There’s a real sense of ‘just one more game’ which keeps it entertaining. I watch the ads when they pop up which is fine, but for the last three days the ads happen after EVERY game, and what’s worse is that there is no way to get past the ads…they freeze up and I have to exit the game and restart it, everytime!!! Deleting the app because of this. ### 2/5 — Pay to win *2026-05-25, version 1.5.7* Defense cards are never drawn from your deck when playing the AI. Thats super LAME. And after you complete the 1st region of the map, forget it: the strength of emenies in the next story region basically requires a HUGE amount of luck or paying for resources to level up. 1st region was a fun challenge. After that, this is clearly a pay-to-win game. ### 5/5 — Tons of fun *2024-07-04, version 1.5.3* This game is way fun! It’s like combining poker with the game “Bang” and adding animation! Tons of fun! Make sure you’re increasing your damage & health or you won’t have enough to make it through the tougher levels even with really good hands. ### 4/5 — Good Game however…. *2024-06-16, version 1.5.3* This is a good game to play, however….. it is more of a pay to play as you level up. The amount of gold required vs what you get in return is ridiculously stupid. You have to pay like 10 gold for one bullet to increase your bullet stash. If your patient you can watch a video every 12 hrs and get 2 bars of gold so after about 36 hrs you too could be the proud owner of 1 bullet! Some levels your just not going to beat unless you play 20-30 bars of gold and that even if you good hands. Over all it’s a good game with a good concept. ### 5/5 — Crazy cool, original narrative on poker *2024-03-16, version 1.5.1* The overall gameplay is superb. This is an fascinating take on poker. The level ups and narrative are fantastic. Keep updating please. ### 5/5 — no chinese？ *2023-04-30, version 1.5.0* there is showing have support simple Chinese but didn’t have it in the game if you can add it will be great I love this game so much ### 5/5 — Great to see a game using Poker Mechanics again *2022-07-16, version 1.4.8* Great game, one of the last-standing poker battle games. Please consider a faster enemy animations/battle speed option and PLEASE remove the bullet”energy” timer and just let people play the game. ### 5/5 — Good game *2021-07-19, version 1.4.5* Ads are a little heavy but I like it. ### 2/5 — A fun game limited by waiting on the clock *2020-12-13, version 1.4.2* It’s a fun concept and an amusing game but it is ruined by having to constantly wait for resources that are necessary to play. I literally spend 4 hours not playing the game for 30 minutes of getting to participate. It’s slowly killing itself and at some point the tediousness will out way the fun and it’ll be deleted. ### 1/5 — Too hard to win *2020-11-06, version 1.3.2* That’s what she said ## Frequently asked questions about Poker Showdown ### What kind of game is Poker Showdown: Wild West Duel?
