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

Ratings and Reviews
Fun well balanced game
Pros: This game is fun and visually cool if you like a table top style dungeon crawler. Every level is randomly generated so it keeps it from getting boring in that way. Lots of cool cards to choose from. Different styles of game play and cards allow you to create your own strategy. New creatures and bosses on each level keep it exciting and interesting. It also has a unique sense of humor. Overall I definitely recommend this game. 4 STARS!
Cons: The AI of the enemy’s is pretty weak, so in this way it’s easy to let enemy’s fall into obvious traps. Also not much complexity in the way that a lava monster can also be killed by a lava based attack. The game is challenging to start but quickly becomes too easy once you master the right card choices. It would have been a more rewarding game if there was some rewards systems in place, like getting medals or badges for clearing all the rooms of enemy’s, or killing multiple enemies in a single attack etc. Overall it needs to be more challenging.
How to lose
Why cant you have a number count on cards to know how long till used up. Also why when you look at loot you have to swap or discard and lose it forever. Why cant you just drop it and return later to pick up. Almost 5 stars a great game awsome sound effects just needs a little more polish. Sort out drop rather than discard and already it's on to a winner. Or even have a card deck up to 10 cards you can swap around or even just 5 would be enough. Still worth buying has the game makes you smile when one hit kills all lol
Fixed
Fair play, the latest updates have fixed the bugs on my iPad 2. It's a very enjoyable game. Go for it if you have any interest in rogue likes or adventure games generally...
Previous review below...
OK, so I read the reviews which warned me it was buggy, but the developer released an update in November 2014 listing many fixes, so I thought why not? I like rogue-likes, let's give the developer a chance...
It let me play the first level, but then the bugs started. The app closed at random points, for example, using a card which includes bleeding, or when trying to access the in game help button.
I'm playing on an iPad 2, no admittedly not a new device, but this is hardly a groundbreaking app visually, and the details state that it works on iPad.
So now I feel a little cheated, and have wasted £2.99. If the app gets fixed I'll come back and change my rating, but until then, I wouldn't bother if I were you.
It's a shame, because the game itself is pretty good. Sigh.
