Reviews for Dawncaster: Deckbuilding RPG

It’s extremely rare I buy games on the app store these days. This game deserves every star! It’s an amazing roguelite card game that has its own unique mechanics from others, but doesn’t force micro transactions. In fact, the only purchase available is an expansion pack with a sizable amount of content. To dev- keep […]

Was skeptical based on the price tag and gameplay videos, but ended up picking this up on sale. Very glad I did! Gameplay is solid and addicting, and there is a serious amount of content (classes, cards, strategies, etc). This is a top of class game well worth your time. I do think it’s a […]

I’ve played a ton of roguelike deck-builders (StS, Night of the Full Moon, Rogue Adventure, Krumit’s Tale, etc etc). I have maybe 10 hours in on this one, my pros and cons so far: PROs: 1. Is hard! I generally like the difficulty. Most of the other deckbuilders are way too easy once you figure […]

This is one of those games that is so good it feels illegal to have it on your phone and not on Steam. It’s incredibly replayable with near endless strategies and approaches to try. Even if you fail, you’re still making progress. The art is absolutely gorgeous and so high quality!!!! I have played countless, […]

Game is fine. Art is good, mechanics solid, supports different styles of play. My issue is that it took me about an hour to play through the entire game with the Knight. After a playthrough you’re left to grind through the same campaign time and again to collect enough points to purchase added weapons, talents, […]

By and large I love this game, play it nearly every night to pass time. Only complaint is a small bug from the most recent patch, which I imagine will be fixed soon enough. Tons of replayability, plenty of variety in each class, and after obtaining the expansions there’s plenty of variety in your route. […]

In short, a great rogue-like deckbuilder. This game has a lot of depth, I’ve sunk a ton of hours into it. Well polished, rarely encounter a bug and when I do its always minor. Devs make constant updates to the game, its probably twice the size it was when I started. I’ve bought all the […]

fun game, fun mechanics. Has some good replayability. The biggest problem with this game is that it takes FOREVER to get permanent upgrades. Way more than any other Roguelike or Roguelite. I get that they want to make money, but I paid $5 for the game and I’d like to see at least some sort […]

I really loved slay the spire. However, this game has been more fun to me. It almost feels like Diablo meets StS? Either way, I haven’t been this addicted to a game in a very long time. Especially a mobile game. Do what everyone says, disable all cards but the core set and play each […]

Great offline RPG. Expect to lose hard your first few games as you figure out out, but winning is fun. Lots of different systems to learn. Great for the price. Needs a few adjustments though: Progression through reward trees is WAY too slow. Too many aspects of the game go unexplained; I appreciate being able […]

Edit: I have played and loved this game on my A02s for years but suddenly it began crashing repeatedly upon loading, or if it does manage to load the main menu, it will crash if I press any buttons at all. I was hoping to pick up the expansion today but I may have to […]

A little weird to get used to. I recommend disabling expansions when starting a new game to ease your way into it. While each color is powerful, it seems like there is inherently a system to each of them. The different color feels distinct. Shame infinites aren’t possible because of exhaustion. At least opening hands […]

A ton of replay potential. Each combination of character and weapon makes each playthrough feel different. Each character can be upgraded and gain new weapons. This also changes drastically how that character is played and how you would build the deck. Takes a bit to learn all the keywords and how things work/combo together. But […]

I think the lower star reviews have fair points, but since I’ve just recently bought the base game, my biggest gripe is that the tooltips aren’t comprehensive enough. Some cards generate others that don’t appear on the tooltip, and that is a huge annoyance for me since it is upwards of 3 hours to complete […]

I’ve been playing this game for months now, and it’s paid for itself with the hours of entertainment I’ve gotten from it. I bought the expansions too, and they were VERY worth it (otherwise, the main story gets boring really quickly). I like the gameplay, as well as the art design, though there is some […]

I really like this game. it’s one of very few games that I have paid for all of the dlc. I have maxed out every class and unlocked all of the optional sunforge rewards. even before I purchased all of the dlc I loved this game though. the core storyline is just as fun as […]

Played each character to the max, and still continue to have fun! Game support is extremely timely and helpful, and will make sure your experience is great! The variety for each playthrough is what makes the game, whether or not you want to make it as difficult as possible, and always seems to offer something […]

Took me a bit to get into it, but once I did, it became my go-to phone-break activity. It has a lot of the elements of a modern CCG without the bank-emptying aspect of either grinding for packs or paying not to fall behind. Play naturally progresses from learning the classes’ cards to anything-goes in […]

Oh wow, this is what I was looking for!! I thought this game was some simple roguelike deckbuilder in which, this is true, but there is so much more along side when playing. all of the DLCs look super fun and may have to grab these once finishing my initial playthrough. I love the options […]

Very Fun, Good Lore, Fantastic Support If you like card rogue-like games then this is a fantastic choice. The card synergies have some serious depth without being overwhelming. The progression between runs feels good and not too grind-y while always leaving something to do. And the archetypes really all feel quite different. Add onto that […]
