    Well to be fair most of the special cards do a specific thing. Killing blow, leech, etc. it's only a few like Morph that have unexpected consequences and I kinda like that. If you don't you could always play constructed and not use the few cards that have a deliberate random factor.

    I think it's great the game gives you these two very different ways to play.

    That's your opinion and your entitled to it. I'm not gonna save up 300 coins to buy a card that gets nerfed. I had to play a lot of games to get the coins for the skill and then it gets nerfed. Am I gonna go through hoops again to buy another skill? Nope!!

    Still don't understand of which special card you are talking about. Getting together 300 gold to unlock a card is just about 5 games or about 20 minutes. You still have not unlocked all cards? This happens quite fast. How can you talk about special cards when you don't know the effect of all? Did you ever play in constructed mode where you select 5 special cards for your deck? Just drag out the ones you don't like and be happy.

    I got that once, and I turned it into coins with Midas. That was a good feeling.

    Man this is silly. The game gives you bonus gold so to get 300 coins even at the lowest scoring might be six or seven games.

    More importantly. If it's a chore to actually play the game (for any reason) then it sounds like it's just not the game for you. I play it for fun while I watch tv and all the gold that builds up is secondary. I wouldn't like jumping through hoops either.

    So, didn't realize until I read it here that Fortify now works on cards like Lash. No wonder they nerfed it. 8 damage to 3 cards? Guess which two cards would never come out of my constructed deck?

    Still playing the game casually. Can't say the update made a huge impact to me but I really appreciate the decoupling of swords and shields.

    Not to take anything away from Card Crawl, but for anyone who wants a very challenging game, give Donsol a shot. It's a similar game, but with a very brutal, minimalistic setup. It took me 3 days of playing just to survive the first dungeon...

    PS> I'm still playing Card Crawl on Normal mode. Haven't unlocked all the cards yet. I like the new shuffling, OK with nerfing, but not so keen cards having randomized effects - I really think that if it has an effect, it should be definitive, and predictable. The only variable should be the shuffle (and random draws) IMHO.

    I enjoyed trying to acquire the skill cards but if they're going to be continually nerfed then what's the point of going after them. That spoils some of the fun for me. But that's just me. Sorry if it sounds silly to you.

    Yes. You are a troll. "Continually nerfed"... Lmao. After one update? All your posts only show that you can't beat this game and this makes you mad. If you don't have to say anything constructive, just stop posting here. Even toucharcade made a post about the update and the better ballance of it.

    Special cards

    Can someone please make a more clear overview of what all the special cards do? :confused: It is too time consuming to unlock them all.Currently I know nothing about the following:
    Reflect, Betrayal, Revive, Frenzy, Lucky Shot, Trade, Swap, Morph, Fortify, Midas Scarf

    This now works perfectly on my iPhone 4S 7.0.4. I am so happy to be able to play it out to completion. This game is so good that despite the significant differences in style it may very well supplant Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer as my goto card game. Thank you for taking the time to provide additional support for older devices.

    Cool. Glad to hear it works now. There can be still crashes, because the game is not made for those "older" devices but the new version should at least reduce the crashes greatly.

    At the end of the week i will also post about our plans for the next updated which will be the "Content Update".

    Which weapon? Do you mean a specific special card? You start with 5 specials and can unlock 15 more from winnng games of normal or constructed. Only 5 of these special cards can be used in a game, in normal these cards are chosen randomly while in constructed you are free to choose which 5 (of the specials you've unlocked so far) you use.

    This is a pretty impressive update. Lotta little things which add up to considerable more polish. Just keeps getting better!

    The little animated touches... Like the discard box...are sweet indeed.

    The installed file size is not smaller, a little bit bigger about 15mb.

    The unusual weapon is a hidden achievement. It involes combing two ability cards ;).

    24 damage and hit twice achievements

    so i've been able to do both but neither resulted in getting the achievement.

    - hit twice is 'frenzy' right?
    - 24 damage took some thinking but i buffed a 7 sword +5 to 12 and then did frenzy = 24 total damage


    but neither achievement hits. these are my last too.


    anyone have any insight?


    thanks.
