Review summary

Users praise deep, deliberate deck-building, high replayability (multiple characters/starting decks), a strong mobile port with crossplay, addictive gameplay, and no microtransactions. Repeated criticisms are uneven difficulty tuning, mobile touch/usability issues, a lack of persistent progression between runs, a steep learning curve, and some minor UI/polish bugs.

Pros

Deep, strategic deck-building with more player control than similar games (often compared to Slay the Spire)
High replayability and variety — 4 characters with 3 starting decks each, many challenge runs and difficulty options
Well‑ported to mobile: smooth performance, touchscreen-friendly layout for many users, and easy Steam/mobile crossplay
Addictive, satisfying gameplay with snappy card interactions, good art/music, and lots of content to explore
No microtransactions; active developer support and an engaged community

Cons

Difficulty balance concerns — many say Normal is too easy while Hard/Impossible feels excessively punishing
Mobile touch/usability problems reported (mis-taps when purging/playing cards, occasional UI scaling/background display issues)
Lack of persistent progression or unlockable rewards between runs; finishing runs can feel unrewarding
Steep learning curve and many simultaneous effects/rules; card text/tooltips can be condensed and confusing to new players
Minor polish and animation/UI bugs remain (rough edges noted in multiple reviews)

2025-01-27	Vi*****	Too many rules. It's hard to keep track of what's going on. There are way too many effects going on at once

2025-01-20	Ya*****	Like slay the spire but with more control in building your deck, has 4 characters that each have 3 different starting decks to pick from and tons of challenge runs to play and with many difficulty settings to play from that make. Easy 5/5 for me, although i feel the game needs abit more content like maybe some new 1st enemy encounters and maybe a third floor would be cool, make it half the size but more streamlined with rewards and more elites, it could be a difficulty modifier.

2024-11-23	Va*****	This game has all the mechanics you'd expect from an adventure card game, with a few interesting twists. The gameplay will be familiar to fans of the genre, and is definitely worth the price as-is. I would like to see a little more polish in the interface and animations, but it's still in early access. The game is a little rough around the edges, but it definitely does a fantastic job of scratching that CCG itch.

2024-11-17	Aa*****	I absolutely love this game! It is very similar to StS but I feel it has improved on that style. It gives you more control over each run. All 4 of the characters are good though they play very different from each other. My major complaint with this game is the difficulty balancing. When selecting difficulty you have intro, normal, hard, impossible & impossible+. I have successfully completed around 50 runs on normal yet not 1 on hard, 6 attempts so far. Normal is too easy, hard is too hard.

2024-11-12	Pe*****	I love this game, and the more I play the more I love it. The amount of control you have is satisfying and the wins feel earnt and rewarding. Up there with my favourite deck builders and well worth the price

2024-10-28	Da*****	A game so good I bought it twice. It's a card building roguelike with its own identity. Easier than spire at a baseline and feels more like a sealed deck run instead. That's in part due to the design differences. There are 4 characters, each with 3 variations on starting deck that push you in different directions. Then the game is balanced around drawing to a fixed hand size, while maintaining energy. This lets you choose when to hold cards freely, or turn cards into energy to bank for later.

2024-10-27	Yo*****	Majorly fun and addictive I have the steam version, and honestly I think they did a brilliant idea of thinking "if we just advertise this is also on phones they'll probably buy it to take it with them." And here I am! Did the introductory run, then the normal run. Excellent game. Only thing I'll say was a downer. Introductory run, 1 stage =7,000 reward. Normal run I got to the fault = 11,000 reward. Wth?!

2024-10-04	Lu*****	already played and loved the steam version. while the gameplay is identical to the steam version, the usabiontrollity sadly is worse, somehow I frequently play cards when I'm trying to purge them , and on a rare occasion I play cards when trying to look at them. I hope at least the first point can be fixed, maybe make the purge area bigger? it's fine on PC , but on mobile with touch controls it doesn't seem work as well.

2024-09-08	E *****	This game was recommended to me via the supporter pack (Via Dawncaster). It's a neat little deck builder game that is a great alternative to other deck builder games. Like dawncaster, you can play this game offline. So, if you're like me and hate talking to people at social events. This games great for keeping your mind entertained for hrs on end.
