### 5/5 — A classic is back!

*2026-04-12*

One of the originals to use this battle mechanic. Welcome back. You should absolutely play this.

### 5/5 — Hoping for an update before iOS 11

*2017-05-21*

The developer has paid his dues and kept the game around, it looks and plays great still after so many years!
One can hope for an update 🙂
If you've come across this, just buy it!

### 5/5 — Casual RPG poker, just what the doctor ordered.

*2014-03-25*

I truly enjoyed Puzzle Quest 1 & 2, yet I've struggled to find something as good as those two until now. This game is very relaxed yet forces you to think ahead, take gambles on dealt cards, pay attention to the deck, and do a little old fashioned RPG grinding if you so choose. Think about that classic game that's "easy to learn, but hard to master" and you'll truly understand how good this game is. Perfect for a casual gamer like myself.

### 2/5 — Unbalanced

*2013-12-13*

I like the games mechanics and story, but as soon as timers are included, the game is virtually unplayable.

While I already have issues with timers due to my disabilities, these are worse than any I’ve ever seen. Normally I can get about 80% of the way through something before a timer runs out, but here I’m only getting 5-10%. That’s just ludicrous. I can see why other players are complaining that the timers just aren’t realistic.

This game needs some serious play-testing and major adjustments in the next release. Maybe just doing away with the timers all together.

I really wanted this game to be better. I really enjoyed my first ten minutes with it.

### 3/5 — good at first...

*2013-08-26*

This started off well:  making poker hands to beat enemies as a time killer.  Problems with implementation quickly surfaced, however.  The game started repeatedly bugging me to review it during level 1.  What are the odds that I would have a feeling for the full game that early?  The game does allow replay of levels, but the dialogue doesn't change, so the characters appear to have a bad case of amnesia.  I found no way to zoom out on the map, which resulted in some time wasted wandering around.  Some of the midgame timed puzzles are unrealistic without paying for powerups.   If you're OK with paying for these, or with just playing the first few levels repeatedly to kill some time, go ahead and try this; otherwise you may wish to look elsewhere.

### 1/5 — This game is virtually unplayable

*2013-04-16*

Here we have a supposedly clever game, from Brazil, which bills itself as 'the first RPPG' - role playing poker game. I love this kind of thing; I was lethally addicted to Puzzle Quest, where the match 3 genre was forever immortalized by the brilliant gameplay and majestic storyline. The biggest difference between Poker Knight and that stunning entry is quite simple: Puzzle Quest was actually PLAYABLE.

This game, on the other hand, starts out encouragingly enough, what with the cute story and engaging poker hand gameplay. It soon becomes strikingly clear however that you can't advance very far - I'm talking about the third or fourth 'level, of which there are nine - without having to spend real $ on chips, so you can buy potions that restore your health and also buy re-charges for the powers you get from collecting the all-important amulets.  I tried playing without shelling out as long as I could, and then I finally invested $4.99 for 10,000 in chips. That got me a little farther along, only to be faced with the Queen character on the fourth level, who has the power to freeze the cards, rendering them unusable unless you have the explode amulet, which I did, with 5 recharges  - the max - and I didn't even put a dent in her 2500 life points (as opposed to my measly 212 or whatever). In the process, I used up all my $ buying health recharges, until I was nearly out of chips, with nearly all the cards frozen and nothing to do but slink off with my tail between my legs. 

As others have stated, the game is seriously flawed and horrendously imbalanced, in ways far too numerous to go into here and in addition to what I described above. Didn't anyone at Instant Technologies test the sucker before releasing it last December to an unsuspecting iPad public? It certainly does not seem like it, or they just didn't care. Whatever the case, it's been reluctantly and sadly uninstalled. It was fun while it lasted.

### 4/5 — Unique

*2013-03-10*

It's been a great app so far - I am curious to see how it plays out. Great thematic elements, and interesting gameplay. I don't like the storyline, however. It is a bit contrived.

### 5/5 — Unique Poker RPG!

*2013-01-28*

The mechanics of the game is great and don't understand the frustration of the other reviewers. The Spirits can be difficult but once you get the hang of using your amulets, they become easy. After the first map, I think I beat all the spirits on the first try. This game is great time waster!

### 5/5 — Great Puzzle/Strategy Card Game

*2013-01-12*

Reminded me a lot of Sword and Poker when I first started playing it, but after getting a few of the amulets and getting more and more options for each battle, it's an entirely different feel. I only wish that there was a mini-Map on the levels, finding all paths for 100% completion on later stages is an exercise in frustration.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2013-01-06*

Until you realize that the amulets are the key to the game, it's incredibly challenging and frustrating. But after you make that mental leap? Great gameplay propelled by a decent RPG mechanic. Highly recommended.
