Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. I have a hard time calling this a 'game' at all. It's a gambling simulator without the payout. The 'challenge' in the title is a joke—the only challenge is keeping your thumb from hitting the 'buy more coins' button. The graphics are gaudy and loud, meant to trigger those dopamine hits, but it’s completely hollow.
I’ve seen dozens of these on the store, and Magnin brings nothing new to the table. It’s a Skinner box in its purest, most cynical form. If you want to play cards, find a dedicated Poker or Blackjack app that doesn't feel like it's trying to pick your pocket every five seconds. For an actual gamer, there is zero substance here. Avoid it.
