Spells word Cards: Origins

I suppose it hits the spot for some folks, but I quickly got bored with the gameplay. Also, I got particularly annoyed by the heightened sensitivity of cards getting selected when all I wanted to do was read their description; this would frequently cause it to go straight to purchase or usage queries, and when I backed out, I had to re-open the information again, risking repeating the same issue. The art seemed cool, but I'd at least consider coloring things in.

A fun and challenging game. I appreciate unlocking all features for a flat fee. Would suggest more locations, or at least a few different final bosses! Keep up the good work. Currently freezes after killing an enemy. Not fixed by reinstall.

First time playing seems alright. But after the first time, game becomes too difficult to progress after lvl2. It draws you in with the first playthrough just to bump the difficulty to impossible and force you to pay just to win. No skill needed to win, just RNG and LOTS of luck. I refuse to spend money on a game that makes you believe you can win if only you spent a little to improve yourself. No one makes games without trying to make money but atleast hide that fact by making the game fair.

Bought this a few years ago, had fun with it, recently tried playing again and now there is an ad in between every fight/event making it unplayable. I thought buying a game removes ads, other people on here are also saying they paid for no ads. Yet there are ads now. Ridiculous. Another fun game lost to corporate greed it seems.

Really addictive and a well made CCG. But It kinda feels like a proof of concept for a much bigger game. I would love to see more levels for your character and more benefit to beating battles besides just earning black borders. And a longer campaign would be nice. Great game overall, but would be better if the game just felt like it had more progression. Still giving it 5 stars due to it being very fun and a well structured card system.

Fun game. Good art. Well made. Feels good to find and upgrade cards, tweak your deck, and exploit combos. Some classes are inherently weaker than others, though, making it very difficult in some circumstances. A lot of time you're a victim of RNG that leads you to inevitable defeat even if you play perfectly, and that's just not fun.

I'm very curious about this game, the mechanics seem interesting, but the fights take maybe 30 seconds and there's an ad to start the fight AND an ad to finish it!! They're usually only 5 seconds long but this is insane... no way to pay for ad free that I can find either.

Good enough, but lots of room for improvement. I've enjoyed it for a weekend, and was close to unlocking the full version in order to support the creators. Then I realized that every matchup vs the Lich endboss was nigh impossible. The deck building component was fun all throughout the game, but you can't win unless you strive for a specific type of combos. I'm not going to pay for a bunch of new classes who need to become the same thing by the end. Nice attempt, but grossly unbalanced :-(

Of all the roguelike phone card based dungeon crawlers I've played, this is the best one, with the most replay value. The card combos are varied and interesting, the line art isn't overly colorful or cheesy, and the discord community lets you talk to the developers. The only issue is that the game can be really harsh during the early levels, but that's ok.

The option to combine cards makes it stand out from other card games, which along with the many different classes, races and elements makes each run unique. My only concern is the lack of a way to check what cards have each deck pool, even after playing them, which leads to confusion and makes it hard to remember what goes well with other elements.

It's ball bustingly hard and not in a fun way for me, battles are slowpaced and difficult, you really need to think out your strat before playing, and that's AFTER you go through all the characters and class combinations to see what's best for you. This is not a game you can sit down and play a quick game in every once in a while, it's a major undertaking everytime you start a new game, and due to the slow pace, it just takes up too much time with not enough fun.

Enjoying this game! I like the level of challenge and the diversity of character options. My only major complaint is that there's no place that lists the cards and effects that the classes and races start with, which makes it very difficult to start a game. There's also no listing of the cards for each path. Either the menu should have a section where all of this is listed or it should be accessible when you click on the icon for character creation. Other than that, great job!

Been playing this game off and on for a few years now and I payed for no ads when I first got it. Now I'm getting ads before every fight, I'd give this game 5 stars since the gameplay is challenging enough to be fun but not too much to be overwhelming when learning. Now that I'm getting ads again (especially before every fight and having payed for no ads) it knocks the quality of the game wayyy down sadly.

Not Great. Seemed like it was going to be fun, but the cards seemed really unimaginative and the game was incredibly easy until the final boss, at which point you pretty much sit and watch as he gets 8 turns in a row and then you die. I'm exaggerating a little, but he limits the cards you get so instead of the 6-10 cards I had been playing per turn, I got 0-1. Every turn. So unless I were dealt all my best cards on the very 1st turn, I couldn't do much. 3 runs through and same result. I'm done

Very very excellent card game! If you've played Slay the Spire or Night of the Full Moon you have a similar idea of what this game is. You choose a character to play, with options including class, race and path. These all have different effects, such as different cards or different level-up effects. Difficulty feels fair, maybe the Final boss could be tuned down and the later enemies tuned up a bit. But overall an excellent well worth the time and price.

Seems decent, kind of a basic card deck battle game. I haven't played a lot since there are so many ads, but it seems well done. You pick a fight or event and an ad plays, after the fight/event ad plays. I played 5 minutes and think i watched over 10 ads. Kind of worse, it was the same 2 or 3 ads. I'd just set my phone aside for a bit then pick it up and hit close. Seems like a new little game though.

One of my favorite phone games hands down. In essence, you start with a basic deck depending on your class, race, and elemental path, then through the course of the game, level up your cards and add to (or remove from) your deck over time until ultimately defeating the Lich and starting your character all over. Or you die along the way and start your character over. Simple but easily replayable; make a character, screw it up, try a new one, have crazy ideas and try them. "What if I JUST burn?"
