Best game on iOS

I play a lot of deck builders, it’s one of my favorite genres. I’ve spent ample time in Slay the Spire, Monster Train, Pirates Outlaws, Breach Warderes, Dungeon Maker, and many others. Dawncaster is the best of the best and it’s the game I keep going back to. There are hundreds of builds. Some can be overpowered if you get lucky on the RNG, some will make you struggle. Most of the critical reviews will amount to “it’s too hard.” They’re not wrong, the game is very difficult (even on normal), but each time you go through a round, you get some experience used to unlock new weapons, skills, and perks of each class. As for the price, it’s more than worth it even without the DLC. Adding the DLC is optional, and adds various other cards, builds, and abilities. I’ve purchased every possible upgrade to support the devs and have spend hundreds of hours in Dawncaster. I’ve spent less time per dollar on this than any triple A title released in the last 10 years.

My new favorite rogue-like game

Honestly didn’t think anything would top Slay the Spire or Monster Train for me. This one is unreal. I did not like it at first, but once I finally had a good run, I was hooked. Six classes that will reward quite the grind to get them all max unlocked. It rewards grinding as opposed to demanding it like many other games. I hope that one day it comes to PC because I would probably play it even more if it wasn’t limited to mobile devices.

Amazing Game

This game is fun, addictive, and challenging. I’ve already put well over 100 in and it’s only been a few weeks. My hat goes off to the developer.

Solid deck builder!!

It’s good fun! I’ve put ~10 hours into it since I got it last week. It hits all the fun synergy building high notes. It has a huge number of mechanics and ways to bridge between them (kinda like how sts’s envenom bridges the multi-hit and poison mechanics, but even more interconnected). There’s so much to unlock! So much content I can’t wait to get into! Design critiques: - The UI regarding menu advancement is inconsistent. Sometimes it’s on an unskippable timer, sometimes it requires a tap, sometimes it’s timed or by tap. This leads to me sometimes accidentally pressing options I don’t want, skipping ones I do want, and staring dumbly at the screen waiting for it to auto advance (while it waits for me to tap) - Some keywords get a helpful pop up explaining what they do… and some don’t. All of them should! - Perhaps I’ve just gotten really lucky with my builds, but I feel like enemies lack ways to disrupt my engine / make me think outside the box. There’s an abundance of removal, and my deck gets manicured to a point where I can just mindlessly play cards. It leads to them feeling like they lack unique mechanical identity, when perhaps they really do have it but I haven’t noticed because I haven’t been forced to engage with it. Maybe there’s more of this in the harder difficulty modes and I just haven’t gotten to it!

Love it!

War and cards? Plus, I love me some RPGs. Direct touch doesn’t work with most games, but does with this.

Blind night gamer

There aren’t many games on the App Store that catered to what I’ve been missing since I was about 14. I’m a giant, Pokémon fan, who loves anime, and also plays DND, and this fits everything. However, I have a few minor suggestions on how to make this game a bit better what frustrates me most is every time I die I’m sent back the very beginning of the game, after create a whole new character, and start from level one all over again. You do have a revival system, and I like it, it does take a lot of grinding, a lot of work, and a lot of special circumstances to get to that point. However, my messages of sorts? When we die, and have made it past Brightondale, dictation, but this, no doubt, maybe we could be sent back to Brightondale with the health we had before the battle in which we died, and some kind of degration of our degradation of our wealth at that point as well. it’ll be really nice that would save progress button too, if only so, we can get our bus kicked, try again, as many times need be. It’s only suggestion, Buffalo blind player, yes, we are visually impaired, and the reason this app gets five stars is largely due to the fact that you have made this app accessible. I, and I imagine many other blind players, commend you. You’re doing a great job, keep it up, I haven’t tried any of the expansions, because I wanted to be able to complete the main story first, but I imagine they’re just as awesome. The night there should’ve been the medieval variety, as in the class I mainly play because the armor buffs are so good, thank you long sword! But I guess it translated to the time of day I’m usually playing this at, which is at night.

The one roguelike I always come back to

I’ve been playing for such a long time and it’s the perfect setup for a roguelike, it being a mobile game makes it so easy to pop in for part of my run in between work. My only complaint is MAKE MORE DLC IM READY TO PAY
