Regicide Companion 4+

This is a great puzzle game that you can play with a simple deck of cards. The solo game is also well done and worth the money, but it’s missing some basic quality of life features to make it truly great. For example, being able to continue a game that you started is a basic feature that this is missing. If you stay away from the game long enough and the app restarts itself, you also need to start your game from scratch. It would also be great to be able to sort the cards in your hand by rank or suit.

Regicide is VERY DIFFICULT! But that doesn't stop me playing. It's a fantastic game either solo or with a 2-4p.
I'd give the app 4.9* if I could. Just some minor tweaks I'd ask for. As another has mentioned, make the "draw" and "heal" notifications sticky or permanent somewhere on the screen. When healing cards, you have to shuffle the discard. By the time you're done, you've forgotten how many to heal.
Other tweak: the music is very nice and fitting to the theme. However, it would be great to have the preference to turn off music and sound to remain when closing and reopening the app.
Solo mode: it's a little tough to find the rules to solo. Suffice it to say, the only real differences are your hand is 8 cards and the jokers are used to discard your current hand and draw a new set of 8. If you can win without using a joker: GOLD! One joker: Silver. Both: bronze. The official solo rules don't say, but I'd suggest you can also use a joker to heal 8 if you run short on the draw pile.

This is one of the best solitaire implementations I’ve ever come across. I randomly found it, and got the app for the solo experience, which is a very, very fair price. I happily support developers who monetize fairly with no ads or crazy IAP.

The design aesthetic is what drew me in. Also that it’s a quick-play solo experience, perfect for a work break. It’s easy to learn, and the UI and app function are flawless.

The whole concept and gameplay are AWESOME. One of the most clever ideas for solitaire I’ve come across. 50 stars for that alone! Another 50 for the artwork and how smoothly it plays.

The file size is huge, I’m not sure why, I’d usually bypass on such a huge file, but it’s worth how good the game is. It’s also good on battery.

That said, I thought the card game Friday was hard. This seems harder. I’ve beat Friday several times. I can’t beat this. So far I’ve never made it past the Queens to fight the Kings. I’ve watched videos online, so I know I’m approaching the play correctly, but I guess things haven’t lined up right yet.

Still, it’s quick to play, and enjoyable, so I’ll stick with it, for now at least. I’d like to beat it at least once!

I highly recommend this game. It’s definitely addictive. But beware you are going to lose constantly, and that win might be elusive. But if you do win, that will feel amazing!
