What Makes Iris and the Giant Stand Out
Iris and the Giant is a fusion of a collectible card game with RPG and roguelike elements. You play as Iris, who must brave her fears in her imaginary world. Behind the game's unique minimalist art style players will explore a touching story of a young woman facing her inner demons and soothing the raging giant inside.
Build your deck: With every encounter, unlock new cards and earn points to boost Iris. Each attempt makes you stronger, and lets you go further!
Features :
Tactical battles: Face monsters in fights mixing CCG mechanics with RPG and roguelike elements
Deckbuilding: build a deck as you progress. Choose the best options for your long-term strategy out of a wide variety of cards
Deep customisation: The game is packed with 51 cards and choices in how to specialise your character, your deck, and your playstyle
A touching adventure: A lot of care was put into adding a compelling and emotive story to a genre traditionally light on narrative
A progressive difficulty curve: Makes the game accessible to all, but offers a challenge to even the most hardened of players
A poetic, melancholic story
Throughout the game, you can uncover fragments of Iris' memories, giving you new insight into the reasons behind your adventure in her mind.
This Entertainment game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Cannot finish floor 5. Game crashes constantly.
Unique game with interesting play mechanics. There is an issue with in-app purchases not loading, and causes us to close and re-open app.
Great design and nice gameplay. Unfortunately there are a lot of bugs. Some as white screen for some amount of time, game freeze after some action or inside cinematic. We cant finish last level.
We are unable to purchase the expansions and the iCloud save feature does not seem to be working as well.
Same issue as other reviewer. After end game scene the game is stuck with iris hugging the giant. Otherwise it is a great game. Will change when its fixed and we can keep playing.
Please fix the bug in which the scene is frozen after defeating the giant.
