iPhone version is cut off at the top.

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.

I already bought the game but now it wants me to buy again?

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.

Crashes on launch

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.

Good game but locked already-paid-for content

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.

Broken By Update

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.

Love this game

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)

Can’t restore

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

Fun Rouge / Dungeon Style Game

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.

Good buy

This game is tight although i cant get a bard win

Great game

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

I guess the update wasn’t a good idea

The game used to be enjoyable til the update came and now I’m getting destroyed within the first couple fights. It’s not that I’m not reading my cards and strategizing as I play but it seems almost as if the game is deliberately not giving me good cards. I can’t use cards that are hitting 1 or 2 and the boss has like 55 hp. It’s just not efficient. If the next update improves the game, the rating will change. It’s a good for sure but I’m just not enjoying what’s happened to it.

And for the people complaining about price, it’s worth it. Just let the dev(s) just tweak a few things it’ll be as good as gold.

One of the best - until latest update

Fantastic card game, quick to play with interesting options and approaches with a lot of replayability both within and across classes and elemental choices. But latest update has turned it into a slog and what was once challenging has become frustrating and discouraging. Used to be a lot of fun to play but no more.
Hopefully next update will be an improvement instead of a regression.

Confusing, but clean

The game starts off very intimidating. You’re not given any sort of useful descriptions or direction on how to build a class, and frankly some of the enemies are BS with sub-optimal builds. However, the game is very clean, interesting, and exciting, but not very special to the other options

Great game

Great game super addictive and easy to grasp, I love that I can close it anytime I want and when I open it it will be around the same spot without fail, on my wish is that there was more variety of races, and cards, and also maybe the cards you unlock could be more unique not just cool borders around existing cards but still amazing game none the less

Great game

This is a fantastic title and what I would call is the dark souls of games, criticism here is your mana should refresh like your actions do, instead of only being limited if you don’t own a mana recharge card -_-

Amusing until the Big Boss appears

This could be a pleasant deck builder but a big boss with three time the player’s hit points that begins battle invulnerable, reduces player’s attacks to pin pricks, discards player’s hand every second round and does massive damage is, to say the very least, poorly designed.
The poor design of the final encounter renders all that came before pure tedium.
The devs missed three important rules that make a game enjoyable, “Balance, balance & balance”

Great game!!

Really enjoy this game! It’s complex and fun to play!!

Fantastic game!

With tons of different combinations and a huge card library, this game has devoured hours!

Amazing game

It is free. It is really good. More diversity than Slay the Spire but without the animation and more card focused. By the end you want to play again.

And it is free. There are supposedly paid races and classes that I have not ran into yet. I have two full playthroughs with basic races and classes. I think some of the other races and classes are the paid content. Definitely worth giving the devs money and probably will search for a way to do so soon.

Great game

This is a fantastic little game. Satisfies my MTG and Hearthstone desire.
