Meteorfall is a deck-building roguelike. You'll choose your class from one of four unique adventurers, and then set out with a deck consisting of some basic attack cards. During the course of your adventure, you'll be presented with the opportunity to add powerful new cards to your deck. No adventure would be complete without slaying a few monsters that get in your way. In battle, you'll draw cards from your ability deck. Each time you draw a card, you'll be able to swipe right to play the card, or swipe left to skip a turn and regain some stamina. Between battles, you'll venture through a variety of locations, represented by an encounter deck. You'll encounter blacksmiths that can upgrade your cards, temples that can help you optimize your deck, and mysterious characters that will make you all sorts of bargains. The tactical strategy of combat micro-decisions mixed with the strategic element of deck-building provides a compelling and deep gameplay experience. As with all roguelikes, death is permanent. You'll earn some gems that you can use to unlock new cards, but it's back to the drawing board after that. Start out with a new adventurer and set out on your quest once again. The good news is that Meteorfall is different every time you play - you'll encounter different locations, different enemies, and different quests. Part of the challenge is adapting to the challenging situations the game puts you in, given the cards available. Good luck hero - it's time to end the Uberlich's cycle of destruction!

It really pares down the deckbuilding roguelike genre to its essentials and I've got to say, this game's got good bones. Every couple of years I returned to it and get addicted to it all over again. Kind of glad that iOS doesn't track the number of hours you've spent on a game like Steam does because that would be embarrassing. Aside from all of that, the game is extremely polished and has wonderful whimsical art, music, and sound design, but beneath all that it's just a really good game. ### 4/5 — Meteorfall:Journey *2025-11-07, version 1.0.323* Pretty good card game! Good variety of cards and enemies. I really like the graphic style. It’s what I would call a bite sized card game. Not too long and not too short. Tweaking the health, temple, and blacksmith options would bring this game up to an easy five stars. ### 3/5 — Not optimized for modern iPhones *2025-09-21, version 1.0.323* I really enjoyed this game when I played it on my iPhone 12. I've since bought a 17, with the dynamic island, and noticed that the aspect ratio does not seem to have been updated to account for newer models with a dynamic island. Important text is cut off at the corners of the screen. Just an FYI. I hope there is an update soon but I wouldn't hold my breath. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-07-04, version 1.0.323* Great game, really worth the money. There are many classes to choose from. Especially, the game is very light, so you can play comfortably without worrying about battery drain. The daily challenge mode is also amazing, we can compare our achievements with others. After defeating the final boss, a harder mode will be unlocked. I haven't defeated the final boss twice yet, so I'm not sure if there's more to unlock. ### 5/5 — Sempre un gran gioco *2025-05-31, version 1.0.323* Recuperato a distanza di anni rimane sempre divertente. ### 5/5 — So cute *2025-05-14, version 1.0.323* Wanted a game that would help pass the time before bed and honestly I am pleasantly surprised. 10/10 would recommend ### 5/5 — Обновления *2025-04-21, version 1.0.323* Мне очень понравилась игра. Жалко что обновлений больше нет. ### 5/5 — Russian Language *2025-03-08, version 1.0.323* Add Russian language please ### 3/5 — Fix this game *2024-10-01, version 1.0.323* I love this game but recently no sound. Update it! ### 2/5 — Nö *2024-05-02* Gute Idee, aber Gegner werden ab der zweiten Runde lächerlich schwer… ## Frequently asked questions about Meteorfall ### What kind of game is Meteorfall: Journey?
