Too small AND no controller support
I wanted to play this on a larger screen because of the same complaints about no accessibility features (the “large text” feature is laughable) so I AirPlayed my screen to my Apple TV and connected my controller to my iPhone. I do this with plenty of games and yet, no controller support…
The touch UI is not good for this game. Sometimes I’ll tap on a card just to read it and it won’t come up high enough, so I tap outside of the cards (and not on an enemy or myself) to reset the selection. Nope — just used the card without even knowing what it does.
Stop killing your own game’s reputation and put in these much needed fixes. I’m on an iPhone 15 Pro Max with perfect up-close vision and it’s still hard to read everything, often triggering the “you’re too close to your iPhone” feature.
It makes the game unplayable.

Slot machine with cards
Hooks you without being fun. Stay away if you value your time.
Great
Play it everyday. One suggestion could be to add more variety in the daily challenge mode
Unnacurate
It sucks that i have to give it one star, when really it deserves 0
Awful UI, bad port
Excellent game, but this is a horrible mobile port.
Seems next to no effort was put into properly adapting the UI and controls to iOS - tiny text, UI elements blocked by Dynamic Island, and bad touch controls that lead to fingers blocking tooltip info and triggering accidental inputs.
This game deserves better. Boo.

The Best Game You Haven’t Tried Yet
It is strange to call this game one of the best games ever made. I was reluctant to even try it, but after the persistent suggestion from a friend whose opinion I value, I gave it a shot, and quickly became obsessed.
I have logged over 1,000 hours on this game across all platforms, and 744 of those hours are logged on this iOS version of the game.
This is the perfect game to have on the run, because it saves between each fight, and one fight usually only takes a few seconds to a couple of minutes, so you can whip it out and play a round when you have a second or two to kill.
The console and PC versions look nicer and have nicer controls, but this version of the game is so convenient I find myself playing it much more often.

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
I’ve 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

Game doesn’t work
Can’t play
Fun and fun Enemies
Fun game like the art style and are fun but I wish it could have a another story after you beat it your first time and you can pick two stories to play from, but still a great game
Great potential ruined by frustrating card reading
The game play and style are great, but it is SO frustrating trying to read cards. You can only see the top half of the cards, so you can’t read their descriptions without clicking on them individually. Not only that, but doing so frequently makes them get played when you’re just trying to read them.

Impossible
I looked at my stats and I have played more than 1500 rounds and it is fair to say that, in the end, I hate this game. I have completed it once each for three of the four characters. I cannot complete it with the fourth. There is no joy. You lose every time. Anytime you need certain cards to be competitive they come out very last. Every ? room turns into a fight when you least need it. I so much want to like this game and I can’t. It is even more of a waste of time than other games because you never win. Waste your time somewhere else that is at least somewhat satisfying.

Fun but hard
I really enjoy the deck building rogue-like aspect of the game, I also think the game is very well made in general. My only complaints is the lack of ways to restore your health and how hard the first boss is. Other than that I recommend you download the game
Horrible rigged waste of time makes phone hot drains battery pls fix

A High Quality Card Game
This game is a really good card game with depth and a lot of replay value. It’s hard and you loose a lot but that’s part of the experience in its genre.
Great game, Fix the Cards!!!
Fix the card issue dang it! I’m tired of making the wrong move because the cards are so annoying to handle…uuuuuuggggghhhhh
Drains battery makes phone hot, horrible rigged waste of time, pls fix

Clunky on phone
Obviously a great game that’s acclaimed on many platforms but falls short on mobile due to the UI. When trying to view cards descriptions, the cards glitch making it difficult to click out without misclicking. Seems like a simple fix…
