Ratings and reviews

I've only been playing for an hour or so (so far), but the core Gameplay loop and mechanics are really solid. It's a fun mash up of poker, BINGO, and Roguelike RPGs. I'm looking forward to beating the game with the free character (archer), and then giving the paid characters a try. As of now, this is an easy recommend for a game that I imagine will only get better with time and a little bit of polish.

Great game! Exactly what we were looking for. This is very similar to an old iOS game called "Sword & Poker" from the early 2010s but this one is better. The In-App Purchase is to buy the full game which includes additional classes, but you can play all the way through with the free Ranger class. Honestly, this is so good we're happy to support the developer.

Finally someone has remade one of my favorite games of all time. It's very similar to Sword and Poker but a tiny bit less polished. The lack of polish is not a problem, however, since what made Sword and Poker so good was the gameplay. My favorite addition here is the copious amounts of additional charms and spells. I have only done one run through but I could see myself playing this a LOT.
