- 148Apps10Meteorfall: Krumit's Tale is simply an exquisite package. It is a well considered and significant evolution of Meteorfall: Journey and then some. The preponderance of modes, loads of personality, and tons of convenience features add so much to what is already a fantastic game at its core. This is a must-buy.
- Pocket Tactics9.0Meteorfall: Krumit's Tale is roguelike deck building at its best - quirky, inventive, and most of all, fun
- Pocket Gamer8.0Krumit’s Tale is a whimsical journey that tasks you to play your cards right to save a dying world. The fun deck building roguelike is frustratingly challenging but highly addicting, but the lack of a deeper storyline puts the quirky descriptions of every creature and item to waste. Still, the incredibly well-thought-out mechanics make the game well worth the purchase, but be warned: you have to be ready to spend huge chunks of your time dodging poisonous slugs and trying to off a naked guy with a penchant for chewing on wood.

Tale Of The Tape
Gameplay: 2.5 (Wonderful, wish more games used this model) Monetization: 2.5 (Wonderful, wish more games used this model) Replayability: 2 (Done very well and made the experience a worthwhile one) Atmosphere: 2 (Done very well and made the experience a worthwhile one) Score: 9 Personal Play Time: 6 Hours Krumit's Tale, part of the Meteorfall game series, plunges you into a challenging, yet addictive deck-building experience. Here, death is an inevitable companion; each failed build prompts a refresh, pushing you to iterate and strategize endlessly. While not one to coddle players, this game's tough love approach is precisely what makes it shine amidst mobile deck builders. The game mechanics follow a Card Hog-like format, offering a fresh take on the typical deck-building concept. You face enemies in a tactical order, clearing levels strategically by adding cards—abilities, equipment, and weapons—to your deck using earned gold. The telegraphed enemy attacks bring predictability to battles, with well-timed blocks allowing for stunning opponents. Moreover, post-level completion grants a new card and a perk, refining your character's abilities—a fine blend of strategy and roguelike mechanics. Meteorfall's familiar characters and archetypes add a nostalgic touch, ensuring a sense of continuity within the series. The visual charm remains intact, complementing the gameplay dynamics. The perk system, with its conditional triggers, adds depth to each run, offering uniqueness despite class limitations. Yet, certain drawbacks slightly hinder the experience. The initial dungeons seem inconsequential and follow a fixed outcome, making early-game progress feel like a preparatory phase for later challenges. Additionally, the realization that some runs are unsalvageable can be frustrating, despite foreknowledge of enemy attacks and card draws. At $6.99, Krumit's Tale offers a comprehensive gaming experience. In roughly six hours of play, securing a single victorious run emphasizes its challenging nature. The game loop, centered on unlocking new cards and experiencing diverse runs, keeps the experience engaging. Despite its slow start, MeteorFall: Krumit’s Tale remains a worthwhile addition to your gaming library. [59NsJ8t3nEk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59NsJ8t3nEk)
