Card Crawl Adventure Reviews

When I start play the game, its immediately fire me. I can't play the game at all. I tried to delete the game and download it again, but the same problem may be because the language of my device is Arabic I am not sure because I faced this problem before in another game and I am using iPad pro.

Half the time when tapping the next card I want in the path it removes the previous instead so I am constantly fighting to get 6 cards in a path selected.

On top of that once done I have to waste a full second holding down on a card to lock in the selection instead of just having a done button.

Hire a real UX person.

His games are either easy to learn, hard to master; or overly designed and highly RNG focused. This game is the latter, with heavy bugs. Sometimes card abilities just don’t work.

Also, micro transactions to play new characters when in the original Card Crawl you unlocked them by playing well. It doesn’t matter, since the character decks don’t change the strategy much anyway.

A big disappointment. I hope the next one is more carefully designed like Miracle Merchant.

Game is very confusing, seems like if I was doing it right it would be a lot of fun. Played the tutorial three times and still not really getting it, also very hard for me. I went through four different playthroughs and had almost no attack cards every single time. I don’t know if I’m just bad at the game or doing something wrong, but if you like and understand these kind of card/adventure games this game seems like it would be a lot of fun.

I like strategy games like tower defense and puzzle type things, and I’ve avoided card games because I thought they’d be boring…but I like this a lot. No complaints about the randomness and difficulty because I’m sure it’s more satisfying when you actually get good and earn the wins.
I have a question, though. Is there a way to have your character accumulate and save items and cards and upgrades for future adventures or do you start from base level every time you do a new adventure?

Yes, the tutorial tries to cram a lot into a bite-sized space. Just go in knowing it’ll take a couple games for one aspect to click, then another, then you’ll progress to a mastery before too long. Another complaint arises…the difficulty curve doesn’t scale properly. Once you’ve got the basics, you can mindlessly conquer the first 3, maybe even 4 levels, before the final dungeon provides a real challenge. That’s 20 minutes to kill every time until actual user tactics start to be required. Cursed mode helps alleviate this, but I’m not really a big fan of having to add my own difficulty modifiers.

My other major hangup is the clunky UI. Card selection and tap and hold is unreliable, and the between turns animation and shuffling feels like a slog compared to Krumit’s Tale, which is the pinnacle of iOS card games. The animations and pace and sound design of Krumit make for a more satisfying, visceral experience.

Overall though, very good, and the variety of extra characters is worth the cost. 2 tips: 1) hope you get the level 1 Bat boss early (or not at all) and 2) always, always save the Slime boss for last, even if you’ve already discovered its dungeon. Dunno why the level 3 Slime is no nerfed, but def take advantage of it. Most of the other level 3 bosses are brutal.

It’s a great game with the same wonderful art style of previous games by the same developer along with solid sound design and unobtrusive music that sets the tone well. However, the game doesn’t feel like much of a deckbuilder once you really get the ball rolling. Sure, you do add cards to the deck that grant you more tools through each of the taverns, but after a while, the unique cards to each class feel more superficial than defining of their gameplay and it feels more like a Solitaire-y puzzle game that gives you extra standalone pieces as you go than a synergy-seeking rogue-like deckbuilding game. I suppose when I first saw this game, I was expecting something closer to Krumit’s Tale rather than Card Crawl crossed with Card Thief.

Either way, Card Crawl Adventures is a great game that I’ll certainly stick with and thoroughly enjoy, it just wasn’t quite what I was expecting.

The game improves almost everything the original does, more features, character archetypes, bosses, etc. The only part that I find lacking with the game is it’s variety. Despite the game having more overall cards than its predecessor, it still feels like you find the same cards every other run. There’s also an unbalanced amount of cards carrying the burn status compared to other status’ like ice and shock, with 6 burn attack cards compared to 2 shock and 2 ice cards. Though this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it makes creating deck synergies much more difficult if you happen to be machina compared to pyromancer. Overall, it’s a very good game, I enjoyed the first a lot and sunk a lot of hours into it, so seeing a sequel makes me excited for a new, fresh experience.

This is an addicting game. The only thing negative there is now shallow end. You are thrown upn I see is the learning curve is a lot bigger than the tutorial presented. I’m still figuring out how certain things affect other things and I’ve been playing for a couple months now, but it is addicting and hopefully they just keep coming out with new Contant, it’s one of the few I will play probably at least once a day.

When a developer finds his niche, you know it. triple T knows his niche and man does he know how to make a card game. Ever since Card Crawl dropped, magical gameplay has been his forte. Is this an evolutionary growth of the genere? Oh yeah. Is this the epitome of perfect gameplay? Oh yeah. Is the art and animation superb? Dang skippy. If this is not on the Apple showcase as featured, then it would be a shame… you should be so proud sir. This is a feat of GODLY power and ability.

I don’t know how many hours I’ve spent on this game, with all the different equipment cards and characters you can play as, every game feels unique. There is a lot of strategy and tough situations you get stuck in, and that makes for such an enjoyable experience. In a sea of crappy mobile games flooding CardCrawlAdventure Store, this game is absolute peak.

The art style is unique and eye catching and I love the design of each character and the animations really show case their personalities. It took me a few runs to fully understand the mechanics but I’m hooked, I’m determined to complete a run on every character.

This is one of the few games that I have come across that keeps me coming back for more. There is a learning curve and the more you play the more you understand. You come across combos that work and other that don’t. Every game is different, part is because of how you play and part is what cards and upgrades you choose. The longer you play the more you discover. It’s like a game of chess, once you learn the basics you have only begun to play the game. There is a huge number of combinations and the game makes you think to play well.

Love the game, huge fan of the original Card Crawl. My complaint is you need to pay for nearly everything. I get it’s a free game and they should be compensated for all there hard work and I was happy to pay for the full game of Card Crawl but you can’t do that here that I’m aware of. You have to pay for each individual thing.
UPDATE: They added the full game purchase ability (after I had already spent nearly five dollars worth of in game content.)

Seems simple at first but with all the little variations on cards the game is never the same. There are some wins that are by the skin of the teeth and defeats that are nail biters. In app purchases are not obnoxious and the free to play portion has kept me busy for a month.

I loved the OG card crawl and still play it to this day. This new entry is an excellent follow up from a great developer that supports his games and always turns out fun card games. Thanks for another great game!

Never really play card games like this, but I find myself not being able to put it down.

Very fun game. I love all of your games, but this one is definitely my favorite! Looking forward to your future games.

A very interesting card game, I would recommend to buy the full version

I love how this game takes the best of this dev's previous hits and creates a whole new expanded experience.
