Fun, addictive27%

104 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Only mobile game I've enjoyed and I think it's awesome and in a league of it's own if you like deck builders.
★★★★★ Fights with daze are just a grind and not fun.
★★★★★ Loads of replayability, fun builds of different kinds, good mechanics, and a good draft mode for when you want a break from story mode.
Worth the money9%

33 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Even has an official free companion app with spoilers for random events.
★★★★★ All cards are free, and only cosmetics and new zones are paid if you want.
★★★★★ The build variety is huge and all of the card packs are free, give this game a bit of time to learn and this will be one of the best card games you can buy.
Looks great4%

★★★★★ sometimes can be a little frustrating with ui/ux but its a minor gripe.
★★★★★ Some great art design as well.
★★★★★ Also the latest UI update is bad, all labels are now smaller and with dark bland looking background which is harder to read and lost it's flavour visually, seems like many visuals have been made more bland and less…

Easy to use4%

15 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ (Decks with simple medium size compositions seem to have more lag now) I can remember it slowly getting worse over time as I play (Android 16 OS - Model Samsung A35) only recently have I purposely turn down the speed…
★★★★★ There is no easy way of looking at cards that you have unlocked and filtering them for specific keywords or colors.
★★★★★ It was pretty easy but yeah initial runs were very frustrating I guess that's how it is supposed to be.

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026

Having trouble clicking with this one. I can see that there is a lot of depth here, and the quality of the game is high. However, I think the sticking point for me is that the run just takes way too long to get interesting, especially for a phone game which I would expect to be more friendly to shorter play sessions.

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026

Download this now! In the endless sea of mobile game trash, this is how games should be. F2P with 100% no ads gets you started. Reasonably priced expansions with no gatch or random in app purchases. Huge amount of content and endlessly replay variety. Even has an official free companion app with spoilers for random events.

★★★★★Oct 12, 2026

Brilliant!

★★★★★Oct 10, 2026

amazing rogue like deck builder with different classes. Exactly what I was looking for! But this game lacks randomized combat more, it gets to repetitive after a while

★★★★★Oct 10, 2026

Not all that it's hyped up to be. Boring gameplay with no real path choices. Once you've played through 3 or 4 times, you've seen everything there is to offer. Some synergies are fun, most are way overpowered. it's just way too easy. Pirate outlaws or slay the spire are much more fun. Hard pass on this one...

★★★★★Oct 4, 2026

By far the best deck builder/rpg I've played. The app is the star. You can resize, split screen and floating window that thing. Battery draw is minimal so I run and play this while playing a sim. You can put this wherever you want on the screen. The game itself has it all. Classes, play styles, speed runs, weekly community challenges. All the dlc's are good. I even bought the supporter packs after like a year on my tablet.
