Comments
Well done, sir!
A triumph of game accessibility advocacy. I just bought the game and defeated my first enemies. In my opinion, even better than Slay the Spire because accessibility was added by the developer himself, rather than via mods. Will definitely pick this up if it comes to PC.
Needs better tutorial and voiceover fixes
I don't know if it is a glitch or not, but the tutorial only showed up once I tried ending my turn when I still had mana. Before that it just did the intro dialogue and then plopped me into the map without a word.
Another thing is that the voiceover curser gets stuck on elements, mostly a single card in my hand and it's hard to access the bottom bar. One time it got so bad I had to restart the app to unstick the curser. I already mentioned these problems in a review, but thought I'd also talk about them here.
reply
please don't send a bad review in the app store because voiceover only jump focus when you switch between apps, it happens with other games that use this accessibility plugin as well, it's not the developer's fault.
the tutorial explains things as needed, it doesn't give you everything at once so you have the time to experiment and feel how the game works.
dying and getting better next time is one of the things that define a roguelike. you will die a lot and learn.
also you don't have to keep swipping to find what you want. you can explore the screen with one finger and find what you're looking for. the draw button is at the bottom right for example, end turn is bottom left, and right above it is your hand.
dos it a video game or text game?
does it a mainstream games or text base game
Mainstream
Complete with music and sound effects. I've noticed that games that use the accessibility plugin tend to have a bit of a lag with VoiceOver, so if you notice a longish pause between the reading of the labels of buttons and the word button, it's a bug with the Unity plugin. I just died to a swarm of enemies.
good
download the game.
and play a little bit.
hope the developer will strenthen the sounds and make it more better...
Sounds good but issues because of direct touch
I love the sound of this game however when I tap on the screen all I hear is direct touch direct touch. How do I play this game and get rid of it saying direct touch I really donāt like this at all itās just makes it more difficult in my opinion to play the game. Can anyone help?
Turn on Direct touch
YOu can then play as normal.
yes turn on direct touch
yeh use the rolter to reach the direct touch thenswipe down to turn on direct touch!

matheus, I trusted you
And you delivered once again. Another great game I have learned from you. Thanks a lot.
wow!
man, besides this and Cyber cards, I don't know which one I like better! Loving this as well! Great work.

ok. one problem... when lose the game. I can not back to the saf
I hope the next version can let us back to the safing point when lose the game Instead of playing over again
I don't actually have theā¦
I don't actually have the game, but in a typical roguelike, saving and undoing are not on the table. If you kick the bucket, well, you kicked the bucket.
No undoing
To answer the previous comments, no there is no undoing in the game.
The game will autosave obviously if you put it down and want to go back later (that is what continue on the main menu is for), but once you die, it's curtains!
The only thing that does carry on is once you kill a boss you get gems which you need to save up to unlock different characters to play. I'm also told you can earn keys, IE higher difficulties by completing the game, but I've not got that far yet myself.
On the plus sides, great sound, great accessibility, and addictive, if tough gameplay! absolutely a must for strategy and rpg fans, hence why I've put in a recommendation too!
Two questions in one comment
Hi, thereās two questions number one how can I get beyond level two? Number two where do you get gems from?
Any strategies?Q
Hi there, so I was wondering, does anyone have any strategies or advice to get through the game? For example, what cards are best to use and what things are best to collect from the loot food and weapons bags?
First, you get gems by goingā¦
First, you get gems by going throughthe 5 levels and defeating the boss at the end. Every time you do that, you get gems.
As for completing level two, I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but basically, you fight on level 1 until it says "exit level" instead of letting you loot something. when you get to level 2 you have a choice, say, the alter and a battle - it's not always the same. by choosing one, you can't do the other, and have to go on to level 3.
And finally, strategy. I don't think I can really answer that. It depends on what you already have when you loot and what your health is and what enemies you're facing. I will say that I've found the weapon you choose as the first thing you loot on level 1 is kind of important and can shape your whole approach to the battles. Choosing a bow for example is a lot different from, say, a sword, and the other powers the weapons have can make things very interesting.
Really, though, that's sort of the point of a rogue like. You die over and over again, experiment with what happens when you choose certain things and the best approaches for different monsters.
goo game
I think I finished the first round. and get 8 gems
and need 2 more to unlock the new Character
So i defeated the mid boss
And i cant go any further .does any one kno what to do?
It's really the same answer for the last two questions
Just keep repeating the same 5 levels. As you do it, you'll unlock new characters and unlock new keys and find new cards.
I mean sure, eventually you'll find everything, but all the characters are pretty different to play, and the keys can really increase the difficulty. As I think I said before, that's roguelikes for you. Same mechanics, but the random interactions between monsters and cards and characters and equipment are what makes it interesting.
This game is so good, can't understand the bad stuff
I didn't know how much I was going to like this. It is addicting to me. I haven't had any problem getting started. The tutorial is to learn as you play. The best cards and equipment is what you can make work for you, this game takes some thinking. Maybe some won't be able to play, but it's not cause of function or accessibility.
Developer interview
I am the founder of Mobile Accessible Games, which does reviews of games that are accessible for the blind and visually impaired on smart phones. We also interview game developers to talk about their process in creating an accessible game.

Or if the originator of this posting, who seems to have been in contact with the developer is willing to share my email with the developer, that would be appreciated.
Fish
what's with the fish? Not a complaint. I'm just curious.
Also, on my last play through the draw card button. Disabled for no discernible reason. I'm not sure if I've missed something or it was a glitch, but I just thought I'd make people aware.
very nice work. :-)
It's all about cards.
IF you get fish, you might have a card that says something like, this card does x amount of damage and costs 4 mana,, costs 1 less for each fish in your hand.
This game is a really nice time killer.
I love the random aspect, for example, I had an event where I got 1extra mana but lost 5 hp perminetly for the wrest of the run.
They can also be a pain inā¦
They can also be a pain in the butt when you end up with a bunch of them in your hand, though, āŗļø.
Also, about the draw card button, there are things in the game that can disable that. For example, being attacked by a serpent or having certain weapons, believe it or not. Trust me, almost anything goes in this game.
Oh yeah.
They can. I thought i'd be frustrated by this game, I've died so many times but it doesn't bother me.
thanks
it's good for insomnia too. :-) The game I mean. :-) Thanks for the help. :-)
I never thought of that.
But yeah, it would be.
Discarding a card
Hi there,
This game is great, but a few of the weapons say that you'll get more hit points with the amount of cards that you discard per turn. I can't find a way of doing that. I can only play cards, not discard them. Am I missing something?
I don't think you can
Not directly anyway. There are some weapons that discard cards when you use them, and some spells too. Also knights steal them, although I'm not sure if thats discarding or not.
Lost food item without eating it, I think
I was playing my second play through in the same game, when I found a pumpkin in a food bag. I took it because, health, but when I was down to one health and went to eat the pumpkin, it had somehow gone. I'm 99.9% sure that I didn't eat it, I just thought I'd let people know in case there was some kind of glitch.
It could be a bug, but it'sā¦
It could be a bug, but it's more likely just a side effect of something in the game. As I said before, either you've been hit by a knight, or a spell or weapon has the side effect of discarding cards.
yeah probably. I also have a suggestion.
yeah probably. I don't have the best attention span sometimes. :-)
Could it be possible to add a function in the settings that disAbles the speech so that sighted people can play the game as well as blind people or people with partial sight? Some sighted people find screen readers very distracting and I think a lot of sighted people will enjoy playing this game. I don't mean to offend anyone with my phrasing.
You don't need to.
If voiceover is off, i'm sure the game can be played.
yes, butā¦
The game is playable without VoiceOver on, but it uses Apple speech engine instead of VoiceOver.
disable speech
Hi,
If you want to disable all speech turn off voiceover and if apple speech is still enabled perform a 3 finger tripple tap to disable it. I believe this is because it uses the unity engine. Hope this helps.
i'm finally getting the point. :-)
thank you. Should've thought of that myself. I'll remember that.
noticed an issue with one of the cards.
this might just be me again, but I've noticed that whenever I use the lava card I take one damage as well as delivering damage to the enemies. The fact that you take one damage is not in the card description I just thought someone would like to know.
I always assumed it was. Ifā¦
I always assumed it was. If I remember right that one says 2 HP damage to everyone. Always figured that included me.
