1. [R5] Black Deck 5/5 · US SERIOUSLY Addictive: This game is legitimately SO fun and is incredible for anyone who even remotely enjoys card games. The amount of work and attention to detail in giving different abilities and skills to both the cards and equipment is incredible work and it’s very satisfying finding a combination that powers up your deck. Many people complain about the amount of “pop-up” ads but they take 2 se
2. [R26] Black Deck 5/5 · US A blast to play: I have no complaints with this game and have been playing for 6-7 months now! I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes CCG style games
3. [R57] Hearthstone 1/5 · GB Tragic: Do not pay attention to people trying to give this game credit for being “the best card game out rn”, the bar for this genre is so low it’s honestly depressing, I have played this game for over a decade on and off and only come back for nostalgic purposes and was a commonly legend (before they made it easy for everyone), the devs need to pack up their stuff and let the game die or bring so
4. [R62] Hearthstone 3/5 · GB Exhausting.: I’ve played Hearthstone for maybe 8 years.. I’ve loved it and especially loved battlegrounds. But the game crashes almost ever time I play battlegrounds making the game unplayable and extremely infuriating. I use an iPhone 12 and not one other single game I play crashes.. but hearthstone? 95% of the time I play with it crashing multiple times I play PER GAME I PLAY! It’s sad to say
5. [R11] Black Deck 4/5 · US I always rate and spend money on free games that I like, BUT, : This game is fun and addicting, but I have never been SO INUNDATED BY POP-UPS OFFERING ME IN-GAME PERKS IN EXCHANGE FOR REAL-WORLD MONEY. When I log in and just try to get to playing, something like 12 separate offers pop up and prevent me from doing anything until I close the windows. It is SO spam-y and annoying that I couldn’t give
6. [R21] Black Deck 3/5 · US Too many pop ups: I would love to give this game 5 stars because it plays really well and is fun, BUT there is so many pop ups for events and “deals” for pay to play items. I don’t know how many beginners want the $40 deal offered once you start playing but I know I don’t need to see it 5 times in a hour of play to consider uninstalling the app.
7. [R51] Hearthstone 1/5 · GB This game is coded by idiots: The game crashes every two minutes, go into the store crash want to play a match, crash and lose a turn. Get your act together you group of intelligently deficient monkeys
8. [R67] Hearthstone 1/5 · GB Extremely buggy, continuously crashes.: Cannot get the game to stay open for a minute without it crashing for seemingly no reason, can’t navigate the shop screen can’t play the game. Uninstalling this game since it doesn’t work properly.
9. [R25] Black Deck 2/5 · US The game is crashing: It was working fine before but now the app keeps crashing.
10. [R28] Black Deck 4/5 · US Losing when crashing: Dear devs I love the game I have been playing it for a while and you guys are always fixing bugs but one bug that has yet to ever be fix is when the game crashes during a battle you just lose a war just started I go to attack game crashes I can’t attack with the deck anymore and I have nothing to show for it
11. [R60] Hearthstone 1/5 · GB Crashes all the time: Constant crashes, game is unplayable
12. [R87] Hearthstone 1/5 · GB Unplayable: Play any other card game instead. Game crashes constantly on an iPad and is unplayable. There is no joy here.
13. [R20] Black Deck 5/5 · US Very fun but you will probably need to spend about 25-40$: I’m not gonna lie this game is ridiculously addictive and a ton of fun the community is good but you will want to spend some money other wise you will progress slower than a fly in honey. That being said I personally thought it was worth it because of how fun the game is and how much I play it everyday, now there are a lot of opportunities
14. [R36] Black Deck 4/5 · US Good But Overpriced Additions: This game is really great. I enjoy it a lot. The problem that I have with it is that I would like to support the game with purchases but everything is just so overpriced. Even very small purchases that are only a couple of character tokens is like $5. That is for one basic character token and a couple thousand gold. You can literally get that by playing 10 levels of
15. [R77] Hearthstone 1/5 · GB Too expensive now: I remember back in 2017 when this game with Journey to Ungoro, Knights of the Frozen Throne and Kobolds and Catacombs when Ben Brode was still around was AMAZING! Now it just feels soul less, money grubby and hollow. It is a shame, since back in the day I gave it 4/5, but I now have to rescind that score due to design flaws, inconsistent game balance, lack of game modes, formats
16. [R93] Hearthstone 1/5 · GB App doesn’t work: Great game but app doesn’t work - crashes multiple times per game. Alot of monetisation too, becoming more and more pay to win.
17. [R4] Black Deck 1/5 · US Does this game have live customer support?: I really want to know if the feedback system for this game actually works! No response to emails, feedback being ignored, bugs left unfixed, how can this game be so poorly made? How long do we players, who are suffering from these bugs, have to wait?
18. [R41] Black Deck 1/5 · US Don’t ever give them money. I wish you could give someone negative stars: The game itself is fun. But I am trying to find a way to get refunded some money. I made 2, $40 purchases and they charged me over $60 for each and last night I made a $25 purchase and got charged almost $50. Do not buy anything from this game. Update. They refunded me my money but now I am banned from playing half of my g
19. [R92] Hearthstone 1/5 · GB Crashing constantly.: Played this game since release and finally done. Can’t even play a single game on iPhone or PC without crashing. I know this will fall in death ears I just want to vent. Blizzard, you suck.
20. [R94] Hearthstone 2/5 · GB Crashes all the time: On iPhone, the game crashes mid battlegrounds quite often, in arena selection and crashes the most during being in the shop which makes the game virtually unplayable by mobile for now unfortunately, used to play a lot back in the day but little things like this will make it hard for people like me to play again as I don’t have the time to keep reloading the game and missing t
21. [R27] Black Deck 2/5 · US Typical pay to play: No matter what the other reviews say. This is a pay to play app. Otherwise you do not stand a chance of ever succeeding. And furthermore, the cost of items in the store are expensive to say the least.
