A hidden treasure with a few minor bugs
Wed Jun 02 2021 WingedBeauxThis is maybe one of the best roguelike deckbuilding I’ve run into because it does a few things to bring a spin to the formula.
The main draw is having your discard and draw piles double as your health. Every time an enemy hits you he steals some of the cards underneath their card. This means you have to balance prioritizing harder hitting enemies, ranged enemies, and who has the most of your cards/life.
The base character is straight forward to start but every other unlockable character adds quite a twist to the formula. The Bugmaster in particular was a favorite of mine as most of their cards work as buffs and debuffs when held by the enemies. So one in particular makes your attacks hit all enemies of one enemy has the card in their hands.
It’s a great game I keep coming back to and has no microtransactions or gimmicks. You buy once you play all you want. There have been one or two minor bugs such as a card that gets stuck in the hand area until the end of the floor but nothing that’s ever been truly game breaking.
Don’t miss this game. It’s worth way more than
The countless free-to-play trash with endless grinds and energy meters.
Solid card/roguelike
Sat Jun 13 2020 GrudunzaSolid entry in the card/roguelike genre, and so far I’m preferring it to their last game, Blood Card. Interesting decisions to make, and a good challenge for survival. One big wish, though, for an update, are more icons on the cards. It’s been a pain, especially when first trying to learn the game (but a pain regardless), not to be able to see what cards do, even broadly (e.g., 2 damage), without selecting and reading the card. The sword is already in the top right... just put the attack damage number there, like the enemies have in the lower left.
Very fun game
Tue Jul 07 2020 GeerraffeI’m a big fan of card roguelikes and this one definitely stands out. It’s gameplay is unique of cards entering and leaving your life/discard piles and going into the monster “hand,” it adds a lot of interesting strategy and it moves quickly enough I don’t find myself waiting for cards to play out. Apart from having a repeated issue with the stargaze card freezing gameplay, I haven’t noticed any major bugs and have cleared up to difficulty 4 (once with each class). I definitely recommend it and for $0.99 it’s a steal!
Great take on deck building roguelike
Fri Jul 03 2020 MgddpubI’m a deck building rogue fan and only a few games have really added to the mechanics of the first of the genre: Dream Quest. Slay the Spire has, Monster Train has, and now Dark Mist. One of the thing that strikes me the most is how unique the classes are. Not only do they play vastly differently from each other, but they don’t play like other games in the genre. Too soon to tell if is balanced but it’s fun while I figure it out. Well done developers. The game is visually rough around the edges but it’s a hell of a lot better than dream quest.
Great Innovations
Sat Dec 25 2021 Frustrated ex-fanI have played a lot of card-based rogue-likes and I was impressed how creative this game was in that genre, from the classes to the core mechanics of using you deck as your life and fighting a horde of enemies in each level, not one at a time. Of course other games have done many of the same things but it comes together to make a very fun and refreshing experience
Amazing Game 5/5...But
Thu Jul 30 2020 Raulin ArakothAs title says 5/5, but there is a bug and the for some reason the contact email keeps refusing my gmail message. I love the prophetess, and spirit guide is my favorite card, but I can’t get the game to use targeted attacks from the top of the deck when using it, I hope this gets fixed soon because it has so much wonderful potential. (It is my favorite because of its combo power with the tentacle prop, and the wheel of fortune card, allowing you to kill everything in the field by ending your turn.)
I’ve been dying to play more card games
Thu Jul 09 2020 magic00Currently I’ve unlocked every character. They are all super fun in their own way. I wish there was more characters. Idk how long it will stay on my phone but it’s solid gameplay with easily hours of fun. I expect greater things to come. Overall very fun.
Really unique mechanics!
Thu Jun 25 2020 Sir cucumberEnemies take your cards when they hit you, which you can then turn around to unlock other cool abilities. Really interesting and solid! I only wish the game didn’t restart so easily when I spend time in other apps...
Great game. Hire an artist
Tue Oct 06 2020 Lost in Mexico somewhereTo the devs: Great game. Very fresh gameplay. This game is too good to have such generic artwork. If Dark Mist had some custom art, it could have been featured on the App Store.
To potential buyers: Congrats on finding this gem. I know it must have taken some scrolling. Now buy it.
Great game, rough edges, excellent value
Wed Apr 05 2023 nuke-le-o-genesisThis is an excellent game. There are a few things I could gripe on but overall, for the money, this is a blast. If you like deck builders and CCG this is definitely worth the time and money.
