  • The art style and music are well-executed, enhancing the overall atmosphere of the game.
  • The gameplay can become repetitive and grindy, especially at higher levels with little long-term progression.
  • Luck plays a significant role in combat, often leading to frustrating situations where players feel they have no control over outcomes.

  • gameplay
    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is a unique blend of turn-based mechanics, dungeon crawling, and blackjack, offering a simple yet engaging experience that appeals to fans of both genres. While the game features a fun and addictive loop, many players feel that it lacks depth and refinement, particularly in late-game strategy and class mechanics. Overall, it is praised for its concept and graphics, but players desire more complexity and options to enhance the gameplay experience.

    • “Very solid combination of two addicting styles of gameplay.”
    • “The blend between a dungeon crawler and the classic card gameplay is something that I think has been a bit underutilized.”
    • “The blackjack battle mechanic blends well with the 8-bit style dungeon crawler and really sets it apart from other similar titles.”
    • “That's about everything positive I can say, because the gameplay isn't refined yet.”
    • “The level up and class mechanics are kind of confusing, and everything is mostly luck-based.”
    • “Luck-based gameplay for the most part, and if you accept that for what it is, it can be fun for a bit.”
  • monetization
    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the monetization strategy of the game is well-received, with many players appreciating the option to remove ads for a small fee and the unobtrusive nature of the ads that are present. While some users noted that the game offers limited long-term content, the lack of invasive ads and the choice to engage with them for rewards were highlighted positively. However, there are concerns about occasional manipulative tactics to encourage ad viewing and some dissatisfaction with the game's item management.

    • “In addition, there are no ads.”
    • “I feel like that alone is worth at least giving it a shot; there are no ads!”
    • “This is a crazy quality game; I feel bad just paying one time for the game. You should slip some microtransactions in there!”
    • “There's a lot, especially in the free version, to drive wasting time and point you at ads.”
    • “Hey, so considering I paid for the ad-free version of this game, do you suppose you could make it so that I'm not picking up 'worthless junk' literally 80% of the time?”
    • “Manipulation at times to make you go to watch app advertising.”
  • graphics
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the simple yet charming art style and 16-bit aesthetic that captures the traditional roguelike feel. However, some users express disappointment in the color palette and overall visual execution, suggesting that while the graphics are enjoyable, they do not fully meet expectations. Overall, the art style is a highlight for many, contributing positively to the game's atmosphere.

    • “The graphics, while simple, capture the traditional roguelike feel without resorting to ASCII art.”
    • “I love the art style and it's what drew me.”
    • “Enjoyable roguelike with a pretty beautiful art style.”
    • “The music really sets the mood for this game, but if I had to nitpick, the visual graphics don't match completely, as I expected a much brighter color palette (with the black background, of course).”
    • “Fun-ish game, terrible graphics.”
    • “Wouldn't recommend really other than the graphics.”
  • grinding
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, often feeling overwhelmed by enemies and limited in options beyond farming for resources. The random nature of the card mechanics adds to the frustration, as it lacks the depth needed to make the grinding feel rewarding. While some appreciate the game overall, many agree that it becomes grindy quickly and could benefit from improved navigation and camera controls.

    • “There is very little you can do aside from grinding, trying to find temporary weapons, and desperately searching for the exit before the dozen enemies on screen can devour you.”
    • “Its random nature is too much (since it's a card game) and lacks depth that could make this RNG/farming worthwhile.”
    • “Grinding game with frequent death and minor variations, not really a roguelike.”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its ability to set the mood and enhance the overall experience, particularly appealing to fans of retro 8-bit styles. However, some users feel that the soundtrack could benefit from a greater variety of tracks, as well as a more cohesive visual presentation to match the music's vibrant energy. Overall, the music is a standout feature that contributes positively to the game's atmosphere.

    • “Great game, I really like the music and art style.”
    • “I love the music, but it needs more than just one great song.”
    • “Easy to learn, can play with one hand, great music.”
    • “The music really sets the mood for this game, but if I had to nitpick, the visual graphics don't match completely, as I expected a much brighter color palette (with the black background, of course).”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is engaging and addictive, but users report significant stability issues, particularly with the screen freezing when attempting to revive after dying, preventing them from accessing the available options.

    • “Great game and very addicting; however, whenever I die, it comes up with the options to pay for the game, quit, or watch an ad to revive. The screen always freezes, and I can't choose any of those options.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it impossible to enjoy the experience. Stability is a major issue.”
    • “I love the gameplay, but the constant lag and random crashes ruin the fun. It needs serious stability improvements.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the humor in the game to be enjoyable and entertaining, highlighting its comedic elements positively.

    • “It is also really funny; I like it.”
