User Reviews

Overall, players praise The Fox in the Forest for its approachable trick-taking gameplay, beautiful art and presentation, and a clever scoring twist, plus a solid, ad-free port. Recurrent downsides across reviews are heavy/flashy animations (with requests to disable them), AI that isn’t consistently challenging, and several UI/UX quirks (flavor text, small text, drag interactions, and visual cues). A few reports of stability issues exist. The game is regarded as a strong port with room for refinement.

Pros

Easy to learn thanks to a strong tutorial and clear rules (beginner-friendly).
Beautiful art design, card art, and ambient music contribute to a strong, appealing presentation.
Engaging twist on trick-taking with unique scoring and strategic depth.
Smooth UI and a solid port feel; generally good performance and battery life.
No ads or IAP and overall good value for a premium card game.

Cons

Animations and visual effects are flashy or distracting; many reviewers want a fast-play option or a way to disable animations.
AI can be weak or inconsistent, making it too easy to win and not challenging enough.
UI/UX quirks and control issues recur: flavor-text reading is flaky, small text size, drag-and-drop/read interactions can be finicky, and some color/visual cues (like the scoring wheel) can be confusing.
Some reviews call for a more native UI approach (e.g., SwiftUI) or critique the 2D presentation as non-native.
Occasional stability bugs (e.g., crashes) are reported, though less consistently.

Recent reviews

This is just a very pleasant and easy trick-taking game. It has a few surprises here and there. And the scoring is pretty unique. Gives the game an added layer of skill and finesse. The art design is beautiful. Music too. I’d highly recommend this game to people who enjoy card games. And for beginners, it’s an easy trick-taking game to understand, and perhaps it’ll get you interested in that “genre” of card games.

FitF is a great trick-taking card game which we play on the tabletop a lot and I was excited to have an app to play against too. Unfortunately, the visuals just make it unpleasant and unfun to play. Every single trick has So! Many! Bright! Explosions! Of! Dazzling! Light! It’s slow and once you’ve seen it once it’s just annoying to see it every single time. It’s so distracting it’s hard to remember what was played by the end of the trick. Give it a ‘fast play’ mode that turns off the animations and lets you concetrate on the game play. Then it’s a 4/5 game or better. Other small tweaks: improve the AI, and show the original card art whenever a card is played… that’s what everyone expects to see.
