Meteorfall: Krumit's Tale – Card Game Review
Meteorfall: Krumit's Tale is a Card/Strategy game from Eric Farraro, first launched in 26th August 2020.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 261+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Meteorfall: Krumit's Tale Stand Out
Battle the likes of sozzled bearbearians and nuke-addled snotwolves to protect our glowing green world from the sweaty hands of the Uberlich! Krumit's Tale involves the same core deck building mechanics as Meteorfall: Journeys and the same cast of overly optimistic heroes, but expands the ‘swipe’ mechanic into a dynamic grid based system. This means more depth and longevity – our heroes will have to choose perks to complement their deck-building strategy and carefully manage the board if they wish to triumph.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Is Meteorfall Krumits Tale hard? Yes! Do we mind?No! Why? The game is so well done that losing is actually fun, though not quite as fun as winning (ha ha). The art style, humor, and game mechanisms are awesome. Im playing the game on Explorer level because you can toggle on and off various things like amount of enemies, gold you receive, weapon strength, etc. That allows us to focus on the ins and outs of each card. As we get better we will toggle off certain perks. Totally worth the $6.99. Oh, one tip, buy as many cards as you can. Splat It.
Its challenging but really fun. You will see a lot of people complaining about it being difficult.. They should go play solitaire.
This game deserves to be at the top of the charts. The strategies are deep, the animations fun, and the gameplay rewarding. We wish we could go back and play it as new player again. Oh, it also has vibes of Adventure Time. Two thumbs up! Please make a sequel or a follow-up game :).
Excellent game. Is there a way for the game progress to be saved from our iPad to our iPhone? We see the achievements carried over.
This game is excellent and very replayable. If you are reading reviews and allowing peoples opinions on, say, whether its possible to beat the game we have beaten it numerous times with every character (including the upgraded difficulty modes you unlock when beating it each time). If you are confident in your logical ability then rest assured it is very possible so dont let them dissuade you.
This game is great! The animations are slick and the gameplay is addictive. Everyone saying that its too hard or that you need the unlocks are just wrong and dont understand the mechanicsI was able to start win after a few tries.
Easily one of the best card games on the AppStore. Yes, its hardbut its not unbalanced as Ive seen in other reviews. It takes patience to learn each class. Failing over and over again will help you to succeed and when youve beaten the final boss with ease with every class, youll wonder how you ever thought it was hard at all. Brilliant.
Clever and quick gameplay. Can step away at any time and not lose progress, even if you kill the app. Each character is so unique its like playing a different game. Feels like we make progress no matter how far we get since we get some rewards for leveling up the character. Update: This game is also available for M1+ MacBooks and has shared progress with mobile! Its awesome.
Unique game mechanics and heroes. Tons of replayability. Strategy plays a much bigger role than luck. 5/5 stars for this. Absolutely worth the money. Hoping for more updates.

Yes its hard, just like Slay the Spire is hard when you first start. This game takes a ton of practice to master. We lost maybe 30 times before we won our first game. Shouldnt discourage you, thats what makes it fun for us – so much more rewarding when you get your first win! If youre a fan of deck building roguelikes (Slay the Spire, Monster Train) then you will enjoy this.
Not just click bait. We had a terrible toothache with several rounds of complications and surgeries. This game kept us sane through the pain and process. Thanks for making an engaging and stylish game that diverts from agony. Cheers:).

Beautiful, challenging, fun game. Every encounter feels like a little puzzle to solve. Plays great on mobile.
We bought this because it was said to be similar to slay the spire. We found it slightly fun in the beginning but found it lack luster pretty quickly. We feel this hand could be improved, the art is nice but the game itself just isnt quite there.
But its way too hard in normal mode. Too much depends on the order of the dungeons and the order in which your inventory shows upif you dont get the gobloids first, when youre weak, and if you dont get a treasure chest to buy a weapon in the initial screen, forget it. There are all kinds of cool weapons and abilities you never get to use because its impossible to accumulate enough gold to buy themyoure too busy trying to stay alive (and mostly not succeeding). Ive probably played 100 games and have not yet won with any of three characters. At this point its starting to feel futile. Too bad, if the game were a little less random and difficult, it would be something we would enjoy playing again and againas we did the first Meteorfall.
Developers!: Your war drums card doesnt work, it says its supposed to replace the opponents attack with 2 but it doesnt do that, it replaces with 3, so its not working right, fix it and you can have more stars. Reader: a fun game for sure, each character has different approach, but there arent ALOT of unlockable cards for each character, so the sense of progression doesnt last long. But it was fun while it lasted. If they did more updates it would prolly be more fun. Also as you saw from above, some cards dont work right and the last update for this game was 2022 so im not sure this game will get fixed.
This game is hard. Its not Elden Ring hard where its skill based and youre able to get better and better until you progress. Its just hard because the game is not balanced. Ive played every card-based game out there. Even if its a difficult game, usually theres some sort of mechanic or combo that you can utilize to make your chances easier. Ive found nothing in this game that even remotely improves our chances. We dont think Ive passed the 5th round. Even by the 3rd stage, some of the enemies are just too overpowered compared to you. 70% of the time you will die by that round unless you get lucky from RNG. Its a good concept and theres potential. The art style is great and theres some fun mechanics. We wish there were more class specific perks. It seems like theyre all universal across each role; and the options are limited at that. Its easy to pick up, but hard to progress. Despite leveling up and unlocking new cards, it doesnt even help you in the slightest. Theres some good qualities but this game needs some serious balance.
We kept seeing the description roguelike deckbuilder and was really excited. We waited until we got paid, then excitedly bought this game. Ive played it a lot the past few days and its different from other deckbuilders in a way that doesnt click well with us. Theres a lot of strategy involved, but Im not familiar enough with the cards to plan very far ahead. Furthermore, losing repeatedly starts to get repetitive and draining. Sadly, Im just not feeling it. Ill stick with STS on mobile and Monster Train on our Switch (until it comes to mobile). Those games are more our speed. However, if youre up for the challenge and like puzzle/strategy/resource management, this game will entertain you endlessly.
So there is this thing in the game that really messes up us trying to get better whenever we get to a boss we only have a maximum of 6 hearts! This really annoys us A LOT we hope you fix this glitch it would mean a lot to us if you fix it thank you for reading this.
We get the appeal, the graphics, but it just isnt a very good strategy game in our opinion. We love Slay the Spire, Darkest Dungeon, Ring of Pain, Knock on the Coffin Lid, Pirate Outlaws but both Meteor Falls were just not the strategy we are looking for, wish we could get a refund but oh well, we will research games better in the future. Although it was listed as similar to the above games, recommended, on multiple sites we do not agree, very misleading.
Just bought it today, played for a bit. Can we get a refund. This game is not our cup of tea. We dont enjoy playing this at all.
Hi yall, first time reviewer. Loved the game until we are not able to log in without it crashing the moment we open it. Redownloaded and it is still crashing. Please fix, we want to go back to playing.
We regret spending money on this. A couple reviews made it seem amazing. In actuality, its kind of mediocre and boring.
This is no slay the spire. Really a big disappointment. Bad UI, no significant tactical choices. Do not buy. Should be free.
Forces you to grind to get better items to even have a chance to beat the game. Strategy is garbage if any at all. Any rogue like game that punishes the player until theyve leveled enough to win is doing it wrong. Look at Slay of Spire as an excellent example of rogue like and rewarding the player for learning the mechanics (plus a little bit of luck) to beat the game after only a few tries instead of this stupid grind.
Such a fun game. Love the art style.
Ill definitely review in greater detail in the coming weeks. Please forgive any typos as we are traveling. Suffice to say, this is a fun, and addictive deck building rougelike. 6 playable characters, each of which has a fun and unique play style that keeps gameplay from becoming stale between runs . Krumits Tale is amazing in that it is both oddly unique, yet extremely similar to other games of this type. This allows one to quickly learn the basics and begin the process of formulating an optimal deck for each run. Yet, its been 30+hours and Im still learning new strategies. The card descriptions, music, and character animations are top notch. Would happily pay for more. As a bonus, the developer is active on social media and extremely friendly! This game drew us in due to being set in the same universe as Meteorfall Journeys. Another deck builder by Slothwerks that we highly recommend. Read the tips included via link on the Home Screen if you feel confused by the initial tutorial.
Beautiful artwork, compelling game mechanics, a truly original idea, excellent sound design, beautiful game balancing, a whimsical sense of humor, solid world building, and really beautiful interaction design. One of the best mobile games Ive ever played.
Game needs more spotlight. Has tons of replayablity and is very strategic.
So addicting! We love this game. Highly recommended. One thing, more please! Loving the newer characters but a few more would be amazing. Definitely willing to pay for any more you add.
We really did enjoy the game and we probably will play some more of it. However, its personally just not our cup of tea. The game feels almost unfairly difficult, and whereas other cardbuilders make us feel like we could have done something differently each time we die, this one feels very luck-of-the-draw. While decks that COULD beat enemies all the way up to the Uberlich are theoretically possible, the game begins to feel unfairly balanced against you once you begin hitting higher tier dungeons. Certain characters, like Mischief, end up getting their special abilities just completely cancelled out because there are far too many enemy tiles on the board and no real way to maneuver them around to gain a bonus in damage against them. Im sure that we could be playing better and that we could be improving our win rates. But the design of the game itself creates boards where 8 out of the 9 tiles present are all enemies, and you end up picking an ability or piece of armor that really wont help you sort through the dungeon. TL;DR: The game is good, but we dislike its design (even though it is novel) and balance. Enemies are stronger than most of the abilities you have to fight them. And the game lacks any sort of special events to mix up the broth between dungeon combat. Just a few design differences could have made this into a truly great roguelike cardbuilder, but nonetheless we still recommend people try it. The humor of the tile descriptions and the excellent sound design and music are all very charming, and it is very satisfying when you have those moments where you get to parry 8 damage or kill an enemy with huge amounts of poison or freeze all your foes.
This game is the best puzzle, rouge like, card game you can buy on the AppStore. Its honestly so good that if youre reading this and like card games, stop reading, just buy it.
Really enjoy the game quite a bit and is a perfect time waster, but lately we cannot even boot a dungeon without it crashing. Please help, we would love to get back to playing and will easily change our review to 5 stars on e the issue is fixed.
We bought the game because it was supposed to be in Czech. However, Czech characters are not displayed, so it is unusable.
Make an easy setting for casual players.
Artwork is quirky and on-point. App works fine on iPhone 11 except no sound. Gameplay left much to be desired. Odd mechanics. Stingy on the gold. Rewards didnt seem to make an obvious difference. Steep learning curve for the casual player. UI needs some massaging trying to hunt for the right object to press. Seems oddly difficult and really only suited for hardcore players that want a game to be punishingly frustrating until you figure out the special combo of cards that work for the particular deck youre playing. Lastly, not worth the price and adding purchasable characters seems wildly greedy for what you get. We would pass on this until it becomes free.
May seem a tad bit confusing at first.. But our goodness. Just like the first one, Im HOOKED!!! Im playing this as much as we are the new Call of Duty or AC. Im not even completely sure what it is about Krumits Tale, but we can easily say this is the best game on the entire App Store.
Fun and frustrating if you enjoy rage quitting . Overall this is the type of game that turns a long wait into a short one just play Explorer Mode to Enjoy. Ive played long enough to not be mad and give this game 5 stars. Avoid Standard Mode House Rules the game will choose the time and place for you to lose.
But latest update is causing frequent crashes.
Im really loving this game. We experienced a bunch of crashes but after rebooting, it worked fine. Ive beaten the game with all 5 original heroes and am now trying some of the advanced challenges. The challenge level is just right. Much better balanced for a casual-occasional-hardcore gamer. Like Slay the Spire but a bit easier and more fun.
Great game with tons of replay ability.
We are in love with games like these and this one is the best yet. We love how all the characters are so unique and cool. We did find one problem and that is the difficulty of the game. Some people find it hard to pass certain levels and we personally like that but our brother is finding trouble defeating the last boss. We did give him some advice but we feel like other players dont have that opportunity just saying. Overall we really like the game and we highly recommend to the people who like card games.
Graphics are great, gameplay is even better.
One of the best roguelike card games on mobile right now. Beautiful artwork, high levels of strategy, and solid deck building mechanics. Looking forward to more content down the road. Even as DLC.
The polish and care in this game is amazing. We dont usually leave reviews for games but this is an exceptionally clever roguelite we would recommend to anyone. Ive never seen a game do a necromancer class the way this one did and it was such a thrilling play through. As an avid gamer on console pc and mobile its not often Im surprised. If more games on the App Store were like this then the App Store would be incredible.
Really fun game with oodles of replayability. The whole thing is expertly put together. Great art direction. Excellent production values. A joy to play.
Really looking forward to updating this game and adding more content we feel like this game has so much potential.
Great game with lots of replayability and challenges. Different classes with all referent cards. Great and thorough.
New favorite game. Perfect balance of gameplay, style, and humor. Well done.
