‘Card Dungeon’ Updated, Promises to Fix and Improve Some of the Game’s Issues

TouchArcade Rating:

Card Dungeon ($2.99) was given the full Shaun Musgrave treatment shortly after release, and it proved to be a game that had some positives, but also some issues along with it. Well, developer Playtap Games has just released an update that they hope will improve the experience for players. One of the big fixes is that the rooms are now smaller, providing for faster play as enemies aren’t so spread out. This was one of the complaints in our review, so this might go a long way towards making it more fun.

Card Dungeon Patch

As well, when out of range of monsters, there’s now a quick move feature that makes it easier to collect items and explore the map when no threats are nearby. The game is now saved after each turn, which makes it better for pick up and play gameplay. To add some additional tension, dungeons now start to disintegrate after the level’s boss is vanquished, making item collection once a level is complete a possible risk! As well, there’s been a variety of tweaks made to card abilities, monster behavior, and boss difficulty. Plus, Playtap promises that many of the bugs and crashes seen in the initial release have been sorted out. The update’s out now if you’re looking for an improved version of this card-battling roguelike.

      Finally !!!!!!

      I ate through this game so fast. I'm really excited to play next but of levels and I'll gladly pay for it. Hope there's no hiccups with the release.

    4. Zerol3onheart

      $2 is a small price to pay for more of this awesome game. Anyone who gripes about that either A) has never played it or B) is the type of person to reuse kitty litter.

      I was worried about these guys after the whale trail thing, but they've proven to be really exceptional devs. Can't wait to keep supporting them.

      This made my day. I knew the game was a little small, so I decided to take my time playing it. Each morning I'd make a cup of coffee and just play one level. It was an enjoyable ritual.

      1. BrettArchibald

        Same here. Just played one level at a time, really savouring it. Not sure I'll be able to manage that this time around though!

      A big LIKE for this news! 👍

      Very good news!

      For a game that took an hour tops to play through I'd really have expected the expansion to be free.

      1. prime31

        Because the expansion pack took zero hours of their time to make? All the art and new levels made themselves? I'm not following along with the logic…

        1. bilboad

          But, but, he paid a whole $3.99 for the game! For that price the devs owe everyone a lifetime of free content updates.

          1. nini

            Hah, silly, he should want to pay $10 to get the game and $5.99 for this expansion like a true core gamer. Anything less is clearly robbery.

        2. dancj

          Because one hour is a pathetically short play time for a game and doubling its size would go some way to fixing that.

          1. Eli Hodapp

            This game isn't for you. That's OK. There's millions of other games you can play.

            1. Pivi

              Exactly. I suggest a free to play crap, that's for the guys who do not appreciate quality.

    11. Ninja_Blade_Diego

      I would've gladly paid the original price of $3.99 all over again because this game is worth it. this game will always be a classic. Can't wait for the expansion pack!! Anyone who's played and finished the game will agree. Those that start bitching about being charged for it are either 1.)people who never played it 2.)People who never finished it or 3.) little whiny girls that got their pigtails in too tight!!!

    12. Jake7905

      These are the kind of IAP's we (TA users) should be encouraging and supporting: downloadable content. The developers have put in their time in energy expanding on an already great game, and deserve to be paid for it. I've got my 2 bucks ready and waiting.

    13. spike17spiegel

      Awesome! Loved the game and can't wait for more!

    14. Diego

      Can't wait. So dope.

      A true work of art, and a moving experience. Monument Valley is a game that you just don't forget about. I've even used their in game art for wallpapers on my iPhone. SO excited for this new DLC!

    16. tsargeant3012

      Actually pleased this isn't free. If a dev actually wants to make a living, people have got to have this self entitled, all updates free forever, kinda attitude broken. I'm all for supporting devs that make something I enjoy as much as I did this.

      Looking forward
