One of the best

Just waiting for the sequel to be ported too!

Silent needs buff

It is almost completely impossible to beat the entire game using the silent. I've tried every build and have lost every time, you NEED to significantly buff the silent character.

Runs at 30fps on modern hardware

It runs at 60fps on the Nintendo Switch 1. Newer iPhones are more powerful and very capable of running this game at 60.

The current way it is, makes the game unplayable for me. It doesn’t feel smooth or slick, just a clunky mess.

I tried to get a refund after 5 minutes of gameplay testing, and I was declined. Even declined in my appeal too.

30 FPS Lock

Great game but this port is capped at 30 regardless of hardware. Feels sluggish on iPhone 17 Pro.

Controller Suport

Please add controller support.

Great game, plz add leaderboards

Awesome game, but can you guys add the leaderboards back?

Perfect*

This game is so nice it would be a good deal at $10,000. Unfortunately, a mobile game that requires the gamer to read is asking a lot of the gamer.

For the more wordy cards I think they could have simplified a bit for the mobile version, similar to what they did for the tabletop version. However, given how good the game is I think asking the gamer to read is forgivable.

Game itself? Great. The UI? Meh.

I like this game, I like the second game, this is nothing about the game itself. The problem is the UI on the IPhone.

1. The map icons are SO small, even for someone with 20/20 vision (not a flex, just a fact), and it makes tapping them more annoying.
2. The potions. In the PC port, you click on the potion and drag down, which is fine. When you’re on a phone, and you drag your finger down to see notifications? You can guess how that goes.
3. Playing the cards. You drag up to play them, but you also drag up to change apps (at least on my model of an IPhone 10).

Overall, I like the game, and I like being able to play it on the go, but I REALLY wish I could adjust the UI to make it easier for me to tap. I can’t change the drag up or down thing, that can be worked around just fine, it’s just the map that I REALLY have quibbles with. If you wanna play this game, either play it on a tablet so you have more room to work with, play it on a big phone, or just get it for PC/laptop. I still recommend this game a lot, 10/10 game, I just have UI quibbles, but it’s expected for moving a game from PC to mobile.

为什么买断的版本不可以用手柄呢?🎮?

要支持手柄的啊,快开发进去啊!我简直爱死这个游戏了"Why can't I use a controller in the paid version? 🎮?""You need to support controllers! Hurry up and develop it! I absolutely love this game."

Not a great port

Game itself is awesome, I wouldn't recommend this IOS port. Card selection can be error prone, most recent issue, the scoreboards for the daily climb haven't worked for months. Disappointing, the game itself is really good though.

Broken Leaderboards

Good game. Getting buggy like no leaderboards loading. That was part of the game you advertised.

No regrets.

I am 353 hours in, and beaten Ascension 20 on all 4 characters. I just came here to say: No regrets.
If you’re thinking about buying the game, do it. It’s great.
By the way, their second game is coming out on PC soon. I just wanna remind developers, your iOS fanbase is waiting for the port. :)

Love STS1

Love this game, been an avid daily climber for quite a while. I guess they no longer host the server or whatever that allows the leaderboard to exist because it has been broken for quite a while. Just so happened to coincide with the release of the sequel, a game that bastardizes a lot of the balance this game achieved.

Best Mobile Game

Best mobile game hands down, infinitely replayable, and doesn’t require an internet connection making it great for on the go and even flying.

Can’t see cards

Move the cards up so you can read the text without having to click on them. When you try to click the cards half of the time they don’t even move up enough to read them anyway. Just move the text to the top of the card and the artwork to the bottom. FOR THE LOVE LET US BE ABLE TO READ THE CARDS!!!

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!

Amazing, UI needs work

Amazing game. I have played many hours on PC. Mobile port needs some work. Text is small and can be hard to read on phone, even with bigger text enabled. Cards can be finicky, many buttons too small. I am playing on iPhone 17.

uncomfortable experience:(

60 Fps and smoother interaction plz

Hundreds of hours

Endlessly entertaining card game and has become a full cozy game for me. Provides hundreds of hours of entertainment and can even play on flights without internet. Can’t wait for slay the spire 2 to come to the App Store. 11/10.
