After switching to a new phone (17 Pro Max) I now encounter a bug where moving my character a space it seems to lag or stutter. I’ve encountered a few crashes too. Would love to see this fixed as it has great replayability. ### 3/5 — Ios 26 bug *2025-12-06, version 1.2.7* In ios 26 the cards now glitch/rearrange every time you move. This is a great game but the bug needs fixing. Will update if it gets fixed. ### 4/5 — Great gameplay mechanic, luck-based power up progression? *2025-11-03, version 1.2.7* Overall the game has good meat on its bones but the power ups you gain throughout the levels feel disconnected making a "build" feel more like luck than anything else. You can go half a run without selecting any power ups with synergy and the even having tons of money to buy entire stores at once won't help. That said, some may find it fun enough to skip what feels like a luck-based upgrade system every run. ### 3/5 — Solid but dialogues are annoying *2025-10-02, version 1.2.7* This is a good card game with rogue elements. Art and gameplay are what you would expect: indie studios really have a way in bringing the best ideas in mobile gaming. However, I wish we could speed up animations or skip them altogether. The few 50 first times reading the dialogues is fine, but having to tap incessantly to skip them later on is really slowing down the pace and kills the joy. I want to play a cards game, not read a novel. ### 5/5 — Nice! *2024-12-14* This game is so good, even the PC version is awesome, someone got golden hands! 😄 ### 5/5 — Good game *2024-11-19, version 1.2.7* Good game and good job ### 5/5 — Bom *2024-11-01, version 1.2.7* No início é meio difícil mas depois tu vai pegando o jeito 🤠 ### 5/5 — Fantastic rougelite with unique and replayable mechanics *2024-09-19, version 1.2.7* I am a huge fan of roguelite games and this one hits all the marks. Multiple resources, fun build around synergies, and enough diversity of characters to keep me coming back again and again. On top of that, it's a great ios game, no ads, no in app purchases, simple but meaningful controls, I love it. ### 4/5 — Jeu sympathique mais performance à revoir (iphone8) *2024-09-02* De bonnes idées de game design. Une difficulté bien dosée Mais expérience de jeu entachée de ralentissements, freezes et crashs. Espérant qu’une mise à jour viennent régler ces soucis pour profiter pleinement de cette expérience. ### 4/5 — Rogue lite très prenant *2024-07-16* Après quelques parties à comprendre la mécanique du jeu on prends du plaisir à y retourner pour essayer de finir une runs. Très addictif c’est tout ce qu’on aime. Par contre le jeu plante assez souvent mais heureusement on ne perd jamais sa progression. ### 4/5 — Bon roguelike (lite mais profond) *2024-05-27* On en a pour son argent, c’est certain ! La description du jeu et les autres commentaires parlent d’eux même ; c’est du beau travail et une excellente durée de vie ! Le seul bémol, c’est qu’il fait beaucoup chauffer ma tablette personnellement ; ipad air 2, v 15.8 et qu’il y a souvent des ralentissements. Il arrive même parfois que le jeu plante mais heureusement, le développeur a bien fait son job : ça relance tout de suite au même endroit, au même instant = 0 pertes. ### 5/5 — Fantastic amazing *2024-04-13, version 1.2.7* 超好玩 ### 5/5 — Very Addictive! *2024-03-08, version 1.2.7* This game is brilliant. I love the fact you just buy the game and that’s it. None of this micro transaction rubbish needed in order to progress the game. Well done to the developers for this game . The price is very reasonable too. ### 5/5 — Une pépite *2024-03-08* Bientôt testé dans le podcast Geekorama. Ce jeu est une vrai perle qui ne fait pas uniquement passer notre temps sur le téléphone. Passionnant, aux mécaniques subtiles et bien foutues 🤗 Je suis très fan et hâte d’en parler dans l’émission Geekorama 🤗 ### 2/5 — Cheap *2024-01-25, version 1.2.7* A game that is as cheap as pint of beer. Buy that beer. This game is painfully boring. ### 5/5 — Bien fichu et original *2024-01-17* Vraiment un bon jeu : le concept est original, amusant (voir addictif même) et très bien exécuté. Enfin des jeux sans pubs et achats intégrés, merci !! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No está en español *2024-12-27, version 1.2.7* Y hay bastantes detalles que al estar en inglés no se aprecian bien. Por favor, tradúzcanlo. ### 1/5 — This is a 5* game *2024-05-11, version 1.2.7* Anubis’ ‘Buy!’ Power should be (non-boss) instead of (non-enemy)! For 8 mana you should be able to replace an enemy card given the HEFTY price! ### 1/5 — Waste *2023-02-23, version 1.2.7* I beat classic and expert mode back to back and it felt like a waste of time. They put no effort into this cash grab. Just drag your card is the whole game. ### 1/5 — Excited to play, but can’t. *2023-02-12, version 1.2.3* I will adjust my rating when I can actually play this game, but how is it live and purchasable when there is a bug that literally stops me from getting past the opening screen? ### 1/5 — Fix? App broken right now (recent iPhone SE) *2023-02-12, version 1.2.3* Just bought app and it won’t let me enter a user name which is required to get to the menu. Seems broken at the moment. Need refund. ### 1/5 — Bug *2023-02-07, version 1.2.2* I still get profile bug. Freezes after I input the first letter on iPad Pro. ### 1/5 — It’s okay? - rushed to production *2023-02-07, version 1.2.2* Edit_2: No, it wasn’t. Score adjusted after several attempts. Edit: Profile name bug was apparently fixed. Score adjusted. Typos in the first few moments of the game. Bugs include: (1) being unable to enter a profile name - problem was “solved” by typing a letter, closing name box, type another letter, close name box and eventually realize that the name is being entered in backwards (????); (2) overlay bugs - the UI super imposed itself onto some of the text and obscured some words. Played the tutorial. I stopped playing due to impatience. ### 1/5 — Can’t play *2023-02-04, version 1.2.1* Won’t let me enter a profile name. Tried the trick mentioned in the other review, but it doesn’t work for me. ### 2/5 — It was ok at first.. *2025-12-08, version 1.2.7* But the powers you unlock are progressively worse, which discourages progression. It’s too luck based and not enough strategy and planning to be really be a rogue like. ### 2/5 — New visual bug on iOS 26 very frustrating *2025-09-23, version 1.2.7* A new bug on iOS 26 causes the cards to refresh when moving forward. Very distracting and basically unplayable now. iPhone 15 pro. Fun game when you can play it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-07-15, version 1.2.7* this isa fantastic game. it has kept me entertained for dozens of hours on train journeys. you get lots of characters, each with their own playstyle. there’s lots of new stuff to unlock. the runs are varied. honestly just great ### 5/5 — Love every second *2026-06-26, version 1.2.7* I finished the full game a while back and still come back to play a couple rounds of the randomized round, love this game ### 5/5 — Nice fast paced dungeon *2026-03-15* Nice fast paced dungeon crawler. Variety of characters and difficult Mode for demanding player. Like it a lot. ### 5/5 — Simple game *2025-12-20, version 1.2.7* A hidden gem of a mobile game. Can be played offline too. One complaint was that the new iPhone update made the game really buggy. ### 5/5 — macOS *2025-09-07, version 1.2.7* Great working also on Mac…and wonderful game ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2025-05-02, version 1.2.7* Fácil de jugar, difícil de dominar. Perfectamente pensado y diseñado para móviles. Es como si Slay the spire y Darkest Dungeon hubiesen tenido un pequeño bebé. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2025-04-26, version 1.2.7* Juego de cartas, sencillo de comprender y difícil de manejar. Es buenísimo, hay un montón de personajes con diferentes habilidades. Un montón de cartas que hacen cada partida única. Sinceramente me encanta, por 2€ es un excelente juego. Me encantaría una siguiente entrega con más contenido o un dlc. ### 5/5 — Marvelous *2025-04-14, version 1.2.7* The game is top. Simple but still many strategy and builds to discover. Question: Are you going to launch Pyrene in AppStore? ### 5/5 — Petite pépite *2025-03-27* Un super équilibre, une rejouabilitée enthousiasmante et c’est addictif. Simple mais très efficace, j’ai passé beaucoup d’heures à chercher de terminer avec chaque combinaison de personnage/pouvoir. Je trouve que c’est la grande force du jeu, chaque personnage est une toute autre expérience. Pour ce prix, pas beaucoup de concurrence sur téléphone. Petit plus : les runs sont assez courtes, ce qui permet de facilement se lancer une partie dans les transports ou dans une salle d’attente. ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2025-02-20, version 1.2.7* Amazing game, tons to unlock and use. I wish there was an endless mode but as it stands the game is amazing and I hope For more games From the dev --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
