Card Hog 9+

I was looking for a new rogue/dungeon card battle game when this game popped up, and I’m so glad I found it!

I’m a busy person and a semi-casual gamer. I want an accessible game that still has some depth, but without being too complicated. This game strikes that exact balance. It’s a challenge that’s not at all stressful, just fun.

Most dungeon games have a dark fantasy aesthetic, which I don’t prefer. The colorful and humorous aesthetic of this game is what drew me to it. I absolutely love it.

The gameplay is flawless. It’s super enjoyable to play. It’s easy to learn and jump right in.

I also appreciate all the personalized settings options. And the fact that you can click the menu at any time to save progress before closing the app (or use auto save).

I super appreciate the fair premium price with no ads or IAP. And the file size is small. It’s also good on battery.

The developer was also responsive to a question, and clearly cares about this game.

I highly recommend this game, and I would say it’s one of the best game purchases I’ve made this year.

Thank you developer for doing it all right! We need more like you out there.

Card Hog combines a simple, chill gameplay loop with tons of unlocks to keep you coming back for just... one... more... game... Until you completely lose track of time! You move your little piggy one square at a time, which makes the board shift around you. You kill monsters, collect weapons, and earn beans for persistent power-ups. It’s a board game rogue-lite that won’t stress you out or make you sweat, and it has achievements for that extra feeling of accomplishment. It’s not going to steal your life away or drain your wallet. I just wish I had this back when I was in school so I’d have something zen to fiddle with when I was listening to boring lectures.

This game has a bit of a confusing first few minutes. It took me a bit to grok the premise and how movement produces new cards. I’d never played a game quite like it. But once it has hooks in, this game pulls you in deep. Excellent work from the dev. And great art work too!
