"Card Dungeon is a bizarre mash-up of genres that works better than I'd expected. It's more about dungeon exploration than card collection, but it manages to make both quite entertaining." - Pocket Gamer UK
""A highly addicting mix of genres that ticks all the right boxes" - Games Finder
Take control of Crusader and free the lands from the hordes of the Nethermist in this turn based strategy rogue. Card Dungeon is a completely unique and handcrafted board / card /rogue-like game experience unlike anything you have played before. Easy to pick up and play for 10 minutes, but has enough depth and strategy that you will still be playing after multiple hours.
You can only do 1 thing / turn. Choose wisely.
When the game starts you are dealt three cards. The cards are used for attacks, defense, health, magic, summoning and much more. When the player defeats a monster or opens a chest, a new card may be revealed. The user then has to decide if they want to keep their current card or switch it to the new one. Progress through the levels as far as you can. When you die, you restart at the beginning. If you make it back to where you died, you get all your cards and money back.
No IAP. No in game ads. No internet required. Buy it once and get the full game as it should be.
Features:
Full 3D. Rotate, zoom and pan across gorgeous board game tiles.
Discover and equip over 1,000 cards.
Each play through genuinely unique as you transition from playing a hard hitting warrior to a summoning wizard to a trap laying rogue, etc, etc, etc. Dozens of combinations await you!
Randomly generated levels with hand placed creatures.
No defined player classes. The cards define your class!
Discover armor and weapon cards that help define who Your Crusader is this run.
Unlock trait cards which modify how Crusader acts in game. Play a cowardly, but strong Crusader. Next time play a Crusader strong with magic, but one that keeps losing money.
Record short video clips and upload your achievements and rare card finds for your friends to see. You can even record commentary directly from inside the game (requires use of camera and microphone).
21 levels packed with 40+ monsters, each with their own unique skills for Crusader to overcome.
Unique and beautiful artwork

*Compatible with the iPhone 4S and up, the iPad 2 and up, the iPad mini and the fifth-generation iPod touch.
Reviews
Not bad, rouge like
Bushibot
Taking a star away, the post fight boss lava flow is not fun and more importantly is buggy as f**k, and dose not play right with the new random slide system. Lots you just can't move were you need to now and invisible walls based on new Fire tiles. Item pickup is still broken about 20-30% of the time. This is fun but has a couple issues. Art and music are cool and I like the concept. Things that bother me. - no text history. I'm often wondering what happened or even what killed me. What did my dude say? What kind of trap was that? Who knows. - health/mana way to hard to see. Same for mobs. - kinda slow and repetitive. - lacks critter variety in early dungs. This could shine but even the 5 year old who was super excited at first wondered off after 10 minutes of the same thing. Plus it's crashing quite a bit. You can continue after a crash but the dungeon respawns and you loose all progress even if you killed a boss :(.
Pro/Con Breakdown
Zherei
Card Dungeon is a great turn-based rogue-like. What I like the most: 1. The fun, challenging gameplay 2. The ad-free and IAP-free nature of the game 3. The well-done retro look and feel My only complaints: 1. One can unlock every trait in a relatively short amount of time, and not all of the traits feel like exciting or interesting choices (though most do). 2. The game does crash occasionally. But now it saves your progress, your collection and wear AND your place in the dungeon, making it very easy to start it up again and continue with no problem. Play this game if: • you love oldschool games • you like card or board games • you enjoy rpg dungeon crawlers You might not enjoy this game if: • you dislike the oldschool look • you dislike turn-based games • a relatively infrequent and non-game-changing crash upsets you Bonus point for Card Dungeon: It runs fine on my iPhone 4.
Way too random
Menotomy Dave
Interesting concept but way too random as cards can fail leaving you no options.
Memory leak; lags on iPad 2 and iPhone 4s.

This game lags on the iPhone 4s and iPad 2. The lags are so bad that the game will crash in less than 5 minutes. It doesn't save your progress either. I usually can't get past the first room on either device. ----update------ Ok now that I upgraded to an iPhone 6 plus it plays great. Its actually pretty good game. I still can't find a way to save progress and I'm not lucky enough to find the store on level 3. I want the store to pop up right next to me when the 3rd level spawns. It would make the game awesome. I'm adding a star and will give 5 stars when I see a way to save the game and buy things from the store easier.
Stay AWAY!!!! Game broken down with no support!

Game ended on the first level with me standing on a platform of about twelve squares, standing in a teleporter that was going nowhere because lava burned everything to the ground. Everything but me on my twelve squares, in my teleporter going nowhere. This might have been one of the award winning games of the year, cast out in the garbage because of incompetence. That really is sad.
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME - Utter trash & made worse by the update

Plane still broken. Cards do not correspond to their outcomes. Still no response from devs regarding issues. << below from six month ago>> I have sent five emails to the devs regarding different game issues with no response from them. It is likely that the positive reviews of the game are ad-spam. Do not support devs who have no respect for users. The devs seem to be convinced that making this game more unpleasant to play is a clever idea. They are wrong. Improved movement helps the game greatly but the self destructing dungeon is a game killer. The utter randomness of the level creation means there is a nearly fifty percent chance that destruction will be triggered by the time the player has entered the fourth room. The devs desire to make the game unwinnable has sucked the remaining playability out of it. -----------------Earlier comments----------------- The game & instructions do not correspond. For instance: Find your previous dead body and collect items. Each dungeon is unique so there is no previous. It's as though much of the game is missing. 1) Too many things happen with no explanation. 2) There is no default attack/weapon so the player is often left not only without a good choice of action but, with no choice of action. 3) Many cards do not behave as described. For example opponent is supposed to "skip" three turns but attacks after next turn. 4) Camera is locked to character making pan option useless. 5) No map overview (see 5) 9) Very slow on a 4th gen iPad A) Clever graphics. B) Finally located market thought it was a preying mantis running around dungeon. C)No clear instruction how to change or increase traits. It is as though the dev intended to hide the procedure from the user. Downgrading to minus one star.
Save your money

Love the game when it works. Sadly, the game crashes all the time and I do mean all the time on my iPad 4. Save your money.
Immediate crash
Wturner89
Just payed for this app and It has crashed twice, both times after selecting level. Fix it or refund my money, please and thanks.
Great... But fix one thing!
SoyGreen
Please make a "confirm" to leave the current level. I have missed loot several times now cause I accidentally tap on the portal to leave. Fix that and it'll be great!!!
