### 3/5 — Great potential ruined by frustrating card reading

*2026-08-01, version 2.6.0*

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.

### 2/5 — Great game, Fix the Cards!!!

*2026-07-09, version 2.6.0*

Fix the card issue dang it! I’m tired of making the wrong move because the cards are so annoying to handle…uuuuuuggggghhhhh

### 4/5 — Clunky on phone

*2026-06-20, version 2.6.0*

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…

### 4/5 — Great game! UI needs tweaked

*2026-04-06, version 2.6.0*

Super fun and challenging. Just a few UI critiques. Cards should sit higher so they aren’t cut off at the bottom in landscape mode on iPhone and make them BIGGER. Even with 2.5x magnification on my glasses they are tough to read. Just move the characters up a little to make room if needed, there’s a lot of empty space.

### 2/5 — Ok😕

*2026-04-06, version 2.6.0*

Amazing game. starts out fun, but it became boring after a day

### 3/5 — Bad controls

*2026-04-04, version 2.6.0*

Great game, but whoever is programming the controls should be sacked.

### 3/5 — It’s a pass time

*2026-04-02, version 2.6.0*

Nothing to really get people invested. Can’t collect anything, all your stats go back to scratch if you get eliminated. It’s structured well. Like you can build on it BUT.. this is not a game for the long run.

### 2/5 — Amazing game - terrible app

*2026-03-31, version 2.6.0*

I love the game. I love that this is in Apple Arcade. However the controls are abysmal. Accidentally play cards all the time, the card is under your finger so it’s hard to see the details, etc. if that is ever fixed, this would be perfect!

### 2/5 — Great game - awful controls

*2026-03-27, version 2.6.0*

Controls absolutely suck. No controller support either is a huge miss for an Apple Arcade title.

### 3/5 — Interesting game, bad controls

*2026-03-27, version 2.6.0*

The game itself has a lot of depth and replayability, but considering that 80%+ of your interactions will be with inspecting or dragging cards, oof. No easy way to consistently and quickly preview a card, sometimes dragging one will pick up another instead, just really, really fidgety. It makes the experience just frustrating enough to not be worth playing, IMO.

### 1/5 — RNG is terrible and enemies are too tough too soon

*2026-03-26, version 2.6.0*

I’ve played for hours, learning each character and developing strategies along the way, even making it to the 2nd and 3rd floors. Unfortunately, far too many runs have been ruined by poor loot pools hindering me from getting stronger and the enemies are far too deadly even on the first floor. Like, what do you mean that all enemies are gonna hit for 24 damage each and I have no shield cards in my hand? “Oh? It’s because you’ve been too busy trying to survive this whole game because they would’ve killed you each round up until now if I didn’t defend and now all my defensive cards are discarded? Tough luck I guess.”  If buffs for enemies didn’t stack infinitely or debuffs weren’t nearly always applied to me every match the game would be more possible. In the end, I don’t have ability to enjoy the game since I repeatedly die before I even defeat the first boss. If you like an unreasonably more difficult version of “Inscryption” then this is for you.

### 1/5 — No controller support

*2026-03-26, version 2.6.0*

Not even worth a star absolutely pathetic of game to do this

### 1/5 — Game doesn’t work

*2026-08-08, version 2.6.0*

Can’t play

### 1/5 — Impossible

*2026-07-26, version 2.6.0*

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.

### 1/5 — Horrible rigged waste of time

*2026-05-24, version 2.6.0*

Horrible rigged waste of time

### 1/5 — Terrible, if not THE worst mobile port I’ve ever seen

*2026-05-15, version 2.6.0*

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?

### 1/5 — Horrible rigged waste of time

Hopeless rigged waste of time

### 1/5 — Buy the normal game

*2026-03-27, version 2.6.0*

This one is intentionally rigged to be more difficult compared to the normal game. This and Balatro.

### 5/5 — Fun and fun Enemies

*2026-08-05, version 2.6.0*

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

### 5/5 — Fun but hard

*2026-07-15, version 2.6.0*

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

### 5/5 — A High Quality Card Game

*2026-07-10, version 2.6.0*

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.

### 5/5 — W game

*2026-06-07, version 2.6.0*

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
