Controls are good

I was reluctant to buy this as many of the reviews complain that the controls make it very unpleasant to play. I haven't had any issue at all - I think the controls are completely fine.

One thing to be aware of is that the font is quite small (if you have played Balatro, it's similar). I think this wouldn't really be an issue on an iPad though. I don't really think there's any fix for this though, as I'm basically playing a computer game on my phone, so it makes sense!

Bad controls limit gameplay

Unfortunately the controls for looking at what a card can do are broken and can accidentally make you play a card.
Additionally, sometimes you cannot even see what a card does unless you drag it up.
This makes gameplay frustrating.

My opinion: do not buy in its current state. Wait until it gets fixed (if that does happen)

Amazing Game

this game is amazing and the depth and complexity of it, combined with the deck you build, and the intricate dynamics between them and the relics and so many different aspects of this game are amazing. Iโ€™ve probably spent hundreds of hours playing this game so probably best value of any game Iโ€™ve ever bought. My one issue is that lately for some reason unbeknownst to me. The leaderboard functionality has been completely broken. One of my favorite things about this game is that me and a few friends of mine were competitive about the various tract metrics like fastest completion and highest score and so on. For some reason as of a few weeks ago, that functionality is completely gone. The leaderboard just says that I need to slay the spire. Iโ€™ve slayed the spire many many times and I used to have my scores and I could see how I stood up against my buddies and for some reason, itโ€™s just broken now. Game devs please fix it. As of now, I canโ€™t even see my own top scorers or my own stats with regard to how well I have done in the past, and that is very frustrating.
