Balatro is a highly addictive poker roguelike that works especially well as a mobile time killer, with runs that can disappear during a commute, flight, or waiting room. The card and joker combos, engine building strategy, and rearranging jokers before each hand make it feel deep and satisfying, and the paid version avoids ads. A major update with new content is coming soon, and the game is available for $6.99 on both iOS and Android. The main drawback is the lack of cross save or progress syncing between platforms, which makes switching devices a hassle.

Casual gamer here, new to roguelikes. Paid $6 for this before a long flight last year. Two hours of time melted away while playing, but once my first loss happened and I realized I'd basically have to do the same thing over again, I immediately lost interest and haven't touched it since. It's well-made, but not for me.

Just a heads up for anyone who might match my profile. That said, the game is so cheap that it's worth buying on sale even if you're hesitant. $7 is a good price for even a couple hours of entertainment, and it's going to an indie developer.

One of my favorite games of all time. It's like the perfect mobile game. Prepare to lose hours of your life if you fall down the rabbit hole.

LocalThunk says 1.1 is coming soon. He's adding teasers on the discord. We only know for sure we're getting a new banana and changes to Matador and "Wild Cards"

In the same boat. Gave it a fair shake several times, but I didn't understand the hype around it at all. It just felt tedious to me and it wasn't just because the roguelike format.

with all the people thinking the comments are shills: this game was free on PSN like a year ago, knew nothing about it and found it really engaging and fun.

buying this for long haul flights as the reviews say you don't need wifi to play. excellent game.

Very frugal person chiming in. For context, I basically NEVER buy games at full price. My game backlog consists of titles I typically got for 80-90% off or more.

I got hooked on this on PC via Game Pass. My teen liked it so much, she asked for it as a gift for Xmas on Steam. I didn't bat an eyelash and bought it for her so she'd be able to play once our Game Pass sub is up. It's that damn good.

At this price I am absolutely going to buy this so I can enjoy it on my Logitech G Cloud or tablet while I'm on the go.

TLDR; So Balatro is basically crack.

I don't think I've ever paid for a mobile game, so I'm hesitant on paying $7 for one. But hearing everyone in this thread rave about this game has gotten me very curious.
Can't speak to this game specifically but I almost universally avoid "free" mobile games. They gotta make money somewhere so it's going to be some combination of ads or frustrating you enough to p2w.
