Our rating: starstarstarstarblankstar :: RIMELAND ROGUELITE
This roguelite deckbuilder isn’t perfect on mobile but it has enough charm and novelty to make it worth playing.

Our rating: starstarstarstarblankstar :: GODS PLAN
This puzzly card game asks you to learn quite a bit before you can really start to play it well, but doing so is very rewarding.

Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden review

+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad
By Campbell Bird on April 12th, 2023
Our rating: starstarstarhalfstarblankstar :: KNOW WHEN TO FOLD
This rpg is enjoyable, but its card-based nature hardly makes an impact and the iOS port has some issues that keep it from feeling the most mobile friendly.

+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad
By Campbell Bird on March 14th, 2023
Our rating: starstarstarhalfstarblankstar :: SAVE THE PLANET
This free card game about solving the climate crisis is fine for what it is, mostly because of the enticing price tag.

This deck-building roguelite is fantastic for on-the-go play, even if the mobile port isn’t perfect.

Our rating: starstarstarblankstarblankstar :: MONSTROUS MONETIZATION
This multiplayer game has a solid sense of self but is woefully monetized to intentionally keep matches unbalanced.

RPG Overrogue review

+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad
By Campbell Bird on January 20th, 2022
Our rating: starstarstarstarblankstar :: DEVILISHLY DERIVATIVE
Overrogue finds a way to blatantly rip-off a lot of good ideas and still somehow feel fresh and fun.

The digital adaptation of Dominion is a promising port of a modern classic

Posted by Campbell Bird on July 19th, 2021

iOS has always been a great place to play card and board games digitally, provided the game selection available was to your taste. I've made bunch of great discoveries over the years by trying out titles like Root and Lords of Waterdeep, but what I always secretly wanted all this time was a way to play Dominion on the go.

Thankfully, it seems like I'll be getting exactly what I've been waiting for soon, as Temple Gates Games is currently finishing up a digital version of Dominion for mobile and PC. In a certain way, I already have it, as this version of the game is already in open beta and you can play it right now. If you have any interest at all in Dominion or deck-building games, you should sign up right away.

Steam Link Spotlight - Roguebook

Posted by Campbell Bird on June 23rd, 2021
+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad

Steam Link Spotlight is a feature where we look at PC games that play exceptionally well using the Steam Link app. Our last entry looked at Genesis Noir. Read about how it plays using Steam Link over here.

It's becoming a trend now: PC card games by and large work well on touch interfaces. That is part of the reason why this entry focuses on Roguebook. Other big reasons we're taking a look at it include the fact that Richard Garfield--creator of Magic: The Gathering and (more recently) Keyforge--worked on the design of the card game while the game itself was developed by Abrakam, the team behind what is still my absolute favorite digital collectible card game, Faeria. Side note: Faeria is also great on Steam Link.

Steam Link Spotlight - Neurodeck

Posted by Campbell Bird on March 22nd, 2021
+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad

Steam Link Spotlight is a feature where we look at PC games that play exceptionally well using the Steam Link app. Our last entry looked at Loop Hero. Read about how it plays using Steam Link over here.

This entry for the series goes back to a familiar territory: roguelike deck-building. Neurodeck takes many of the genre conventions galvanized by titles like Dream Quest and Slay the Spire, but places them into a more self-reflective structure where you have psychological battles with phobias and fill out personality tests to earn new traits to help you in battle.
