It’s strategic and also adds social deduction and the ability to work for or against players and the payout system is really cool with you splitting the prize amongst players. However the game needs to be wayyyyy easier to process and understand. The tutorial is lacking hard, if it doesn’t glitch out it doesn’t explain things clearly so that is automatically a huge turn off to players. I didn’t even know I could buy units on other peoples turns. The game also seems to suffer from bots tho idk if that’s because I’m still new. They say the exact same thing and try to trade the same way every game. I also don’t see the point in the central 5th alien players as that person is almost guaranteed to lose every single game. It has the bones of a good game but it definitely needs tweaked and worked out to make sense and actually bring any players in. I hope future updates will make this easier and better. ### 4/5 — Great *2026-08-05, version 1.7* I really enjoy this game. I think it has great graphics and I also like the gameplay setting in outer space. I like that the rewards are actually worth the grind to learn the game. ### 5/5 — Worth the grind! *2026-08-04* I have never played a game like this! I love it! The tutorials are super helpful to get you playing quickly and help you learn all the components of the game. The graphics and concept are unique and fun. I’m confident I’ll spend hours playing this game! **Developer response:** Glad to hear you like the game! Feel free to connect with other players or share more feedback in our Discord server. ### 4/5 — Captivating Strategy Game *2026-08-03* Initially the game took a bit of time to get used to. There’s quite a number of mechanics to adjust to, which I find interesting. The more you’re willing to engage with the gameplay, the greater the play becomes over time. Definetly worth checking out! **Developer response:** Glad you started to enjoy the game! We're in the midst of a big revamp that should lower the initial learning barrier by a lot. ### 5/5 — Amazing Game! *2026-07-31* Duper is a fun social strategy game that keeps every match exciting. Bluffing in this game is top notch, and way too fun to take the whole pot for the win.I really enjoyed Duper because it combines strategy with social interaction in a unique way. Every game feels different, making it engaging and highly replayable. **Developer response:** Glad you enjoy Duper! ### 5/5 — Addictive!! *2026-07-28* Duper is such a cool game, the intro is so helpful to make sure you know how to play and sharpen your skills for the actual game play. This game is frustratingly addictive and has a chokehold on me!! **Developer response:** Haha, thanks for your kind review! ### 3/5 — Carregamento infinito *2026-07-28* Não consigo jogar, o jogo não sai da primeira tela. Por favor arrumem isso **Developer response:** Valeu pelo aviso! Esse problema acontece porque o progresso do carregamento está sendo exibido de forma errada. Já arrumamos isso e a correção deve sair em alguns dias. Por enquanto, espera um pouquinho a mais na tela de carregamento que o jogo entra! ### 5/5 — Complex Fun *2026-07-27* Duper has a really unique turn based mechanism that I’ve not seen in other strategy games. It can feel a bit overwhelming at the beginning cuz there’s a lot to learn. But once you understand how everything works, it does become much more enjoyable. The learning curve is worth it, and mastering diplomacy makes each match feel rewarding. **Developer response:** Indeed, glad you enjoy Duper! We're working on smoothening the learning curve more, too. ### 3/5 — Tem potencial *2026-07-27* O jogo e a ideia são ótimos, mas precisa melhorar a UI do jogo como proporções e organização, falta intuitividade nessa parte assim como nos turnos **Developer response:** Valeu pelo feedback! Estamos trabalhando pra deixar a UI/UX mais intuitiva e facilitar a entrada de novos jogadores. Uma atualização grande sai em até uma semana — fiquem ligados! ### 5/5 — Strategic and Enjoyable *2026-07-27* I’ve been enjoying Duper so far. The game play is easy to learn but has enough strategy to keep each match interesting, and the interface is clean and intuitive. Overall, it’s a fun and well-designed game that I’m looking forward to play more. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review! ### 5/5 — Great for strategy lovers *2026-07-26* I like the vibe of the game. The sound design is good, main menu is easy to use, overall look is fun. There’s a helpful set of tutorials and a wiki page to easily brush up on any game mechanics (and there are a lot of them). It could still use a bit of work, so I’d be interested in seeing any updates. But overall, it’s a nice game for strategy, with lots of different angles. Once you’re past the learning curve, it could be something you sink hours into. **Developer response:** Appreciate your review! Feel free to share update directions you'd like to see in our Discord server at https://www.discord.gg/duper. ### 5/5 — Great graphics *2026-07-25* Fun game with nice graphics. It took me a few minutes to understand how to play, but after that I really enjoyed it. The strategy aspect in this game is pretty enjoyable once you get into it. **Developer response:** Appreciate your review! ### 5/5 — Great social strategy game *2026-07-24, version 1.6* The turn-based gameplay is fun, and planning attacks with allies makes every match exciting. Really enjoyable and addictive. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-07-23* Duper is super fun to play. It’s unique from other apps and stands out in comparison to details and design. Has a great hook!! There is a great intro where it gives you step by step instructions for the first few rounds until you really get the hang of it. The game is challenging enough to keep you hooked and want to improve but fun enough to make you want to stay. It’s one of those addicting games where you want your level to increase rapidly. I highly recommend!! **Developer response:** Thanks for your kind review! ### 3/5 — Bots *2026-07-22, version 1.6* Why does every match have to be against bots? Its not even online at this point. ### 5/5 — Great for board game lovers *2026-07-22* Big board game person and this totally scratches that itch for me. Half the fun is just chatting with everyone making little deals and then watching those deals fall apart five minutes later. Getting backstabbed is honestly hilarious when it happens lol! feels like playing a board game with friends with a lot of chaos! **Developer response:** Glad you enjoy the game! ### 4/5 — Stuck on loading *2026-07-21* Cant play, my phone is up to date. Ive waited a while for the game to start but it leaves me on the initial loading screen with the bar full and captions “all finished”. Looks like a fun games though. **Developer response:** If it's not network issue, could you let us know more details by emailing support@curio.gg or opening a ticket in our Discord at https://discord.gg/duper? We'd hate it if you'd love the game but can't play due to a problem on our side. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Intrusive steals data. And not made for tablet *2026-07-28* Do not install or register an account with them. Plus the visual quality is mediocre, it wasn’t made for a tablet. **Developer response:** Sorry to leave this impression on you. What part did you find intrusive? Would love if you can share with us at support@curio.gg so we can improve the product. For visual quality, you can go into settings (the gear icon once you enter lobby the first time) and change the visual quality to "High". ### 1/5 — Maybe will come back *2026-07-23, version 1.6* Game is broken I tried twice to play won’t go past the loading screen tells me I’m all done. iPhone 17e it’s not the phone promise. Great concept would like to play lol ### 1/5 — Need account *2026-07-20, version 1.6* Why no option for a guest account? Don’t want to make an account for a game I might not like and delete in 20mins. ### 1/5 — Stuck on loading *2026-07-20* This seems like such a cool concept and I'll come back in a few months and try it again because I really do like the idea however once I tried to launch on my iPhone 17 Max Pro I was stuck in loading for over 20 minutes I got annoyed and shut it off delete the app reloaded the app onto my phone and try it again. It did not work the second time either it was stuck on the loading screen so I just deleted it. Hopefully this gets resolved and I can come back in a few months and there will be more people playing it'll be fun we'll have a good time who knows we'll see. I want to encourage the developers to keep at it this really does seem like a cool idea. **Developer response:** Hey, really sorry for your issue and appreciate bringing it to our attention. Could you let us know more details at support@curio.gg or in Discord (https://www.discord.gg/duper) tickets? Thanks so much! Would love to fix this in case it happens for other players too. ### 1/5 — Error *2026-07-18, version 1.5* So when signed in with google and I excepted the privacy policy and I put a 4 letter name there was this error that didn’t let me play the game I tried over and over again but it didn’t let me play the game so I had to delete the game ### 1/5 — Instant delete *2026-07-11, version 1.5* Give us your information or you can access the game. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Curious but quickly convoluted and ‘feature-maxing’ *2026-07-11* I deleted the game after playing cards were introduced as part of some mechanic to build forts. Possibly a tutorial UI design flaw of how it introduces the game, but it feels like it’s trying too hard to be ‘different’ in uninteresting overused ways. But mainly the playing cards on top of currencies. It’s so random in this faux cyber punk minigame **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! The playing cards are actually a core strategic element meant to drive player trading and diplomacy while collecting combinations for advanced units. That said, we completely hear you on the onboarding. If it felt random or overwhelming alongside coins, that's a sign our tutorial UI needs to make its purpose much clearer. We'll be actively working on simplifying how resources are introduced! ### 1/5 — Не работает *2026-07-04* Не работает на iPhone 15 ### 1/5 — ___ *2026-06-30* Прошло уже несколько обновлений. Игра до сих пор не загружается IPhone 16 pro **Developer response:** Do you still have the issue? If so, feel free to send us your detailed issue to support@curio.gg or join us Discord at discord.gg/duper, and we'll help you in no time! ### 1/5 — && *2026-06-24* Stuck on loading. **Developer response:** Which step are you stuck on? Would really appreciate if you could join our Discord at discord.gg/duper, open a ticket, and provide us a more detailed description of the issue as well as a screenshot. You could also send us an email at support@curio.gg. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lowkey fun *2026-08-14* Forts are honestly one of my favorites. You can make some really annoying defense setups and just watch everyone try to figure out how to deal with it 😂 **Developer response:** Yay thank you! ### 5/5 — Alliances can change *2026-08-12* I absolutely enjoy strategy games and this was fun. Do not skip the tutorial. Once I got the hang of it I actually started having fun. It’s like you have to think strategically, trade resources, and figure out who you can trust because those alliances can change QUICK! Every match feels different depending on the players, which makes you want to play again and try a new strategy. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review! Seems like you got the hang of it! ### 5/5 — Great Futuristic Battle Game *2026-08-10* This game is a blast! It hits you with real mental stimulation, like forts are honestly one of my favorite thing. You can make some really annoying defensive setups and just watch everyone try to figure out how to deal with it, lol! **Developer response:** Glad you like the forts! ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-08-09* I spent half a game making alliances and the other half figuring out where to put my forts before someone ruined my plan 😂 ### 5/5 — Fun strategy game *2026-08-06* This is a really fun turn-based strategy game with a lot more depth than I expected. The tutorial explains everything pretty well, but you still have to play a few games before things really start to click. My favorite part was playing as Red and deciding whether to build alliances or doing hilarious backstabs at the right moment lol. That whole diplomacy aspect is what makes this game stand out for me. **Developer response:** Thanks so much! ### 5/5 — Interesting Futuristic Looking Game *2026-08-06* This game has a very futuristic vibe both visually and with its sound effects, which I thought was pretty cool! I also liked that it actually makes you think about your moves to win instead of just making simple moves that can easily lead to a win. I thought it was also a nice touch that the game has a social aspect, where you can chat and put your diplomacy skills to the test. **Developer response:** Glad you like Duper's art and diplomacy! ### 5/5 — Fun and Strategic! *2026-08-06* Really fun strategy game that keeps you thinking about your next move and how to make the most of each turn. I especially liked being able to practice with bots first, which helped me learn the mechanics and feel more confident before jumping into games with other players. **Developer response:** Appreciate your review! ### 5/5 — Fun Strategy Game *2026-08-05* The tutorial made it easy to understand the basics, and each match feels like it offers different ways to win depending on your strategy. I’m looking forward to seeing future updates and would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys strategic multiplayer games. **Developer response:** Thanks! Big update coming soon ;) ### 5/5 — nostalgic strategy game *2026-08-05, version 1.7* Love the 90s/00s design of this strategy game. The tutorials are super helpful for getting to know the mechanics of the game early on!! My favorite part was collaborating with other players to split payouts. ### 5/5 — Challenging game, great techno music *2026-08-05* I’m loving the music and sound design here. Challenging to pick up the rules, but I liked working through it and the cooperative strategy component. Battlefield animation and layout looks really good. Overall, a solid social strategy game that’s mentally engaging and has great ambiance. **Developer response:** Appreciate it! Team has indeed put in a lot of work to build a great strategy game, and will continue to do so. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
