Overrated (?)
The game is essentially; what if we made blackjack but removed king, queen, jack and ace out of the game, so it's impossible to win because you're always going to bust out on your earlier runs until you unlock those cards by doing consecutive runs. If grinding a deck builder is interesting to you, go ahead. There's no out of run currency to purchase cards you actually would want in a row. So that means you're arbitrarily capped at never beating the game until you've played for 10 hours or more for one character.
This ends the subjective portion of the review because maybe you want to waste 50 hours grinding out the characters until the game let's you win.
This game has an ugly art style. It's something a middle schooler who knows their way around a Wacom tablet would draw. There's no detail, it's just a very basic brush and colour style with earthy tones that are unappealing. The cards have this same adolescent and unappealing look. I just don't understand what people see when even the art is just so mediocre. This is appealing to the "if it's made by a human it's automatically good without merit" crowd and appeals nothing to people who have eyes. You had actual geniuses making pixel art to look realistic on CRTs back in the day because they actually understood things like proportions, how images are drawn on those screens, and wanted to make something good. It's only qualifies as art because the bar is so low these days, and this isn't something intentional like abstract art because this is clearly the limits of the artist's creative ability to render fantasy worlds.

One of my favorite games on iPhone/iPad
Iโve got 60hrs on this game so far (mostly on iPad). Every climb of the spire is unique and when you get on a good run it makes up for the 30 failures before it. 10/10
Needs other ports
Great game, hugely missing ports like Mac and Apple TV, would love a Vision app too.
Imbalanced game
Boring game and so much imbalance.
Zero updates
Developers care none
