### 3/5 — iPhone version is cut off at the top.

*2022-02-18*

Game is great, but the iPhone version is cut off at the top of the screen, stopping the player from seeing some important info. Doesn’t make the game unplayable, but it is distracting and annoying, stopping full enjoyment.

### 1/5 — I already bought the game but now it wants me to buy again?

*2021-04-20*

I reinstalled and now it’s telling me to buy the game again. That seems like a rip off. So I bought Slay the Spire instead of repurchasing this, and I’m having way more fun.

### 1/5 — Crashes on launch

*2021-02-02*

I guess I shouldn't have updated; the app info claims this supports iOS 9.0 and up, but after updating the app it crashes on launch on my iOS 10 device.

### 1/5 — Good game but locked already-paid-for content

*2021-01-26*

This is a good game but I shouldn’t have to buy it twice.
I paid for it when I initially downloaded it in May, 2019.  I enjoyed it, including experimenting with all of the classes.  Now I tried to return in January, 2021, only to discover that almost all of the classes are now locked behind an in-app purchase.
I get giving a taste for free and asking to pay to unlock the full game, but those of us who owned the game before the switch should have credit for the in-app purchase.  (And yes, the restore button does nothing.)
This would be a five-star game without this issue.

### 1/5 — Broken By Update

*2021-01-20*

I’m not sure what the new update did because it broke my game. Now all content is locked again and I can’t restore my purchases.

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2021-01-04*

Have been playing on and off for almost a year. I absolutely love this game and wish they would have some updates or new classes/races. I’d definitely pay to unlock those. 

I got the most usability for my buck out of this game. Highly recommend if you are into these type of card games as it’s the best one out there. (Similar to night of the full moon with more sepia/artsy graphics versus full moon being more modern looking)

### 1/5 — Can’t restore

*2021-01-01*

I just updated the game and it says unlock all but it won’t let me restore nor unlock it and say requires internet connection when I have one nothing happens when I’m the the purchase screen I bought this game near the time it first came out and now idk how to get my stuff back

### 4/5 — Fun Rouge / Dungeon Style Game

*2020-09-03*

Positives 
1. You get your money’s worth
2. Fun and at times addictive 
3. Well thought out & put together for a simple Rouge / Dungeon Style Game 

Negatives
1.  Need Landscape Mode, especially when you have a lot of cards (swiping left to right to get to a specific card led to too many FAT FINGER mistakes!!)
2.  Really poor documentation to get player up to speed; learning curve was unnecessarily too steep
3.  Only one save file.  Seriously?! You can’t create five (5) separate game files in case I want to switch Classes, etc.  How about one save file per class.
4.  One “default” mode: I miss the days of at least 5 different levels from Easy to “Nearly Impossible”

Fix the negatives and I will gift the game to my friends.  Nice simple game that takes about a few minutes (if you die fast) to a few hours to kill the last Boss Mob.  Thanks for the game.

### 5/5 — Good buy

*2020-06-13*

This game is tight although i cant get a bard win

### 5/5 — Great game

*2020-04-29, version 1.84*

Gets deeper as you play, lots of classes and cards. Good rouge like for the phone. Looking forward to updates
