I just happened to check to see if this developer had come out with any new games, and was super excited to see he just came out with this one! I have played all the other games by this developer in the past, and they are always clever and well done. They’re also always priced fairly with no ads or IAP. And the file sizes are small and they don’t drain your battery. And they always save your progress so you can play when you have a short break. Everything is done right. The tutorial is excellent, and this game is quick to learn so you can start playing. It’s a really enjoyable mashup of card game and dungeon crawler. I look forward to playing this more and more. There’s lots of variety and replayability here. Thank you developer for doing such a great job and monetizing fairly too. The App Store needs more good guys like you. I highly recommend this game!

It’s a low commitment game that was thought out quite well!! Been playing it for a number of weeks on and off. Again… very well thought. I like it. I do see there is likely going to be a cap here at some point. But it’s a loose cap, Unlike a full-blown campaign though with a clear end. Good play. Would certainly buy again and I recommend to friends. I have had no issues with gameplay or software bugs. And I note to developer—I really love the different challenges. I think it lends itself to different people’s game preferences.

This game has a problem that many roguelikes share, which is that some of its “difficulty” arises from the statistical risk that it might generate a board which is impossible to beat even with perfect play. At lower levels of difficulty this is acceptable because it’s reasonably rare, but in some of the game modes, and with some of the characters, particularly the extremely imbalanced/gimmicky ones, you’ll find yourself losing because of an impenetrable wall of damage that no amount of preparation can forestall. This is frustrating. The counterpart to this is that the RNG sometimes produces games that are arbitrarily too easy, even at a higher difficulty setting. Victories achieved this way are unfulfilling. That feeling of unearned victory bleeds over into a suspicion that all of the victories were due to flukes. The interplay of the various game item cards encourages a range of play styles and makes each character feel unique, which is nice. The corresponding downside to this, which I think others have pointed out, is that you are often at the mercy of the RNG and you will wind up often using one or two default strategies based on the first couple items you happen to get. Overall, this game is not particularly difficult. I got to 100% completion on this game in about 3 weeks of casual play. I like the game’s visual style, and it has a fun dungeon-crawl-throwback aesthetic.
