This is a great puzzle game that you can play with a simple deck of cards. The solo game is also well done and worth the money, but it’s missing some basic quality of life features to make it truly great. For example, being able to continue a game that you started is a basic feature that this is missing. If you stay away from the game long enough and the app restarts itself, you also need to start your game from scratch. It would also be great to be able to sort the cards in your hand by rank or suit.
Regicide is VERY DIFFICULT! But that doesn't stop me playing. It's a fantastic game either solo or with a 2-4p. I'd give the app 4.9* if I could. Just some minor tweaks I'd ask for. As another has mentioned, make the "draw" and "heal" notifications sticky or permanent somewhere on the screen. When healing cards, you have to shuffle the discard. By the time you're done, you've forgotten how many to heal. Other tweak: the music is very nice and fitting to the theme. However, it would be great to have the preference to turn off music and sound to remain when closing and reopening the app. Solo mode: it's a little tough to find the rules to solo. Suffice it to say, the only real differences are your hand is 8 cards and the jokers are used to discard your current hand and draw a new set of 8. If you can win without using a joker: GOLD! One joker: Silver. Both: bronze. The official solo rules don't say, but I'd suggest you can also use a joker to heal 8 if you run short on the draw pile.
This is one of the best solitaire implementations I’ve ever come across. I randomly found it, and got the app for the solo experience, which is a very, very fair price. I happily support developers who monetize fairly with no ads or crazy IAP. The design aesthetic is what drew me in. Also that it’s a quick-play solo experience, perfect for a work break. It’s easy to learn, and the UI and app function are flawless. The whole concept and gameplay are AWESOME. One of the most clever ideas for solitaire I’ve come across. 50 stars for that alone! Another 50 for the artwork and how smoothly it plays. The file size is huge, I’m not sure why, I’d usually bypass on such a huge file, but it’s worth how good the game is. It’s also good on battery. That said, I thought the card game Friday was hard. This seems harder. I’ve beat Friday several times. I can’t beat this. So far I’ve never made it past the Queens to fight the Kings. I’ve watched videos online, so I know I’m approaching the play correctly, but I guess things haven’t lined up right yet. Still, it’s quick to play, and enjoyable, so I’ll stick with it, for now at least. I’d like to beat it at least once! I highly recommend this game. It’s definitely addictive. But beware you are going to lose constantly, and that win might be elusive. But if you do win, that will feel amazing!
An ingenious, simple game but limited room for growth
This game is ingenious. They made a new (and good!) game out of a standard 52-card deck of cards. Moreover, they harnessed and elevated the royal court theme inherent to the cards’ design by crafting a simple story around the objective of the game. I literally found myself wondering if this was somehow the original card game and I just never heard of it. The minimalist renaissance music and art is truly excellent. I gave the game 5 stars for its low price and perfect form, but your mileage with replay-ability will vary. The solo game is appropriately difficult, but once you beat it, incentives to replay drop off markedly and I can’t think of ways to improve this dynamic. Maybe more achievements?
I bought the one time fee solo mode. I’m still learning it. However I would like to be “graded” on how I am doing besides defeat. I would like to know if I got further this time than last time. You could implement some sort of counting of the Enemy cards that we were unable to destroy before the defeat. I have yet to win. But it doesn’t stop me from playing. I just would like to know how well I did with regard to my prior scores. Thank you for considering
I discovered this game only weeks ago and I’ve been hooked and pushing it to anyone who would listen. Props to everyone involved. Got the solo purchase and a few sets of cards to further support the effort and they are great. Only one nitpick on the companion app: I wish orientation could rotate to either of the two sides. Currently I have to rotate the phone to what the app picked as the correct side. But other than that, solid.
Seems like a solid start for a companion app however
Seems like a solid start however it’s a little surprising that this companion app doesn’t contain a button for the rules, a link to the [current version of] rules, or even a player aid summery you cal call up. Also makes me wish they had gone all the way and implemented a solo play game mode (in-app purchase?) so I could play with no cards while on the go. P.S. the game itself is neat.
I love this game, and I’m so excited the companion app is out! Using the camera to scan cards is pure genius. But there is one minor issue: the iPad app uses the rear facing camera, rather than the front-facing camera. Hopefully this is fixed soon, but currently it’s really awkward to try to hold your cards behind the ipad.
Makes playing the farms a breeze, is super simple to use and quickly understand how everything works. Only feedback I’d give is sometimes it’s hard to remember the result of a turn with all the cars management, rather than the little pop-up descriptions floating off it’d be great to have it live somewhere or be manually dismissible!
This brings hidden value to any deck pf playing cards tucked away. Of course there’s solitaire and its ilk, but this is TACTICAL solitaire. The flavor unearthed from mundane jacks, jokers, 2’s through 10’s will have looking at playing cards in a whole new light.
I love the aesthetics of the art and app. Question: it seems that the suit power of my animal companions doesn’t work when used in conjunction with face cards. Is this the rule? Or an oversight?
This is very well developed and an awesome game. The reason why I give it 1 star instead of 5 is because the developer has chosen to lock the solo play and charge extra for it. Why not state it in the description in the App Store or just charge the full amount and have it unlocked. The way the developer goes about it is shady.
Haven’t won the game yet but I will NOT stop trying! I absolutely love this game and the app help with the thematic immersion and it’s absolutely wonderful ❤️
Regicide is an amazingly good game and the app is a great way to play it solo. I haven’t used the app to track a multiplayer game yet, but for the solo play alone the app is worthwhile.
Two ways to play: Launch the companion app for the tabletop card game Regicide so you can easily track enemy health and attack. See at a glance which enemies you've defeated and which are upcoming. Or launch Solo Mode to play the full, official single player version of Regicide right inside the app!
