Description

"If you're looking to get started within the realm of roguelikes, this whimsical title could be a fantastic entry ticket." - 148 Apps

“One of the most compelling and addictive iOS games I've played in years” – Pixelated Paradise

"Card Dungeon is a bizarre mash-up of genres that works better than I'd expected. It's more about dungeon exploration than card collection, but it manages to make both quite entertaining." - Pocket Gamer UK

""A highly addicting mix of genres that ticks all the right boxes" - Games Finder

Take control of Crusader and free the lands from the hordes of the Nethermist in this turn based strategy rogue. Card Dungeon is a completely unique and handcrafted board / card /rogue-like game experience unlike anything you have played before. Easy to pick up and play for 10 minutes, but has enough depth and strategy that you will still be playing after multiple hours.

You can only do 1 thing / turn. Choose wisely.

When the game starts you are dealt three cards. The cards are used for attacks, defense, health, magic, summoning and much more. When the player defeats a monster or opens a chest, a new card may be revealed. The user then has to decide if they want to keep their current card or switch it to the new one. Progress through the levels as far as you can. When you die, you restart at the beginning. If you make it back to where you died, you get all your cards and money back.
No IAP. No in game ads. No internet required. Buy it once and get the full game as it should be.

Features:

Full 3D. Rotate, zoom and pan across gorgeous board game tiles.
Discover and equip over 1,000 cards.
Each play through genuinely unique as you transition from playing a hard hitting warrior to a summoning wizard to a trap laying rogue, etc, etc, etc. Dozens of combinations await you!
Randomly generated levels with hand placed creatures.
No defined player classes. The cards define your class!
Discover armor and weapon cards that help define who Your Crusader is this run.
Unlock trait cards which modify how Crusader acts in game. Play a cowardly, but strong Crusader. Next time play a Crusader strong with magic, but one that keeps losing money.
Record short video clips and upload your achievements and rare card finds for your friends to see. You can even record commentary directly from inside the game (requires use of camera and microphone).
21 levels packed with 40+ monsters, each with their own unique skills for Crusader to overcome.
Unique and beautiful artwork

Very good, but some issues

This is a great game. Very fun, and a cool mechanic all around. Upgrading/leveling is pretty buggy, though: you're supposed to unlock new traits with special gems. I've found two, they tell me I've unlocked a new trait, but nope. Then the rules say that you visit a "shop" every three levels, but I've never seen it show up: lots of gold and nowhere to spend it! Maybe I'm not understanding, but if so that needs to be more clear in the rules.
But this is really fun! I hope these bugs get fixed, and then I'll be the first to change my review to 5 stars.

Limited opportunity for strategic thinking.

The game has a very nice look, but after playing with it for a couple of hours I became quite frustrated with how limited my choices really were. I'm a big fan of difficult games, and was hoping that this would test my wits the way Darkest Dungeon and Card Hunters does, but hard games are only fun when winning or losing is the result of a player's decisions. The lack of choices hits you the moment you start your first game, when you have one type of hero to choose from, one choice of positive traits, and one choice of negative traits. You don't even get to name your generic knight. Anything you find in your adventure has to be used immediately, or lost forever. Since any given card can only be used about a dozen times before running out of charges, it's very easy to find yourself with access only to defensive/buff cards, and without a fresh attack card you are effectively unarmed. New cards are obtained almost exclusively by killing monsters, so if your last offensive card is out of charges you are utterly screwed. If you could trade in all of your defensive cards for one offensive card, you could keep playing. Alternatively, if dying gave you an additional trait to choose from on your next attempt, there would be some reason to try again. As it is I'm moving on. I'll likely check back in a year, but for now I'm taking this off my tablet.

One of the best rogue-likes for the iPhone

It's an enjoyable dungeon crawler with lots of replay value. The rooms and maps are randomly generated, as well as the treasure drops. The unique aspect of the game is that your "attacks" break after you use them 5-8 times, which forces you to use drops from enemies. This can be frustrating the first few times, but you can have your cards restored at the red fountains. It can also be hard to notice "status" conditions on your character unless look at your enemies past attacks. The game encourages dying by randomly giving knowledge gems on enemies. Theses allow you to unlock new perks/flaws which make future runs much easier. Some cards seem much more useful than others (I used lava tile for most of the game). If you want a adventure game with lots of replay, this is the game for you!
