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…
W game
Amazing rogue like deck builder with unique cards that hint at each other if you think hard enough. Game is not hard if you think ahead
Good
Yeh it’s good fun and also challenging
Horrible rigged waste of time
Horrible rigged waste of time
Terrible, if not THE worst mobile port I’ve ever seen
In a half way decent deck builder, all you have to do is make looking at and using the cards easy, and at the least mid grade satisfying….
However, you decided to make EVERY card in your hand 50% out of screen. This wouldn’t be a problem if when u just tapped on a card to see it, the card description got displayed, but that’s not even close to what happens… No, the card gets stuck half way out of screen, over, and over, and over, and… Even if u drag it out of your hand and all over the screen, your thumb entirely covers the micro sized text description. Even better, while contorting your fingers and hands all over the place just to read what the card does, you’ll find that you’ve inadvertently picked up a different card that no one in their right mind would play. Or, it just uses the card you’ve drug all over the screen for the last five minutes because you can’t see the description, only to find out it wasn’t one you thought it was… and then lose.
Controls, animations, and basic functionality for these games are literally amateur level. How did u manage to make this (literally) borderline unplayable?
