### 5/5 — Fun take on a classic

*2026-04-05, version 1.1.23*

I really like this game! It’s a ‘re-do’ (with the original programmer’s permission) of Dungeon Solitaire. For me, it’s the perfect time killer while standing in line, or just grab a quick game… Hopefully more expansions are coming soon?

### 1/5 — Incomplete game

*2025-03-06, version 1.1.23*

Its been a few years and the expansion packs are still not out even though many of us have bought them

### 4/5 — Wanting the last expansion packs…

*2023-08-14*

It’s a bread dungeon card game, I bought the “all included” package but still waiting for the post “raid on dragons keep” expansion packs.

**Developer response:** Raid on Dragonkeep is the only expansion in Phase 3. The others are planned for future.

### 5/5 — Fantastic game, great developer

*2023-06-29, version 1.1.23*

I randomly found this game by searching online for solo card games that are easy to learn but have enough depth to stay interesting, without being over-complicated. I’m a casual gamer but I like some challenge. 

This app is well done in all respects. Super intuitive UI, great tutorial and reference materials if needed, cool design, easy to read and navigate, small file size, good on battery, and saves progress at all times so you can jump in and out anytime you have a quick break. 

Best of all, no ads at all, and the optional IAP are for expansions, and they are totally affordable. Once I get a handle on the standard game, I’ll buy something to support the developer. I’m also going to look at his other games. 

Thank you developer for doing everything right! The good guys who do good games and monetize fairly are so rare nowadays. I really, really appreciate you offering this game the way you have. I wish it great success!

### 5/5 — All about the Delve

*2023-02-20, version 1.1.23*

The Delve option with right combo of cards is super intense.  Made it to level 27 twice.  Can you do better?

### 4/5 — Good game but unbalanced

*2023-02-12, version 1.1.23*

The invisible hand you play against- monster cards- is overpowered. Unless you pick just the right expansions and on “easy level” you are against an foe with too high of stats.

**Developer response:** Raid on Dragonkeep is the only expansion in Phase 3. The others are planned for future.

### 2/5 — This is an exact copy of a game made

*2022-12-24, version 1.1.23*

Prior and stopped supporting it now being charged all over after paying for all the expansions already. 2 because the game is good and I missed it -3 for double charging for something that was bought 4 years back. Sketchy very sketchy

### 5/5 — Awesome Game

*2022-11-22, version 1.1.23*

Great combo of card-games and dungeon crawling games, with fun competitive dynamics that allow you to compete against other players for The Dungeon Lord title. The developer’s humor in the game makes it a lot more fun. Hilarious commentary after each game and very addictive.

### 1/5 — Lame

*2022-10-17, version 1.1.23*

We’ll, I made it through the tutorial and one “battle” before deleting. More than it deserved

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2022-09-09, version 1.1.23*

Thank you for making this project. The simple rules and modifiers gain surprising depth and replay value. There are no ads. [Edit]  I enjoy using this app  while listing to music and the dev was quick to answer any questions. 5 stars for sure.
