TouchArcade: Card games are extremely difficult to make, in my estimation: the game has to provide a rigid set of rules, while having to deal with randomness in a way that feels fair while reveling in the entropy that comes from not knowing what's next. I don't know if Card Crawl [$1.99] ever completely succeeds in that respect in terms of fairness with the randomness. But it does an excellent enough job otherwise at making a game that's super-fun with an interesting set of rules that I struggle to put this one down.

BacklogCritic: "There are worse card games and there are better card games than Card Crawl; and so it sits in this mediocrity of unrealised potential and unfulfilling gameplay that might appeal to a few players, but definitely not to a wider and more PC-focused public. And for those who are interested in it anyway, the mobile version should be better suited to their taste."
Card Crawl's next big update expands the popular card-based dungeon crawler with new ability cards and more, on December 17th. Ten new abilities will allow for new strategies.
