### 5/5 — Can’t log in

*2025-03-24, version 0.19.0*

I’m having a problem with it telling me I can’t login because I’m logged in elsewhere and I most certainly am not

### 5/5 — I love it

*2025-03-11, version 0.19.0*

Been playing for a while is my cup of tea .

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2024-11-16, version 0.19.0*

Me and my friends were talking about an anime that has a similar idea to this game. One my friends mentioned your game. We all enjoyed it and loved it. Thank you for making this game and we are looking forward to its future.

### 5/5 — Hidden gem

*2023-03-14, version 0.19.0*

This TCG is great and very unique.  And the crazy thing is tons of people still play this. I rarely wait more than a few seconds for a casual match. Seems to be still getting regular updates. If you are in the mood for a TCG that isn’t just a hearthstone clone, give this one a shot.

### 1/5 — Why

*2022-12-08, version 0.19.0*

It won’t download on my phone for some reason

### 1/5 — No funciona

*2022-07-17, version 0.19.0*

La aplicación no me arranca, me pide una actualización y no me deja actualizar, es curioso que fue luego de dejar una reseña aquí 🤨

### 5/5 — Love Lightseekers

*2022-06-17, version 0.19.0*

I love how it introduces TCG in a different way by having corners. Timing is everything and nothing.

### 4/5 — Addictive but buggy!

*2022-01-27, version 0.19.0*

There’s clearly been a lot of work put into this game and it is very good! 
 The 6 main ‘colors’ are well balanced each with it’s own playstyle, and you quickly get enough cards to brew your own decks without needing to spend real cash.

 The pvp works smoothly and the chat options are limited so no one can be a troll!

 There are several ways to play solo, including an adventure mode that (while not my personal favourite) gets you more cards, and helps you to see different strategies and ideas.

 Also, the devs seem to promote sharing of deck ideas, and cards - you can scan in your physical cards and scan other people’s booster / ‘tribute’ cards, which gets you bonuses.

 For all its perks though, it’s not a perfect game.
 It crashes more often than i care for, including but not limited to PvP games, draft, and whenever I take a phonecall. Even against bots this results in a loss by default. 

 The game occasionally shows you one card when you’re actually looking at something else entirely. 

 The rules are not all that intuitive, and the walkthrough only gives you a basic understanding. 

Other than the crashes, these are all forgivable sins! I am still hooked on Lightseekers!

### 4/5 — Is this game still being made?

*2021-05-30, version 0.19.0*

I haven’t seen updates or news in over a year.

### 1/5 — Good concept, bad execution

*2021-04-12, version 0.19.0*

Good mechanics and decent card design. Terrible cash-grab tactics ruin the experience. Fun for a few days until you realize it's completely impossible to grind for anything whatsoever. You'll have to pay into an endless pit to advance. I spend thousands on games annually but not when they don't value my time or that of free players.
