Ratings and reviews

LOVE this game, but NEEDS bug fixes! Everything you've heard is true; the game is incredibly addicting. A unique combination of poker, solitaire, and a roguelite experience. But there is a massive sound bug that completely removes all music and sound effects from the game. Not sure what caused it, but even after uninstalling, still no sound. Hoping for a fix soon! 🤞

To preface this, I love Balatro. It is my game of the year and I've spent countless hours playing it. I bought it again for mobile, and I'm so happy to be able to play it on my phone and I do all of the time. Unfortunately, there are issues with the port. There are bugs, such as how sometimes tapping a joker or consumable briefly can cause UI elements intended for only the PC version to show. The more major issue however is that there are lots of performance issues that require a relaunch to fix

This is the best Android game. If Wordle didn't erase my streaks, it would be the only thing that comes close to Balatro in the past decade of Android games, but unless you remotely play a PC/console game to your phone, nothing else comes close. It is only slightly flawed in that the interactions of separate card effects aren't obvious most of the time; Bosses disabling Wildcards, for example, doesn't make sense. Whether it's fair is a question I can't answer either. It's just great
