HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (18 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Crashes and freezes26%

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Every time I tried to play the game it would load to show a moon over some kind of house, and promptly close out by itself.
★★★★★ Keeps crashing when I get in, it won't let me play, but I love it
★★★★★ After getting through to the second stage and opening the hideout I crashed.
Bugs, things not working20%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Odd because I could play it the other day. Can't reach the developer's webpage either.
★★★★★ Won't transition past tutorial.
★★★★★ If its the same account why doesn't work across devices??
Price and subscription14%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I should also note that there are no additional functions, levels or DLC which would justify a paywall.
★★★★★ Too bad I wasted money on this game.
★★★★★ Totally not worth any amount of money, every game is almost identical and has very little customization or change in gameplay from your choices
Wrong or poor results9%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ All reviews auto context to “stealth game” because that's what's mentioned. But it's not stealth at all. It's a ridiculous choose the low number game. Excessively boring and full of AI slop.
★★★★★ Tutorial had some item that the fidgety drag drop placed on the wrong square.
★★★★★ When I do win a match, more than half of the treasure I've gotten from chests is literally useless garbage...again leaving me mostly empty-handed.

Looks great10%

16 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Game has lots of potential, but doesn't offer much motivation to persevere. Either advance along the map, number the “levels”, add new cards, increase stealth/challenge, or offer different layouts (4x4, 2x2, or 3x4)…
★★★★★ But how do I purchase the full version? Can't figure it out.
★★★★★ Fun, smart, and a macabre design, this is easily one of the most genuinely fun games I've played in a while.
Worth the money10%

16 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ But otherwise it is a fun completely free game.
★★★★★ Definitely worth it to but the full game.
★★★★★ Can still be enjoyed on free to play but worth upgrading to support this developer.
Fast6%

10 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ This is a pretty good game. Honestly, with the new model, there's no reason not to try for free and then decide if you want to pay. Love the card aesthetic, and the art in general. Infinitely replay-able strategic…
★★★★★ To that end, there's no shortage of quick one-off games for me to play, but most are severely lacking in quality and depth.
★★★★★ Card Thief is EXCELLENT, but what was even better was Arnold Rauers very quick response to the issue of the game crashing on my iPad 2.

Can’t play. Error on opening the game.

Odd because I could play it the other day. Can’t reach the developer’s webpage either.

★★★★★Sep 7, 2026
Couldn’t get through the tutorial

I got to a level in the tutorial, where you’re supposed to end your route on the hide card… Except I didn’t have enough sneak points to get close to it.. Somehow, I started the level with 3 sneak points, and I couldn’t exit out, couldn’t make a path through the game either. Just so the devs know…

★★★★★Aug 11, 2026
Muito divertido

Jogo com uma arte belíssima, cativante, simples e sem enrolação. Baita opção para passar o tempo e não ver a hora passar kkkkk, recomendo.

★★★★★Jul 4, 2026
……

★★★★★Jul 4, 2026
Won’t load

★★★★★Jul 1, 2026
Well done

The art is beautiful. I love the aesthetic design for the menu; it really adds to the feeling of being in a thief guild. The mechanics are brilliant, and the emergent strategies that lead to greater success within the game feel thematically relevant.

Store description

Card Thief is a solitaire-style stealth card game that transforms your deck into a shadowy world of cunning heists and daring escapes. Sneak through the darkness as a master thief. Extinguish torches, pickpocket guards, and steal precious treasure without getting caught. Every card you flip is a calculated risk. Every move could be your last. From the makers of Card Crawl, the hit indie card dungeon crawler, Card Thief distills the tension of classic stealth games into a sleek, strategic card game you can play in minutes. Easy to learn, endlessly deep. Plan. Steal. Escape. Repeat. With a rich layer of tactical decision-making, risk/reward choices, and roguelike replayability, Card Thief is the perfect pick-up-and-play strategy card game for fans of stealth, puzzle games, and solo card games alike. Features - Solitaire-style stealth gameplay with no internet required - 4 unique heists with distinct enemies, traps, and obstacles - 12 unlockable and upgradable equipment cards with unique abilities - Hire 10 thieves, each with special gameplay rules - Mini deck-building mechanics for deep strategic customization - Daily Heist mode with global leaderboards - Roguelike replayability so every run plays differently - Perfect session length of 2 to 3 minutes per game - Offline play, great for travel
