    An overall great game.

    I found this game awhile back, maybe 1 year ago. Ever sense then, I’ve been hooked on it. The game takes something that I personally find relatively uninteresting (Solitare), and makes in an enjoyable experience. With it’s great art style, that’s choice of colors fits the mood of the game perfectly; the equipment cards makes the game even more interesting, by using its effects, it let’s you devise strategies that you couldn’t do otherwise without them. And I Love the hideout mechanic, it allows for a unique way to play the game so it wont get stale. And while the music Isn't a large feature, it’s solid non the less. I could nitpick at some minor things like the lack of unique enemies, and how all the areas look the same(excluding the chests). But I’m not gonna. Because all in all, if you love stealth, this is a must get; it’s free so why not?

    Card Thief

    My oh my! Card Thief is EXCELLENT, but what was even better was Arnold Rauers very quick response to the issue of the game crashing on my iPad 2. He suggested turning on the power save option in the Card Thief options, so the card animations wouldn't bog the game down to a crawl. That did the trick! Anybody having crashing issues should do this right away. Now, about the game. I've played Card Crawl every day since I downloaded it, and I can say Card Thief is just as good, if not better. Great graphics, sound, control, and gameplay. It's definitely harder than Card Thief, but that's ok with me. There's a little more luck involved when playing Card Thief, but not enough to throw the fun and playability of the game off. All in all a very good purchase for $2.99. Thanks Arnold Rauers and Tiny Touch Tales for this wonderful game of thievery. Keep up the good work!

    Amazing game can't put it down!

    Beautiful design style and unique game play! I haven't loved a mobile game like this in a long time. The tutorial is not the easiest to follow and game does have a learning curve but once you get the basics of movement down you will love it! Every time you beat a round is super rewarding, not like grinding out the 569th level of Candy Crush. The balance between strategy and luck keeps it interesting and the lack of freemium crap is utterly refreshing in the current landscape.

    Way more fun than expected

    I didn’t think I would like Card Thief but I was pleasantly surprised. Card Thief was an addictive came with beautiful graphics and captivating music. It’s one of those games that gets in your head and you still hear the music even after you put the phone down. Eventually the game got repetitive and there were no more challenges. If you’re OK with spending $2.99 for a few weeks of addictive entertainment, this game is definitely for you.

    Finally

    I have been waiting for a game like this for a while. I am really into rogue-like games and also card games. This game perfectly combines the two to make a great game with infinite possibilities and creative solutions. But what really elevates this game is the great art and animations. The art style really helps set the mood and the subtle animations are really well done. My only complaint is that the tutorial could be better, but once you start playing it will make sense.

    Fabulous Developer

    This is much better than most mobile games and much better than most card games. Tiny Touch Tales seems way above the competition in all aspects including art, design, mechanics, music, sound effects... Card Crawl and Mystical Merchant are also must-haves. So much bang for your buck! Instead of wasting time with lame free games littered with ads, invest a few dollars in high quality mobile games you will not get bored with!



  • By Sparky👾✨🌑

    😊😊😊

    The game is amazing. Although the game is good there is a problem that need to be fixed. Theres a problem with the objectives, I complete the objectives multiple times but i can never level the cards up....if you fix these problems it'll be 5 stars from me. The game is now working for me and I've been updating my cards like crazy. I will most likely always buy the cards games this company develops. 😊 best



  • By Yuko53

    Utterly charming

    The art, the sound effects, the references to card crawl, everything about this game is vastly pleasing. It’s harder than the other two games, but learning a new tactic, finding out about a new way to accomplish something is that much more satisfying. And this from someone who is really lousy at this kind of game. But I wish the devs would give the option to play it in German!



  • By WRS15743

    Great game!

    I like this even better than Card Crawl (and that is great too). I like that each game just takes a few minutes, but I always want to keep playing just one more. The tutorial is great too. And after a couple runs you’ll get the hang of it. Another great game by a good developer who prices things fairly with no IAPs. We need more developers like this!



  • By Daloney

    The BEST

    One of the best games, PERIOD, that i have played. Its reliably challenging and super addictive. The learning curve is pretty rough and it might be easy to put it down in the beginning but if you stick with it, I PROMISE you wont be sorry. When its all said and done this game requires some work but take some time and you will feel like you've truly mastered something.



  • By Great gamrr

    Beautiful game

    Its a great game.. and heres the "but" .. I understand its a strategy game and it should be hard but i feel like there should be a way we players can earn items without really completing each level because at the moment its very difficult to get through this part im on ,thank you

    Awesome Game

    Very fun to play. It appeals to the ever growing subset of people with short attention spans. Too short now to enjoy the games of my youth. I guess you could also chalk it up to the fact that I have a lot less free time than I used to. But even when I do have the time, I find myself unwilling to invest more than a few hours at a time to any one game. To that end, there's no shortage of quick one-off games for me to play, but most are severely lacking in quality and depth. I may not devote the same amount of time to games as I used to, but I still want to be entertained. Card Thief does just that. It's difficult enough to be just the right amount of frustrating which, paradoxically enough, is a quality that keeps me coming back for more. As fun and engaging as this game is, it still leaves a bit to be desired in terms of content. There isn't much of a story behind the character and his motivation is a mystery. The hideout was welcome addition, adding three new challenges to shake up the core gameplay, which does indeed become repetitive towards the end game. Requiring stolen goods from the base game with a time limit to play the hideout challenges does offer some motivation to play through the old castles. Unfortunately, instead of adding new skill cards with new abilities, the only reward offered for playing the new challenges is more stolen goods. This is the reason why I haven't really found myself all that interested in the new content.

    A step from perfect!

    The art style is excellent and the gameplay, while simple and repetitive in mid-game, is creative and fun. When I get bored and come back a week later, it is always a joy between meetings or on the porcelain throne. My only complaints are these: - Equipment progression (specifically the water arrow and blinding powder) are either bugged or not specific to complete. - opening stolen chests with the Guild Master is not very satisfying and clunky - no incentive exists to keep players engaged or attached to their thief. Aside from daily heists and leaderboards, nothing else weekly or monthly arrives to spice things up or unlock new things. I would recommend more game types or customizable experiences to keep this game fresh and survive the plethora of other games to play. Worth a buy and I highly recommend this to any strategist or card player!

    Amazing Game

    I love this game! I love the artwork and the game play. Every level is just a bit different due to the card placement. It requires a bit of planning, but not too much to be frustrating. The levels are short enough to not get annoying or grindy. I’m nearing the end of the content, so of course all I can ask for is more content. Different ability cards and enemies.
