Reviews
- The game offers a unique twist on traditional solitaire by focusing on collecting gold cards rather than clearing the entire board.
- It can be a relaxing game that provides a good escape and allows players to think through puzzles.
- The music is enjoyable, and the game handles full screen properly, making it somewhat user-friendly despite its flaws.
- The game is a reskin of many other titles from the same developer, lacking originality and offering nothing new to the genre.
- Technical issues such as poor graphics, lack of resolution options, and a mobile app feel detract from the overall experience for PC gamers.
- Players are forced to complete entire sets of levels without the option to save progress mid-set, which can be frustrating and time-consuming.

The story in Butler Story 1 and 2 is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with reviewers noting that it offers no narrative elements or charm, merely presenting straightforward card gameplay. Additionally, the graphics are described as repetitive and sometimes inappropriate, detracting from any potential storytelling experience. Overall, players seeking a compelling story will likely be disappointed.
“I prefer solitaire games with a map where you can stop anytime, go back and repeat a single hand/level and perfect score. I especially like ones with cute stories, but these had no story.”
“Nothing special, no story, only straight card games.”
“The story follows no Grimm's tale that I ever read, and the graphics are not only repetitive but often inappropriate, since the same backgrounds are used 3 or 4 times each.”

The gameplay features a classic +1/-1 solitaire format with two modes: one allows players to replay individual levels, while the other requires completing sets of 10 levels. Players must first engage with the newbie mode before unlocking the pro mode.
“The usual +1/-1 solitaire with two gameplay modes: one lets you replay individual levels (my preference), while the other allows you to play through entire sets of 10 levels. You can only start pro mode after playing a bit on newbie.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, though some users find the sound effect for removing a card to be irritating.
