Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. I have a soft spot for games that don't waste my time. Dungeon Cards is pure, unadulterated strategy. No fluff, no 20-minute tutorials. You move your card, you kill a goblin, you pick up a potion. But every move matters. One wrong step and the whole grid collapses on you.
It reminds me of 'Look, Your Loot!' but with more character variety. The pixel art is clean and functional, exactly what you need for this type of game. It’s hard—very hard—and that’s how I like it. My only gripe is that once you’ve mastered a specific class, the runs can start to feel similar. But for a free game with minimal ads, it’s one of the best 'wait at the dentist' games I've found in years.
