me. Maybe an older version had some feature that's now missing that mitigated the game's problems? Or maybe it just feels a lot worse when you play it after later deck-building roguelites that iterated on the concept? I honestly have no idea. Buying this game is functionally paying money to have a program waste a ton of your time making you slightly annoyed.

So many hours of play…

This game is proof that anyone with a copy of unity, MS Paint, and a dream can create one of the best cars roguelikes ever made.

The UI isn’t great at times, and the visuals are trying their best. But it’s a deep game with incredible variety of play.

Oof

I loved slay the spire, I was told to play this game. I gave it a shot for a few hours and it was utterly disappointing. Complete waste of time for me. I can definitely see where Slay the spire got some of its influence. But this? God awful game. This game appears to be quite heavily luck based instead of skill. There’s little point in even saving cards for use later. Complete slog. Press play all press hourglass rinse wash repeat. An idle clicker game has more depth than this.

Really needs an update for modern phones.

The 4:3 aspect ratio is rotated into landscape on modern iPhones. The whole UI needs a big update to fit modern devices. It’s not even the graphics that need updating, which would be incredible, it’s just the antiquated layout more suited to older devices.

Your experience may be better on an iPad.

The UI even has the clock and icon bar at the top of the screen rotated 90 degrees.

One of the best mobile games

It’s a bold statement, yes it is. I fully believe that it is. I’ve owned this game for many years, and while it’s not updated (besides to update functionality), I still enjoy coming back to it now and then. It’s a challenging game but one I’m sure would blow up if it had a bit of attention.

If you read this Dev, awesome job and thank you. Updates would be awesome

Surprisingly Very Fun!

I was skeptical at first but decided to give it a try. Glad I did! One of my favorite purchases now!

So good

People see the graphics and move on but this game is frickin awesome. If you like rogue-like deck builders, this game deserves a lot of love!
