Best card rogue-like on iOS!! Update: pretty sure this game has a Tony Todd Night of the Living Dead remake quote. Can I give this a hundred stars?
★★★★★Fantastic rougelite with unique and replayable mechanics
I am a huge fan of roguelite games and this one hits all the marks. Multiple resources, fun build around synergies, and enough diversity of characters to keep me coming back again and again.
On top of that, it's a great ios game, no ads, no in app purchases, simple but meaningful controls, I love it.
★★☆☆☆New visual bug on iOS 26 very frustrating
A new bug on iOS 26 causes the cards to refresh when moving forward. Very distracting and basically unplayable now. iPhone 15 pro.
Fun game when you can play it
★★★★☆Great gameplay mechanic, luck-based power up progression?
Overall the game has good meat on its bones but the power ups you gain throughout the levels feel disconnected making a "build" feel more like luck than anything else. You can go half a run without selecting any power ups with synergy and the even having tons of money to buy entire stores at once won't help.
That said, some may find it fun enough to skip what feels like a luck-based upgrade system every run.
★★★☆☆Ios 26 bug
In ios 26 the cards now glitch/rearrange every time you move. This is a great game but the bug needs fixing. Will update if it gets fixed.
