Unfortunately, the ad takes over the whole screen and you must shut down the app and start it again to continue. ### 4/5 — 廣告播完沒辦法關 *2025-10-15, version 2.0.6* 廣告播完沒辦法關掉，都只能關掉重開才能繼續遊戲 看廣告的獎勵也沒辦法拿，因為播完只能重開遊戲，重開之後又不算剛剛播的廣告所以獎勵都拿不到 但遊戲本身設計是好玩的 ### 2/5 — Decent game dumb censorship *2025-09-15, version 2.0.6* Why do you devs insist on ruining good character designs buy constantly adding new ugly pieces to each outfit to cover the female characters up even more? So pathetic honestly. Won’t get more money from me. Plenty of other games that don’t have some weird agenda. ### 3/5 — Screen size does not scale *2025-08-12, version 2.0.5* Game itself is good, but won’t scale to the screen size on an iPad. ### 3/5 — 我有買全部dLc但是可不可以拜託你們廣告正常 *2025-08-05, version 2.0.5* 廣告都會卡死，要重開、召喚師好容易死 ### 4/5 — Good even with the bugs *2025-07-27, version 2.0.5* It seems like the game is mostly complete but there are a few bugs where an effect does not do what it should. For example a card that should 'activate' a unit twice only does so once. These bugs are somewhat common but surprisingly do not really bring the game down nearly as much as you might think. ### 2/5 — 好像有外掛的問題 *2025-07-23, version 2.0.5* 第一名的錢跟天賦都滿 卡片沒有多少特殊 我真的不知道她怎打上第一名 有檢舉功能嗎 ### 3/5 — 好欸 *2025-05-30, version 2.0.5* 可以離線遊玩這點深得我心 每個角色各有特色，隨機性的遭遇配合各種不同的決策和技能，讓每一場過程都有不同的體驗，很有冒險的感覺，此外桌遊式的玩法、一定程度的角色成長要素非常有趣。 後來發現角色被添加一些莫名其妙的布料，胸口加布料、大腿加布料、肚子加布料，有必要嗎？這種超級大減分的要素。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Watching ads makes the screen black *2026-07-05, version 2.0.6* As stated. Watching ads for things makes the screen just go black after the ad is over. Have to restart the app. This bug is over a year old and still not fixed. 1-star review stays until that is fixed. Also, this game is many years older than Slay the Spire. Quit saying this is like that game. That game is like this. Except Splay the Spire is boring. ### 1/5 — 遊戲內當機 *2025-11-29, version 2.0.6* 連看個廣告都能遊戲內當機，要多爛？ ### 1/5 — 廣告 *2025-11-20, version 2.0.6* 裡面的天賦看廣告可以減半，但你連廣告都不讓我關閉是怎麼樣？ 遊戲重啟又要看廣告，又不能關 死循環嗎？ 我4個DLC都買了還這麼爛真的有夠廢欸 ### 1/5 — ADS BUG *2025-10-03, version 2.0.6* Game is notbad but , ADS BUG is breaking the game lol ### 1/5 — Ads block play *2025-08-26, version 2.0.6* Fun game but devs are not paying attention to the ad behavior. After viewing an ad you need to close the game as it won’t let you out. Too tedious to invest more time into this game. ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-06-07, version 2.0.5* Have both instore dlc purchase and ads ### 1/5 — 広告表示がおかしい *2025-03-09* 広告が左半分にしか表示されず広告でのコンティニューが無効となる為わざわざ広告削除の課金までしたのですが解決しません。 ゲームは面白いので早急に直していただきたいです。 **Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear the prorblem in the game. You can contact us by email(support@erabitstudios.com),and submit detailed question information ### 1/5 — Whiteout survival ad breaks game *2025-03-05, version 2.0.5* 3 times in a row an ad broke the game and I was not able to progress. Restarted the battle after restarting the app and it did the same thing. Cannot progress further. ### 1/5 — Ads still bugged *2025-02-14* I think the Game would be fun, if you could actually play it. Before the first bossfight there is a mandatory Ad that ends with a black screen that doesn’t go away until you manually restart the app. ### 1/5 — 0 stars *2024-12-29, version 2.0.5* 3$ por cada DLC absurdo, es mejor comprar un juego rejugable de los mejores en steam o eneba te sale más barato. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — アプデはもうないのかな *2026-05-26* すごく楽しい。絵柄も好み。 戦略性も難易度も本当にちょうどいい。別に報酬あるわけではないけど、ランキングあるのもいいね。 アップデート楽しみに待ってます。 ### 5/5 — Deserves more love *2026-03-28, version 2.0.6* It’s like slay the spire but doesn’t just copy it it actually feels like its own game and the idea for companions is amazing I bought every dlc and plan on buying more but I hope in a future update I can buy skins cause I work a lot and don’t have time to do the challenges but it’s so cool how the skin also changes the art of the cards been playing for a couple weeks and can’t wait to play more I play this game more than slay the spire that’s on my console ### 5/5 — very solid game *2025-09-06, version 2.0.6* overall im impressed with the games design and variety of cards and paths. goodjob developer👍🏼 ### 5/5 — 真心覺得非常好玩 *2025-08-27, version 2.0.6* 希望可以再持續開發這款遊戲 難得我重複玩了好幾次 天賦搭配卡牌 真的有很多玩法 希望可以更新更多天賦 讓之前角色再有更多變化 當然也出新角色讓貴公司有收益也很棒 我都有買！希望持續開發更新 讓好遊戲不中斷 ### 5/5 — Surprisingly Awesome *2025-08-24, version 2.0.6* Had a really bad impression of card games and roguelike stuff in general but this is actually pretty fun. I like the art style and mechanics. Definitely recommend ### 5/5 — Fun game - for what it is *2025-07-27, version 2.0.5* Being a free game this excels. Interesting enough gameplay loop the first couple times through, with quite a lot of content. It suffers a bit from runs that are far too long (I had a run in the tower that went for three hours) but if you just need to kill time this is a fun break. It doesn’t have too many synergies, at least not synergies that are easy to get. I find I go through every run with the same build and the bosses don’t seem to do enough to hinder you. The way ads are implemented is amazing, I appreciate it so much. One complaint I have is that it does always crash my game when I get them, but I can just close and continue my run to get around it so it’s just a minor inconvenience. All in all a solid game, especially for the amazing price of free ### 5/5 — 很棒的益智遊戲 *2025-04-13, version 2.0.5* 可以一再回鍋的經典 ### 5/5 — Incredible game! *2025-03-28, version 2.0.5* 2022/One of the best Deck building game on IOS period. If you like slay the spire, night of the full moon and such. Give it a try! Update 2025, still one of the best!!!! ### 5/5 — 買了全部DLC *2025-03-26, version 2.0.5* 這款遊戲真的有夠好玩，超讚的，尤其是移除廣告，跟花了一些錢買全部DLC，開始每天無聊就會打開遊玩，打發時間。 讚👍 希望不要更新越來越爛就好了。 ### 5/5 — The Best *2025-02-21, version 2.0.5* The Best of the Best ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
