Review summary

The app offers a fun, well-designed digital version of Exploding Kittens with witty graphics and sound that fans enjoy. Players appreciate online multiplayer but wish for more robust social features like friend lists and better matchmaking. Some report AI difficulty imbalance and RNG issues, while others note UI quirks like turn indicators and rematch bugs. Overall, it is praised for affordability and entertaining gameplay but could improve social and quality-of-life features.

Pros

Faithful digital adaptation of the physical Exploding Kittens card game with humor and unique style.
Enjoyable gameplay balancing simplicity, luck, and strategy suitable for multiple players and AI.
Engaging graphics and hilarious, well-voiced sound effects that add personality to the game.
Multiplayer modes with online play and chat options enhance social gaming experience.
Affordable pricing for the base game and expansions compared to physical card packs.

Cons

Online multiplayer lacks comprehensive social features like adding friends or playing with strangers nearby.
Limited player counts in online games; desire for more players and customizable game options.
AI difficulty balance issues: expert level seems unfair due to RNG bias, easy level too easy, medium quite hard.
Inconveniences with UI such as no persistent turn indicators and rematch functionality glitches.
Purchasing multiple expansions does not allow combining them simultaneously in gameplay.

2026-05-20	Nu*****	Dead Lobbies. Don't Bother buying this, especially if you bought the in-game expansions. The base game itself has dead lobbies as well.

2026-05-10	Ro*****	excellent game, I love the art (unlike the second game), love sound effects (unlike the second game), love the user interface. My only wish is for seeing the number of players who queued for specific expansion in matchmaking before I queue for any of them. like a small number that shows, for example, how many are now queued for base game or for latest expansion.

2026-05-10	St*****	I would like a refund, it says you can play with 2 player offline, there is no option to, the reason I bought the game is to play with other people in the same room as mean but this isn't possible

2026-04-26	Lu*****	is a fantastic digital take on the card game. While gameplay varies slightly, it stays true to its roots. The quirky characters, smooth interface, rematch feature, and genuinely funny interactions and animations make it easy to jump in and keep playing. A really enjoyable, well-executed adaptation. (Long time The Oatmeal and Exploding Kittens fan).

2026-04-06	Ni*****	Game isn't as fun as the actual card game, no NOPE cards, most importantly no single device local multiplayer; if you want to play with friends you're better off buying the actual card game (might be cheaper as each person has to spend $5 to buy this)
