Not a bad single player card game, the gameplay is pretty good and easy to get into. The story itself is not interesting but the gameplay makes up for it. Maybe a little dated on newer iphones, some of the UI is hidden by the iPhone’s notch/island ### 4/5 — Tweak the UI? *2019-09-19, version 1.52* I really like this game and I hugely appreciate that there are no in-app purchases or F2P mechanics. I also love that the gameplay is actually challenging. One small request, though--can the UI be adjusted so we can see our character's HP and their icon at the same time as our cards? It gets tiresome having to enlarge and shrink the deck all the time to see the HP remaining. ### 3/5 — Fun for a bit, then ends *2019-07-21* The campaign mode just suddenly stops, like, hey here's a hole to go down to your next mission.. but no you can't go down it and no extra missions appear in logbook. Was fun until it ran out of content. ### 3/5 — Great game, lacking content. *2019-07-18* First of all: If you are looking for a card game that doesn’t require online play, this is probably a solid choice for you. I appreciate how dedicated this is to the single player experience when most card games are not. That being said, being an offline game means there are different gameplay issues you can have, and two big ones I have notice after playing this game for a long time. 1. This game is highly unbalanced. There are a range of cards that go from worthless to overpowered. While that is true is most card games, being offline means it doesn’t have to be fixed since there is no “competitive mode.” 2. There is a lack of content. As single player, it eventually just runs out of stuff to do. I do appreciate that developers are still updating, but I found myself finished with the main functions of the game much quicker than expected, which was disappointing for a paid game. The other modes beyond campaign offered no rewards or reason to play beyond trying to keep your attention which was also disappointing. Hoping to see more soon. ### 5/5 — Single Player Dedication and a Fantastic Game! *2019-06-06* This game has been an absolute blast to play daily. I want to thank the developers for creating a game focused on single player in the age of online only games. The gameplay is solid and the art is beautiful. Whenever you seem to hit a wall just edit your deck. You can come up with some really cool strategies this way. Please developers: continue to support and add to this game, even if it’s a premium pack. I was bummed when Hearthstone decided to not cater to the solo player. This is just as fun. One criticism is that the number of puzzle levels is really low. Some more of those would be nice. Thanks and great work! ### 5/5 — A rare gem *2019-06-02* I’m really enjoying this so far and am hoping to see more games like this one. So far I have completed the first part of the campaign with a couple of different types of characters... there’s actually a lot of depth and challenge. It’s nice to have a solid single player option instead of it all being about pvp. I would love to see more character avatar options, but that’s not very important. ### 5/5 — So fun - Highly recommended *2019-04-28* First, have to say something about the developers. This game proves that good developers don’t need to be terrible and greedy! An honest, old school ‘what you see is what you get’ game without loot boxes or ridiculous 100$ in app purchases. The game is good because all their energy went into making the game good, and selling it for a fair price. Cannot say enough - much respect to them! The game is great if you enjoy single player modes of hearthstone, slay the spire, or these types of single player card based rpg’s. It’s got a campaign mode and a rogue-like mode, as well as a couple other modes. Highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Great game *2019-04-24, version 1.43* I have been looking for a game that did not bother you every 5 minutes to buy gems, tokens, gold...and other crap. This game is fun, no IAP and I played it for 20 minutes so far and want to now buy it. Very good developers on a fun and great game. ### 5/5 — Very enjoyable game *2019-04-19* Simple to play, challenging at times, but a lot of fun. Unique systems allow you to mix hero skills and access particular abilities. Nice that it’s primarily offline and single player! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — You have to pay to get past the first 5 fights, and the game isn’t even complete *2022-11-01* Not only does the game hide the fact that you have to pay money to play after the first few fights, but the game also hides the fact that it is incomplete as well. Once you’re about 9/10 done with the purchased section of the game, it tells you that it’s not finished and that you should join the discord server for updates. Don’t charge for incomplete things ### 1/5 — No updates, promise broken *2022-02-10, version 1.57* The devs had guaranteed early on that this is a project he would keep working on and give content updates. He did not go through. ### 1/5 — Save your money *2020-04-28* The other reviews are correct. This game is not balanced at all. The developer put a lot of thought into the story, the different types of game play and the price structure, but that’s where it ends. I love a good challenge but the game crosses the line between satisfyingly challenging and frustratingly demotivating at the hydra battle (L5) then becomes exponentially worse. I don’t mind having to play a board 4-5 times to win but when you play dozens of times and still can’t pass it just becomes an annoying chore- and yes I’ve adjusted my decks. Additionally there is no motivation to do other things in the game- you don’t earn loot from the job board, the stores empty quickly and you can’t build your deck, and there are very few cards to craft. The other types of game play add no value to your campaign progress so they are mostly a waste of time. I love the idea of the gauntlet but wish you could restart a single season after dying at her than restarting the entire game. Again-frustratingly demotivating. It would also be nice if you gained experience points here because you have to fight a lot of battles. The puzzles are easy to defeat quickly and not worth replaying. The arena is probably the most fun, but the game doesn’t maintain any record of past victories once you’ve lost 3 times so it loses appeal quickly, especially since you don’t earn anything. Overall great intention, beautiful design, awful execution. ### 1/5 — 平衡性問題 *2020-02-18, version 1.52* 卡牌遊戲玩過很多，這款真的令人覺得絕望，懷疑開發人員有自己玩過這遊戲嗎？ 敵人一堆超不平衡的特技無限堆兵無限清場，還有自帶各種減傷讓某些職業根本沒法打，職業牌組也很不平衡。 還有繁體中文字體太小的問題，這點改簡體可以克服問題不大。 玩過起源覺得不錯就花錢解鎖這款，結果越玩到後面越火大，建議開發組好好思考一下要怎麼有挑戰性而不是讓敵人無腦堆兵堆傷害。 ### 1/5 — Such a shame. *2019-12-06* I bought this game because early on it is incredibly fun. But as you progress thru the campaign it becomes very difficult. Which would be fine except for the fact that it is super hard to get new cards. So you are forced to grind for hours to gain enough experience to gain a level and hope the cards are useful enough to get thru the roadblocks. This could be easily remedied by giving you more cards to buy with in game currency. I have plenty of money but nothing to spend it on... The other modes are separate from campaign so there is no relief there. After purchasing the game there is no micro transactions. So why make the game so frustrating? I would recommend saving your 3 bucks. ### 1/5 — Fun but crazy unbalanced *2019-05-02* Fun take on Hearthstone, but the difficulty zips up exponentially after the demo. By the 20th time you’ve lost the same fight it stops feeling like a challenge and starts just feeling like a kinda cheap way to pad out the game. ### 2/5 — Great game to start *2019-05-08* I’d highly recommend this to anyone who loves card games, but at a certain point around lvl 4 you find some insanely powerful units, and I get that just make the grind for exp easier to help players progress the Lvl and actually be able to beat these monsters, the krakens ability to hit you every turn for dmg equal to amount of turns passed is so op I have yet to find a way around that skill, hope to see more in the future and hopefully it won’t drop off later due to difficulties for 2.99 let us enjoy it! ### 3/5 — Pls finish the game 🥹 *2024-08-27, version 1.80* I was having fun but didn’t read the reviewss before buying that the game isn’t even finished lol 💔 I NEED MORE CONTENT !!! ### 3/5 — Fun game but it’s not finished *2019-11-26, version 1.52* I really enjoyed the game until I found out it wasn’t finished. I looked it up on Steam and it looks like the dev is working on a new game and probably won’t be adding much to this game anytime in the near future. ### 3/5 — Competent yet flawed *2019-09-03* Pros: The different classes are thematically cool and distinct. Encounters are well-balanced. Cons: There is no lower limit to deck size and no card randomness, which makes for very consistent, predictable deck performance. This is a BAD thing, because all of your games play out similarly which limits the depth of gameplay, makes the gameplay repetitive and severely cuts down on replayability. The game attempts to compensate by throwing encounters with wildly different starting conditions and circumstances at you which force you to tailor your deck to the encounter... but technically it’s a pain, since you need to remove all of the cards from your deck, then add the cards you need for the encounter, beat the encounter, then remove all of the cards in your deck again and then re-build your old deck, which is more tedious than doing your taxes. All in all, it’s fun for a while, but some poor design choices lead to the game getting old and overstaying its welcome pretty quickly. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 獎勵好多 *2024-09-24, version 1.80* 進去就領了很多的福利跟任務獎勵，還有活動登入第七天送呂玲綺跟專屬造型還有自選！真想要趕快跳到第七天登入?這邊除了有放置功能以外，我覺得最方便的就是武將的無痛換將！不用抽到新角色就要重頭開始養，一件繼承馬上可以上去參戰?不會在抽一堆卡片然後苦惱資源不足沒辦法使用，在這邊輕輕鬆鬆可以把角色戰力提升上去，擺脫需要天天上去掛到爆肝到遊戲體驗?開局跟著主線前進就獲得了好多位角色，我原本還以為蔡文姬要用抽的，沒想到初始就入隊，太開心了吧? ### 5/5 — 甘願入坑啦 *2024-09-22, version 1.80* 好玩辣!推薦五星 ### 5/5 — 讚喔 *2024-09-18, version 1.80* 遊戲設計畫質很好 好玩的遊戲 ### 5/5 — Pleased! *2022-06-15* What a great little game. Affordable and high quality. This is an excellent game for bust people who want to escape for a minute or two. Will buy from this developer in the future. ### 5/5 — Only played to lev 4 so far *2021-04-15* I can’t believe I didn’t see this game before. I think way too many games in the App Store not to have. Sure it’s not as polished as hearthstone and games like it put it he’s really well done. No pop-ups or timers or anything has bothered me you just get to enjoy the game at your own pace without having to pay constant money. Any game that is this good and respects me as a person deserves at least four stars. This game gets the extra star! I believe you gonna lock the full game for three dollars and it’s actually worth that so far. ### 5/5 — What’s next? *2020-04-03* So, I’ve killed all the monsters in Endarian Tomb location and don’t have open quests. What am I supposed to do now? Seems like the game is not quite ready. ### 5/5 — Very Nice! *2020-03-13* A great game. I’m only just getting started, but it’s really well put together. Great deck building. I love the crafting system. Combat is pitched just nicely between challenge and reward. I haven’t even levelled enough to start mixing in other classes, so still got all that to come! I’m looking forward to many happy hours with this. edit: It took me some time, but I got to grips with the tactics and strategies needed to win both quest encounters and job board matches on nightmare level. Now I’ve run out of missions! Please hurry up and release some more content! ### 5/5 — Endarian tomb *2019-10-19* Great game.love the campaign mode.best card game ever easily.but I finished the endarian tomb with my 5th level fighter 2nd level mage also finished all the quests. In the tomb the story said I found a black pit in the ground but I can’t get down it.the story seems to end here does it? In the endarian tomb? There seemed to be a lot more to go. If so how to proceed? Thanks for any suggestions.i just want to keep questing. A huge fan. ### 5/5 — カードゲームの中で戦略性は一番 *2019-08-19* 理由 1.カードパック購入の要素がそもそもないので課金の必要性がない 2.デッキの枚数に指定がないので排出率を調整できる 3.デッキに入れるカードとは別にスキルを3つセットできてコストを払えばいつでも(回数制限なあるが)使用可能なので、デッキのカードとのコンボを決めやすい つまり課金要素が少なく手札事故も起きにくく運要素も少ない 全て英語だからストーリーとかよく分からないけどカードの効果はわかりやすいからバカな俺でも分かったしルールも簡単なので大丈夫 だからもっと人気になってください ### 5/5 — 字太小 *2019-07-23, version 1.52* 很有趣的遊戲，但字小到看的眼睛快脫窗了，還是看不清楚牌卡的說明，這要叫人怎麼儲值解鎖來支持？ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
