Dream Quest

hey peter, i been waiting since before the pandemic for the update. and ill never stop waiting

No update in 7 years, runs like a charm. Still one of the best games available on iOS. No gambling influenced in-game economy with in-app purchases; just addictive and creative gameplay. Part card game, board game, dungeon crawl rpg, and puzzle game all in one. Unique and satisfying. (Yes, there is an in-game economy but you cannot spend real money.)

If you like Slay the Spire, meet its inspiration.

So much fun, especially on a long plane ride. Would recommend to anyone for a good strategy dungeon game.

I play a LOT or roguelike/card battler type games and this is one of my favorites. It has been one of a few games I bother to keep installed on my phone for years

My most played game, and I’ve had this game for years and still play it daily. So much fun and challenging.

Honestly I haven’t been able to put my phone down since installing the game! Slay the Spire was definitely inspired by this game. Once you get past the charming art style the mechanics are amazing!

This a cute but undercooked game jam kind of jam that feels more like a proof of concept than a finished product. I don't mind the graphics, but the game has a serious problem with perceivable consequence. It just does a very poor job of conveying WHY something is happening and what (if anything) the player could have done to prevent it- you'll be doing great, then 2 or 3 rounds in a row you'll just start your turn with no cards in your hand and there'll be absolutely nothing you can do about it except let the enemy pick your health down to nothing. Game over. The incremental progress from the countless unlocks (I swear I've never even seen some of the cards I've supposedly unlocked) begins to feel like nothing as you bash your head against the random number generator just hoping the next ~40 minutes won't turn out to be a complete waste of time, because (for instance) the dungeon just didn't spawn any healing locations on your side of an elite enemy that's 2 levels higher than you. There' an easy mode, but I can hardly see the point because playing it locks you out of any kind of achievement or progress and still puts you in unwinnable situations. I have to respect what the designer did here, but it just needs SO MUCH work in terms of not randomly sticking players into unwinnable situations when they've nothing wrong that I just can't see myself recommending it to anybody. It's just not fun or rewarding to play. This game's 4.6 star rating is utterly baffling to me. Maybe an older version had some feature that's now missing that mitigated the game's problems? Or maybe it just feels a lot worse when you play it after later deck-building roguelites that iterated on the concept? I honestly have no idea. Buying this game is functionally paying money to have a program waste a ton of your time making you slightly annoyed.

I loved slay the spire, I was told to play this game. I gave it a shot for a few hours and it was utterly disappointing. Complete waste of time for me. I can definitely see where Slay the spire got some of its influence. But this? God awful game. This game appears to be quite heavily luck based instead of skill. There’s little point in even saving cards for use later. Complete slog. Press play all press hourglass rinse wash repeat. An idle clicker game has more depth than this.

I was skeptical at first but decided to give it a try. Glad I did! One of my favorite purchases now!
