Review summary

Reviewers generally like the solid card-based roguelike gameplay and Slay the Spire vibe with good mobile performance, but repeatedly complain about heavy monetization, bugs/progress-loss, and a lack of originality. They also note limited card variety and grind to access more content. Overall, fun when stable, but plagued by monetization and stability concerns.

Pros

Solid core deck-building roguelike gameplay
STS-inspired with familiar mechanics that fans can enjoy
Good performance/graphics/animations on mobile
Runs well on most devices with accessible mobile experience

Cons

Aggressive monetization: paywalls, energy/ads gating, and costly ad-removal options
Frequent bugs/crashes and progress issues (freezes, reloads, stalled runs)
Perceived lack of originality: many view it as a clone of Slay the Spire
Limited card variety and grinding needed to unlock more content

2025-11-26	Ca*****	This game actually has all of the makings of a fun and unique RPG. Even being willing to pay for a monthly pass to have no adds. It is built similarly to most card crawlers, but all added equipment slots are locked behind $2 + purchases per slot. If you don’t mind spending $100 for a $30 game this is your game.

2025-10-15	Ro*****	Great game. For real. But the goblobot III encounter is bugged and you can’t get through it. Truly annoying after forking out $50

2025-09-02	80*****	The paywall hits quickly. There is also a serious problem when the game freezes/crashes. Not worth anyone’s time. Response to dev: Not worth my time. Apparently this is a ripoff from another company. Why would I help you?!

2025-07-07	Na*****	So immediately I realized this is a shameless clone of slay the spire with predatory microtranstctions. Gameplay is solid because it copied Slay the spire. Art direction is stiff and boring.

2025-06-28	Th*****	If you don’t pay to remove the ads from the game, you will spend most of your time watching ads and waiting for energy to regenerate. It’s like $13 a month, which is too much for what it gives you. The price should be reduced or you should get more for that amount. A lot of games that have a monthly charges give you a lot more for less cost. At later levels it becomes impossible to set up a good run if you aren’t paying, with or without ads. You select hindrances and blessings before each run, but 1/3 of the options are locked behind the paywall. In addition to that, I’ve had the game crash multiple times. When I go to reload, it’ll load to a previous run or way behind my current progress. It has even reloaded me behind a shop encounter, failed to give me the cards I purchased, yet has somehow kept all of the silver I spent. This was somewhat devastating to the run I was in as I had spent 15k silver on the run and only had 2k left. Without being able to purchase the cards I already spent the money on, it was a quick loss. It was extra frustrating after having spent so much energy to refresh the level enough to get a good roll on hindrances/blessings. I’m not planning on purchasing the no ad pass again, so at the end of this month I’ll be deleting the app. It’s a shame. It would be an amazingly fun game if it wasn’t so greedy.

2025-04-29	no*****	Slay the Spire rip off with no difficulty, a monthly (+$10) ad removal pass with no permanent option, and the ability to spend real money IN THE RUN. Really really lazy rip.

2025-01-20	/0*****	The game is good for almost any phone. You can go afk a bit during gameplay ie bathroom break. No set deck change as you venture. You are able to upgrade and purchase. One interesting thing I like that they made but don’t personally like it in game play is the risk options in dungeons. You can get something good or seriously hurt yourself. I usually hurt myself. Anyway Atleast try the game. I’m sure you will atleast keep the game. Doesn’t take much space and you don’t experience constant upsetting defeats.

2024-10-31	Du*****	you improved some graphics and animations, and ruined everything else. The rewards were already too low, and yet you made us have to wait even more for energy refills now. barely playable. just waiting and waiting for a tiny amount of energy.
