Lophis roguelike-darkness game

Call of Lophis, AKA Lophis Roguelike, AKA Dark Dungeon Survival Pro, is without a doubt the best deckbuilding roguelike I’ve ever played. The fact that it has 3 names leads me to my first issue: translation. The translation is horribly done. However, this is easy to look past. What’s much harder to look past is that completing the game is more is less… Well, impossible. This game is not for the easily frustrated, as every boss is likely to be the last of the run. The end bosses in particularly are meticulously designed to perfectly counter your chosen character, and only the greatest strategist stands a chance. Thankfully, with 7 playable characters, each with vastly different play styles, most people will probably find a deck suited to them that they can master and hopefully use to overcome the immense challenge this game’s campaign poses. Of course, this will take time. A very long time. If you have the patience and tolerance for pain, this is my number one recommendation for a deckbuilding roguelike game. TL;DR: Very good game, absolute best in its genre, but be prepared for it to be extremely difficult.

The game has been bugged and says the network is closed. I can’t buy anything and I tried to reinstall only to lose everything

Does anyone know what that’s about do they HAVE a price tag on them? Or is it just free? Why are they breaking my brain like this?!

Says it need a .6 mb update then crashes

Game is buggy with damage not registering, crashing on start up, trying to buy anything results in a transaction fail-error code 0, I think they stopped supporting it.

This game developer doesn’t understand that the player needs a sense of satisfaction in order to have fun with a deck-builder. Clearly this is a mashup of Dreamquest (iOS, excellent gameplay loop and progression sense) and Slay the Spire (not iOS, also excellent gameplay loop and sense of mastery). What is good: List of monsters with their unique trait; easy control and navigation; uniqueness of hero classes. What is bad: Fights are boring and grindy - the enemies are either not challenging at all, or impossible with very little in between. This is caused by the enemies being overly reactive. The “Caveman” enemy for instance - green blob with hammers - gets a free attack with snowballing damage every time he takes ANY damage. This would not be a huge problem but there is a boss reward that causes all your attacks to apply Restrain, which inflicts a small amount of damage each time the enemy attacks. This interaction makes the Caveman impossible to beat unless you can kill them in one turn every time. Otherwise, you do some damage, the Caveman gets 2 restrain and a hammer, on Caveman turn her plays a hammer and takes restrain damage and gets another hammer... repeat until you are dead or restrain has run out. This is bad design because it provides no option for counter-play by the player. Either you can kill caveman in one turn, or you lose. No strategy involved. This could be solved by making hammers cost energy or enforcing a turn limit on the Caveman or by limiting hammer production to attack damage only (not status effects). The other badly designed enemy is “Evil Knight” who clones every third card you play And has 4-5 times as much health as you do. Better hope your victory condition doesn’t rely on using good cards. The Evil Knight will clone those cards and use them freely against you. This could be countered (again like the Caveman) if there were some kind of limitations placed on this. Like, the Evil Knight only clones attack cards or something - as a mirror to the sword class. There are many other things wrong with this game. I get the sense that the game creator doesn’t play it. It doesn’t respect player time or intention. And clearly a bunch of these reviews were written by bots. Ugh.

After the last update the game won’t load It’s been two weeks since the last update and I still cannot load the game. After I choose to pick story or abyss the screen turns black and I have to shut down the app.

So every time I finish a run (aka die), I get past the screen where it shows the deck you died with alongside the bosses you kill. But then after that, I reach this screen and at it shows is some shield and sword icon along with a weird crystal thing (later I found out that it’s some sort of leveling thing) and it always gets stuck on that screen (I have to swipe up on the app and restart it), not letting me continue on with the perks of completing a run. I was wondering if you guys could fix it because I even deleted the game and redownloaded and it’s still giving me the same result. Besides that it’s still I a good game

This game is really solid. Has a progression system where you unlock new cards and chrs to make your deck stronger but currently has a bug that breaks this system!!! So DONT buy this right now until they fix this bug.

After each attempt the game freezes on iOS and the only way to continue is to completely close the app and go back in. This loses your progress and you don’t get exp or the in game currency. Not worth playing since you can’t get anywhere.
