Card Crusade 12+

WHY I LIKE THIS GAME:
*instantly addictive, highly bingeable, limitless replayability
*fairly priced, no pay-to-win micro-transactions, no in-game ads
*easy to learn, but hard to master - difficulty increases logically
*fun and challenging (but not impossible) combat encounters
*gameplay provides tons of ways to use action economy
*several diverse classes offer different ways to play
*extra classes can be earned by achievement or purchased
*cool magic items that are fun to experiment with
*experience a different dungeon every time you play
*can easily play for 5 minutes or 5 hours
*no NPC dialogue screens to read through - it's just combat!!

COMMENTS:
Probably the best mobile game I've bought in a really long time. I knew after 5 minutes of playing that I would love it, and I totally do. I'm trying to resist buying the extra classes (even though it's only a couple bucks) so I can try to earn them with the in-game challenges. Either way there are no paid features that you can't earn for free through gameplay/achievement. I won't buy any mobile game that offers P2W/recurring micro-transactions, and this one doesn't, so huge thanks to the developers for not including these scams in their game.

DOWNSIDE(?):
My only complaint would be that if playing on an iPad, you have to hold in portrait orientation....I would like to have the option to rotate display to be able to use it in landscape orientation.

BOTTOM LINE: highly recommend you buy this game right now

This seemingly simple little game has become an endless source of excitement for me. It’s one of the only games I’ve ever come across that truly requires strategy, forward planning, and a decent memory.
Multiple different character classes to choose from, all with their own special traits, and each class adds specific bonus effects to certain card categories.
There are no ads and there is no need to ever make an in app purchase. After a week or so of playing and paying attention, you’ll be able to figure out how to easily unlock all the characters so just stick with it.

If the developer is reading this, I have two small suggestions that in my opinion would make the game even more well rounded.
1. When opening a chest sometimes I want both cars options, but have to only choose one. If there was an option to spend extra gold coins to buy the second card it would be an interesting feature.
2. Could you pretty pretty please possibly add a feature that allows players to double the speed of the enemy turns? Sometimes I try to squeeze in a few quick levels on my work breaks and I would be able to play through levels a little quicker with a feature like this.

Overall I would recommend this game to literally anyone who wants to pass time with a fun but challenging free game. Hoping to see more from this developer in the future!

I got this game a long time ago, in addition to a bunch of other text adventure and old classy style games (idk why I love them, it wasn’t even like my childhood or anything I just love the simplicity and style of the games). However this one stood out significantly as a really good game, and became my favorite mobile game pretty quickly. Fast forward to a week and a half ago, got my best friend into the game and now he’s addicted too. I cannot state how amazing this game is, and I mean it’s free. Like you can’t get much better than that for value.

Small bug I found, is when you play the card that says the next one does double damage, it only applies to cards already in your hand so if you play that card that drew in its spot then it does normal damage.

And that’s my only negative thing to say about the game. A tiny bug.
