Nova Island

title

I've been playing Nova Island since the start, and it just keeps getting better and better! There's no longer "too much rng" after the energizing update in Jan 2024 which allows strategically taking advantage of the board setup, and in April the 1.0 release brought a ton of new content and progression, filling out the delightful characters and world of the Island. The core of what I love about the game has been the same from the start - the engaging gameplay with lots of exciting moments and strategic back-and-forth, the supremely charming colorful world and incredible music, the adorable animations bringing the characters and creatures to life. It’s clear the game was made with love and playing it never fails to make me happy. I enjoy card games, but I don't like to stress about them, and I find Nova Island's gameplay is very accessible and fun to jump into, while also having plenty of strategic depth to dig into. The way you interact with the board and your opponent changes in interesting ways as you get new cards, and pros' superpowers make each game feel different and exciting. The other games modes like Turbo Draft and Central Circuit are their own fun challenge, too. There's a reason I've been playing Nova Island for years and telling everyone to try it, and recent updates have just made me love it more! I can't wait to see how it grows.

Absolutely love this game! The gameplay is fun and fast with fantastically cute characters that give this game so much unique character! It’s also free to play without all the annoying ads that usually come with that. Such a fun deck building game with great strategy and cute characters! Also the music is great!

Dan Perper’s creative genius at it again. This app is one of the only games I will use cloud space on. Can’t wait for more updates soon!

Can you Guys as customisable characters or at least more characters!!!!!

This game is one of the greatest things you can find on the AppStore. It’s engaging, strategic, and has something for everybody. There are a lot of reasons on why this game is so amazing, which I will now promptly cover. First of all, many of the reviews shown are very outdated, and most of them address the chance element of this game. However, a while back the devs released a huge update where they adapted the chance element to be more strategic, so take many older reviews with a grain of salt. However, one thing that has also not been addressed by these reviews is that the game now contains micro-transactions. Most of these are purely cosmetic while some will allow players to get ahead of the competition. The game is not pay to win though, due to the many rewards that are given by simply playing the game. The best thing about this game is the gameplay itself. It’s something unique that allows players to think strategically while having lots of fun. The animation is great, with a diverse selection of cards and characters to choose from. I recommend this game to any person, no matter what preferences an individual may have, Nova Island is a game made for everyone.

Love 1.0 update! Looks like so much effort went into making a good game great!

A great concept although All the gameplay is at my level, is get put up against a boom deck and lose, you have no chance of winning. Nerf boom or I quit.

Research...? 😳

I hate the chance element. The amount of times I’ve filled the board and don’t get a single card active is ridiculous. It’s incredibly frustrating when I spend time trying to win and strategize only for my opponent to get dumb luck with one card. I really think the chance should only active the card’s ability’s and have all the hearts count at the end of the round. It’s just such an dumb way to lose a easy game too. Everything else about this game is absolutely perfect. Love the cards, characters, even the market prices are relatively fair. I’ve even found the match making is great except every now and then. This game is amazing but this one thing is just holding it back.
