Balatro Positive Reviews
Oh BalatroBoy oh boy where do I even begin. Balatro.. honey, my pookie bear. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you drive up that Mult and strike fear into the Boss Blinds. Your silky smooth Spectral Packs, and that gorgeous Jimbo. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so I would never have to watch you become mid. You had a rough development, but you never gave up hope. You are even amazing off the Game Awards stage, you're a great game and deserving winner, sometimes I even call you dad. I forvever dread and weep, thinking of the day you will one day become mid. I would sacrifice my own life it were the only thing that could put a smile on your beautiful face. You have given me so much joy, and heartbreak over the years. I remember your first failed demo and its like my heart got broken into a million pieces. But a tear still fell from my right eye when I watched you win the Game Awards, because deep down, my glorious clown king deserved it. I just wanted you to become great. Then allas, you did, my sweet baby boy was played by the Game Awards Orchestra and I rejoiced. 2023 was a hard year for us baby, but in 2024 you made history happen. You came became a bestseller and I couldn't believe it. I was crying, bawling even, and I heard my glorious clown king exclaim these words, "GAMBLERS, THIS IS FOR YOU!" Not only have you changed the game of Poker and the world forever, but you've eternally changed my world. And now you're getting older, but still the goat, my goat. I love you pookie bear, my glorious king, Jimbo Balatro..Version: 1.1.9
If you are hesitant to buy read this!I know that this game says that it’s “Poker meets Solitaire” but that statement doesn’t do it justice. I was a little hesitant to buy the game because the preview didn’t catch my attention. I saw the reviews and decided to buy it. Upon playing, it was mostly like “Poker meets a rouge-like”to me. Each run has a type of deck you can choose (it’s still a 52 card deck) BUT the color gives you a different effect. Red gives an extra discard to your standard discard amount, blue gives you an extra turn, etc. The more you play the more crazy effects you’ll get with your decks, and your Jokers. Each run starts off like a rouge-like, No stats, everything is slow, but as time goes on you’ll get better cards, better point multipliers, and better jokers. The jokers have tons of effects that you can unlock and build into how you enjoy playing (pairs, two pairs, straight, full house, etc). I bought it yesterday and was hooked, I played for hours on end without getting bored. Plus the music is fantastic! Highly recommend playing with earbuds or with the sound on..Version: 1.1.8
Incredibly Fun and Enjoyable! but Eats BatteryIf you are into Poker or Roguelikes (Binding of Isaac for example,) you will most likely find Balatro to be a very interesting and fun. Jokers are like powerups for your deck and lead to a lot of fun interactions and interesting combos. Now with that being said, I feel the nature of how the game difficulty progresses ruins the expectation of experimentation. As to meet with the high antes you either need to set up the same powerful, but repetitive combos, or get very lucky, which leaves a very small window to mess with jokers as it becomes very quickly becomes punishing to do so. This does not ruin the game in the slightest, just my ability to explore it further. I own this game on PC as well and very much enjoy the interface changes made for mobile and I actually find myself trying to drag cards in the PC version because I’ve become accustomed to dragging them here. Highly recommend for mobile. My only gripe for mobile is for some reason, this game makes my phone very hot and eats battery very fast. Like it’s taking a LOT of processing power to play. My phone usually has a long battery life but to lose 20% or more on a single run of Balatro is kind of unfortunate. If this gets fixed, it’s an easy 5 star..Version: 1.1.4
Absolutely earns the hype!This game is a gobsmacking innovation, on a level with Slay the Spire. “Poker meets solitaire” is a terrible description; it’s so much more than that. It’s a card based roguelike that gets everything right. It’s complex and deep, but never overwhelms you. There’s a lot going on, but the learning curve is utterly painless. You’ll know enough to win in your first few playthroughs, but you’ll discover more and more subtleties over time. As your skill improves, the challenge scales with you. There are always new goals to chase, but you are in complete control of what to try and when, and how difficult (or not) you want your game to be. And while winning is satisfying, Balatro achieves the highest virtue a roguelike can aspire to — it’s great fun even when you lose. When I saw Balatro on the PC Gamer top 10 of all time list, I thought, B.S. No card game belongs on that list. I was wrong. The universal gushing and five star reviews are totally legit. It’s the best game you never thought you’d like, and the more you play, the truer that becomes..Version: 1.1.7
Worth every cent.I don’t normally write reviews and I’m not usually one to be into too many mobile games or even for that matter card games but this, there’s something about it that has an addictive and rewarding effect. I think the mix of elements of tarot and it’s design seem very fun and mysterious it’s not something that you’re too unfamiliar with, but just enough mystery to keep you wanting more. From the art, the classic pixel style art in remembrance of old Solitaire on Windows XP or Windows 98 it gives almost a nostalgic vibe as well as the music, hands-down probably the most entertaining card game that isn’t ordinary or some fake casino style solitaire style mobile game that pushes ads in your face. The pace of which the game and rounds run at as well is just perfect. Get those combos and get that reward system rewarded, you know that funny little center in your brain where you just want a little more? it hits all the right spots and it keeps you going, it’s amazing. Hands-down, 10 out of 10. Five stars, 100%..Version: 1.1.4
Fun but LOTS of frustrating bugs [Fixed]The game is just as fun as the Steam version, but the iOS version has tons of save file flakiness. Winning unseeded runs not counting for progress, unlocks disappearing, having to re-click the (!) in the unlocks repeatedly… would be 5 stars if it worked like the Steam version does! Edited 2 stars to 1: The bugs just make this unusable. Some of the glitchiness I’ve encountered: Profile name keeps reverting to P1 (although renaming P2 sticks.) Winning runs not recorded. Constantly spammed with notices that I have unlocked the Blue Deck… while playing the Blue Deck. Spammed with notices that I’ve unlocked jokers even after unlocking those jokers. Cards I’ve played not showing up in Collection. Cards in Collection keep having a (!) put on them to show that they’re new, even after tapping them multiple times. Doing that one thing enough times to unlock that secret thing didn’t unlock it. Cards and tags that I’ve played not showing in the Collection. Blinds not showing up in Collection. Tried deleting app in order to re-download it and see if it would fix things; the pop up notice said that my cloud save would not be deleted… but my cloud save was deleted and I lost all progress. Edit 1 star to 5; Updated iOS and all apps, including the Friends of Jimbo 3 patch, and now the save file appears to be working correctly! Not sure which bug it was since they both updated at the same time, but I can finally play..Version: 1.1.7
Good, not GreatI believed the hype, bought the game, and enjoyed it for a week. Then I deleted it. It’s good, not great, but really close to great, and there are two reasons why. First are the boss battles. Not because they’re tough, but because they’re stupid, reducing an otherwise smart game based on skill and strategy to pure luck. Stuff like: Draw cards face down. Draw face cards face down. Play only one hand type. All really dumb, unless you have the joker that undoes boss powers (you won’t most times). Second are the Jokers. This could have been a stellar game with a few dozen jokers and combos for extra power ups. But there must be hundreds of jokers in this game, on top of celestial cards, on top of tarot cards, on top of stone and steel and glass cards. You want to study up every card? Be my guest. I bet most people don’t and delete this game quickly. There is no preview for the score of your hand and runs can take up to an hour or more for good ones, only to find the straight or whatever you need won’t happen with tarots and face down cards in the next major boss battle. Such a frustrating shame..Version: 1.3
Fantastic game, Addictive PortWhat else can be said? It's Balatro. I loved it on PC, and said if it ever came to mobile, my life would be solely dedicated to this game. Well here it is. As great as ever. There are a few things I'd wanna touch on though that I've found that slightly hamper the experience a bit. One: on PC there's this thing you can do where you can right-click to deselect all currently selected cards. Either I don't know how to do it via touch controls, or it isn't there. Either way, I'm too used to that as a feature, and would love to see it. Funny thing about it though: if you connect a Bluetooth mouse to your iOS device (I did this on my iPad), and used right-click in game, it works exactly like the PC version! It'd be a one for one control scheme like the PC version, if it weren't for the drag controls. That aside, I'd like a way to deselect all cards at once rather than just tapping them one by one. Two: the other thing that would make this godlike is some kinda save sync system between the other versions of the game. That is a pie in the sky kinda request, and I understand that would be incredibly difficult. I did buy this game fully expecting to have to start over though, and I didn't mind. But it still would be awesome. All in all, this is a great game that I already found myself way too addicted to, and having it in the palm of my hand everywhere I go is not helping matters, whatsoever. (Also, not sure if this has been fixed yet, but the achievements aren't unlocking!!!).Version: 1.1.4
More addictive than crack cocaineIf you are employed or have any semblance of a social life, stay far away from this game. Within my first day of purchasing the app, I’ve already logged over 5 hours into this game. I’m genuinely addicted and there’s no turning back now. In all seriousness, though, the game absolutely rocks. The sound design and haptics are incredible and watching the score climb higher and higher releases more dopamine in my brain than any game aught to. Also, as a side note, I adore the custom cards and collaborations. Stardew Valley and Don’t Starve are two of my favorite games (after Balatro, of course) so it was pretty cool to be able to have my face cards represent some of the characters from those franchises. All this to say this is certainly my new favorite mobile game, probably of all time. Anyways, I hope whoever took the time to read my review is having an amazing day or night! Make sure to drink plenty of water and remember that you’re loved 💛.Version: 1.1.9
Balatro is the bomb!Second run with green deck i found an early joker- ceremonial dagger. it provided the scale to get past ante 5ish, and at the very end i pulled a black hole out of a spectral card. bought every planet card i saw, most up to rank 3-4. start of ante 8 i decided to skip both blinds and go straight to the boss, hadn’t skipped yet but i thought my build was ready. flush of hearts for my final hand squeaked me over the finish line for the first win. been on slay the spire since 2018 and hearthstone before that. last year i played inscryption on PS5 because it free on PS5. got the platinum that same weekend and picked it up on steam because it was so good i couldn’t sit right playing it for free. only heard about balatro recently during the buzz from the ios release, decided to pick it up this morning. took me 3ish hours for this win, thank you developers for making such a well polished release. and now i’m going to see what the meta is and beat some more decks! seed: 1KBWYNHN.Version: 1.1.4
Worth the price!When I first got the game, I was met with a brief but very helpful tutorial. You learn how to play fast. I liked it right away. I've been playing over the course of at least a month. The game introduces new decks, stakes, and jokers as you progress. At the start of a run, you pick a deck, each one having a certain buff or special ability. Once you win a run, you unlock the next stake, being the next step up in difficulty. Higher stakes require you to score more but also manipulate a variety of mechanics. After each round you enter the shop, where you can buy upgrades, cards for you deck, card enhancements, and most importantly, jokers. With 150 jokers you are forced to develop a new strategy each game to make full use of the jokers you can get. The replayability of this game is unmatched compared to other strategy games. If your considering getting it, just get it. It's totally worth the $10..Version: 1.1.9
Disappointed with paid versionRecently played this on Apple Arcade and loved it, but recognized that it’s a somewhat restricted version. So I bought the game thinking options and challenges would open up well only a few things did such as jokers etc. But things like the very first challenge which says and I quote “Win a run with at least 5 different decks to unlock Challenge mode 0/5” even when you do this it never opens. It shows an option for difficulty to start your run but the arrows are blacked out. I assumed there might be several levels of difficulty starting easier and moving up which would be great for those of us just learning the game and strategy. Am finding that some of the uncommon jokers you buy don’t do what they are supposed to. Also it’s supposed to sync between iPad and phone it doesn’t. While this has the potential to be an outstanding game and 9.99 is not expensive I should have just stuck with the Apple Arcade + version. It’s getting frustrating never being able to advance past the early rounds..Version: 1.1.6
Balatro- the pinnacle of deceit, deception, love, friends, and betrayal.Don’t think you’re gonna not bond to a card. It’s bound to happen. Friendship and loss, tragedy and faithfulness all breaks or is hardened in this game. Lose your favorite joker. Make an amazing play. Get betrayed by your horrible luck. Have a card say something but be wrong and do something else, or do something even better. Although that’s like 3 cards. Bond with cards and find their strengths and weaknesses. The learning curve is high and steep. Don’t expect to drop this game in the start. When you drop it, you always come back. The addiction never stops. Get ready for a game of chips and multipliers. Sounds simple? No. Get out. 10/10. Changed my life. I understand the meaning of the universe. Learned how to cook real food and not garbage. Fixed my impatience. Fixed my life. Get ready. This game will change it all- and more..Version: 1.3
Love Balatro but..I love this game on my computer I have been anticipating it on my phone and I will say it is an exact copy of it from pc so for that I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. However I dislike how small things are and I was really hoping for a portrait style version of the game. Something I can play one handed not having to tilt my phone and be super obvious I’m playing a phone game, maybe I was a little spoiled from another “joker card game” on iOS while waiting for balatro. Overall the game runs smooth but I was really hoping for a little different interface. I also hoped to be able to link my pc account so I could transfer stats and unlocks without starting completely fresh. I feel like the 3 stars is valid for what I was hoping for but I don’t want this to be a detourance for new players you will love the game I promise you! Devs please consider adding an option for portrait mode for the game to allow users to pick which they prefer in settings. I know it’s a little more work but I guarantee it will pay off in the future..Version: 1.1
Poker ReinventedThis is not poker. While there are elements that are similar to poker, this is a complete reinvention. There is no gambling. In fact, if you know poker, it could work against you at first. What starts off as simply winning the game turns into a delightful progression of challenges. You see, once you figured out how to win with the first deck, a new deck of cards with new rules is unlocked. Jokers are at the heart of this game. Some can help you, some could work against you. It all depends upon your current strategy in what you’ve already invested. Then add special power-up cards, which could add points, add to a multiplier or even multiply the multiplier. There’s also a shop to upgrade your scoring power. When you find a combination that works, it’s incredibly satisfying seeing the score go from tens to hundreds to thousands and more! It is simply incredibly fun..Version: 1.3
Fantastic GameI picked this up after finishing an AP test in a class, so we essentially had nothing to do for the rest of the year and this game kept my attention. The replay ability for a game like this is crazy and every run feels very different than the last. My only issue is the fact that sometimes when I beat a new deck or difficulty, I will not get the chip signifying I completed it on the deck I beat or it will not unlock the following difficulty. This is very frustrating because it makes me have to do another run on the same settings when all I want to do is beat every deck with every difficulty, so this glitch is preventing me from doing it, but in having enough fun to the point where it doesn’t take away my enjoyment from the game. Highly recommend, the price is worth it, especially for a mobile game..Version: 1.1.9
Probably the best mobile game in existenceI played a bit of Balatro on the pc, which was fun but not really the type of game I’d sit down at a keyboard for and just get into. But discovering it on iOS has been a game changer. It might just be the perfect mobile game — Addicting, relatively easy to get into, challenging, infinite replayability, and can be picked up and put down at any moment without losing game progress. The philosophy of the creator means the game is the game; no microtransactions or anything of the like. I think there is certainly a learning curve for the game, as well as a limitation on how far you can advance depending on your intelligence or willingness to watch videos on strategy. I’m terrible at math, so my ceiling has been relatively low, but it has been enjoyable to learn how to play the game better. For $9 you really can’t go wrong with this one..Version: 1.3
Yup. 5 starsJust when I think everything has been done when it comes to apps and games. There's not a fresh idea to be had anywhere in the world, much less and the completely over populated with a junk App Store… And developers just regurgitating somebody else's idea… Then comes along this game… It's so fresh and so fun and instantly challenging… And it's almost so simple that you could actually do it with your own deck of cards until they start adding all these multi suppliers and planet cards and cosmic cards and galaxies things and it just takes it to a whole new level of fun it's truly truly one of the best games I've ever played but without a doubt far away the best game to come out of the last five years just because of the simplicity and the refreshing take on two very old games. Poker. And solitaire.Version: 1.1.8
One glitch one recommendationMy favorite game in history amazing 5 star nothing better but there is one problem when I played the game earlier I beat black stake on green deck but I loaded a outdated save after I got off the wi-fi and now I have to beat black stake AGAIN but I still have the award on my apple account and I have the anaglyph deck but I still cannot play blue stake I had started a blue stake run as well before going offline but it says I have no saves to continue I almost deleted the game but got myself back on track when I was about to delete the game I realized that you should have accounts or password protected cloud saves so if you delete the game or go on another device you can load your cloud save PLEASE FIX THE GLITCH PLEASE and please take my idea into consideration thank you for reading this. Also shout out to Local Thunk for making the best game that has ever existed and will ever exist..Version: 1.1.9
Play this game immediately (use a controller, IMO it plays much better)First off, I enjoyed this game more using a controller, I have it on my ps5 & switch. It just feels nicer & more clicky. I was a huge solitaire fan growing up but poker never interested me. Balatro is now my favorite card game of all time. I heard about it by someone saying “omg im addicted to this game it’s soooo good. It’s poker so you’ve gotta learn that but there’s jokers that you add to your deck that have special abilities, it’s great!”. So I tried it out & I’ve been playing almost every day since. I didn’t know a thing about poker, but the game made it very clear & easy going to learn. No complications, everything you need is right there a click away. Then I realized it’s like a rogue like card game, which is something that I just love. Do yourself a favor, play this game..Version: 1.3
Excellent game but some bugs still need fixingSo the title says it all and I’ll try to be brief. Didn’t want to make a reddit account or something but thought I’d use this opportunity to tell you about a bug you might not be aware of. The Wheel is interacting with Oops All Sixes despite The Wheel not being worded as a chance or probability at all. If this isn’t a bug then you need to change the wording on The Wheel. I also have a feeling that some of the probabilities in general need to be fixed but I might still be mad about the Cavendish that went extinct on me after ONE HAND today… Also if there are any plans to add jokers in the future I’d love one that lets you make straights with wrap-around aces. I’ve heard people say something 7-focused would be good too, maybe retriggering them if they’re lucky cards?.Version: 1.1.8
It’s everything I hoped it would beBalatro was wildly popular on PC, but mobile — and especially iPad — is where it always belonged. Addictive yet somehow calming, it achieves replayability only matched by games like Slay the Spire. A compelling rogue-lite is joined by surprisingly deep mechanics and play that, though it draws inspiration from poker, is at the same time utterly removed from the specific set of probabilities that governs its play. Best of all, it is blessedly free of advertisement and microtransactions. Easily worth twice the asking price. I’ve experienced no bugs and the settings provide a surprising number of options to match the game’s behavior to your preferences. There is not a single thing about this app that made me regret my purchase in the slightest; just happy surprise after happy surprise. Please stop reading reviews and just buy it..Version: 1.1
Not Joking Around!Balatro is a game about scoring bigger numbers with poker hands. It’s incredibly balanced, no single strategy feels completely broken when scoring. Even when you win the game, the hands keep coming as you collect more jokers and other cards that can extend your run. It’s absolutely worth the asking price, because you’ll want to play this game again and again. I was waiting at the airport, and I didn’t even realize that my flight got delayed and my group was already boarding. Very few games have accomplished this from my experience. Seriously, I can’t think of anything about this game I’d change. The only bad thing about it is that when you play it, you might forget that you still have work/class going on..Version: 1.1.2
Productivity Be Damned!This game is an exact port of the hit PC game that launched in February. I have over 350 hours played on that game, and I feel I have experienced every gameplay level of the game. This game takes the casino classic “video poker” and injects it with a litany of variables including ways to add, remove, and modify card values, suits, and bonuses, a “Jokers” mechanic that allows for even further potential, and an additional set of “new” card ranks as a result of the changes. The goal for each round is to get or exceed a certain number of chips by playing a certain number of hands. Hand rank decides the value of the hands in addition to the cards used. Different hand ranks have different values: for instance, a flush is worth more chips and mult than a pair is (before upgrading hand rank payouts, which is yet another variable) so that will score higher. A general rule of thumb is to have a good balance of both chips and “mult” (which is the rate the chips in the hand earned are multiplied by to get your final hand value). This game is one that can seem daunting after first, however it is extremely addictive when properly understood. There is potential for extremely high totals, and the sound effects and graphics make the journey to please Jimbo extremely satisfying. Kudos to the developers for being able to squeeze the most recent version of the game in, that added collaborations with popular games such as Among Us and The Witcher franchise. Between the combined of tarot cards that modify existing cards, the different passives for each deck, and the creative challenge modes, you will be hard pressed to find a game that can keep you more occupied. To the players: May your Michels be Gros and your Wheels Fortunate..Version: 1.1
Excellent game; very obscure bug I experiencedThis game is incredible, super varied, mega addictive, infinitely replayable, and ridiculously satisfying. After a ten dollar paywall to buy the game, you aren’t bombarded with ads or microtransactions. Anyone who likes poker and roguelikes should give this game a go. One very nuanced and obscure issue I experienced was that, when using the screen mirroring to play on my MacBook, I couldn’t click a single button on startup, even when the game is resetted multiple times. Not a deal breaker for me but I was hoping I’d be able to play conveniently on my Mac. I understand screen mirroring is brand new to iOS and macOS so it makes sense that it might not work at the moment. If that issue could be fixed one day I’ll be very happy with this game. Five stars!.Version: 1.1.5
The Amazing Poker Rougelite Is Now on MobileI don’t normally review mobile games but Balatro will be the exception. If you are unfamiliar with the game it’s basically Poker and you win by beating what the game calls Blinds. You start by playing Poker but then you get to the shop and this is where the fun begins you can buy Jokers which change how you play the game. Wanna build a deck built around Flushes you can do that, wanna build one around playing straights using only four cards you can do that, wanna play Five of A Kind in Balatro you can do that. This game is worth every single penny and you will lose a lot of time it’s that good and no run is the same. ALSO THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO MICROTRANSACTOONS OR ADS. Buy it you will not regret it. Also never forget the mantra ALWAYS BET ON BANANA!!!!.Version: 1.3
Fantastic gameNot only is the game great, but when I had an issue and sent a support request (I was stuck on loading cloud data for like a day) it was fixed in seconds after I had been troubleshooting it for hours and my data was still there. I can’t definitively prove that someone did something as I haven’t gotten a reply to the request and it could have been coincidence, but I still have the error in the Belatro+ thru Apple Arcade, where I don’t really have any progress and I haven’t submitted a request there. I’ve chosen to believe in whimsy, and that they have a crack team that immediately fixed the issue. Maybe I’m wrong and maybe I’m an idiot, but I’m a happy idiot. WELL WORTH the 10$..Version: 1.3
I finally get the hype, but the bugsI never understood why everyone liked this game so much. On a whim, I decided to try it out, and gods, I finally get it. I’m terrible at this game, but I can just space out and play. It is one of the best casual games I have. The only complaints I have are bugs with the mobile version. The saves are very buggy. It took resuming 5 runs to unlock the joker for continuing once. I have one win, but the game doesn’t recognize it, yet I still have the magic deck for getting that win. I used the “unlock all” button as I just wanted to space out and play, not try to unlock things, but it didn’t work and just gave me all the achievements for the collection. Nonetheless, this is a good game. I barely remembered the names of the suites before playing, now I’m obsessed..Version: 1.2
I am the BalatroAs a Balatro I very much enjoy this game, but when you think you’ve found a winning strategy, a lot of times it kicks you where it hurts and you lose the run, and you’re upset about it until you realize if it were easy, it wouldn’t be fun and challenging. It encapsulates the human experience in a condensed format that if you’re thoughtful and considerate enough, can teach you a lot about life. Eventually you realize, we all are the Balatro. A bunch of jokers taking things way to seriously. The biggest Balatros among us, are trying to replace their entire deck with nothing but gold kings, because they have the Baron Joker, and want that NANINF even if it means destroying all the non face cards to do it..Version: 1.1.9
Addicting, easy to learn, hours of funI cannot get enough of this game, I'll get off the game then immediately want to go again to try to win a run. I think what makes it so addicting are the virtually infinite ways this game could be played, along with the alure of upgrading and numbers. You can choose to play though the game to unlock stuff, or if you want you can just play with everything that's available without having to unlock everything. I'll say playing to unlock gives you more of a goal to work towards. My ONE complaint is that I wish you could save progress across platforms since I play on my PC as well, but I see that it will be added in an update soon..Version: 1.1.7
Addictive app (but watch out for bugs)Unless you hate card games, you’re going to love Balatro. A compelling app and well worth your money. Easy to learn, but with hidden complexities that reward deep thought. The Reddit and Discord communities are a great source of advanced strategy tips if you find yourself fully Jimbofied. One frustration: Balatro is currently plagued by annoying bugs that often fail to save items you’ve discovered or stakes you’ve defeated. Don’t get too attached to your wins until these issues are resolved. But Balatro is still one of the best bargains on the App Store today. No subscriptions or microtransactions. A single one-time payment grants access to all the digital chips and virtual money you’ll ever need. What are you waiting for? Buy it already!.Version: 1.1.7
Best game on iOSIf you’re on the fence about spending 10 dollars, just buy it. While yes, it’s on mobile, it’s not a mobile game. The game is a very well made port of the PC version with no features hidden behind the hardware barrier. It’s 10 dollars and you get no ads and there are no micro transactions. The gameplay is the perfect mix of luck and skill. You can win 99% of games on the hardest difficulty if you’re skilled enough, but without skill, you have luck to guide you through tough situations (or alternatively, completely leave you hopeless with no chance of winning). Regardless of gameplay or playability, the game itself is overwhelming positive on steam. The difference is that PC players have much stricter ratings than mobile players. The fact this game has 5.0 on apple store (something rarely seen on games with 1k+ ratings) and a very high rating on steam proves how good the game is. If you’ve read this far you are either the dev/publisher (hello), or you are debating on getting the game. You should get it, you won’t be disappointed. There is a learning curve but it just makes the game better..Version: 1.1.4
Balatro on Mobile, Dream Come True!I love Balatro on my PC, it works really well on mobile. Need to waste some time in a very satisfying and rewarding way? Play Balatro. My local casino kicked me out for learning how to county cards after playing Balatro (this is a joke Apple, there is no gambling in Balatro). The ONLY gripe I have is when you start a new game, your last chip selection gets set back to white stake. On the PC version, it’s whatever stake you last ran on. This would be a very welcome change. I always start white stake on accident and think I’m rolling until I notice I’m not on the difficulty I want to be on. Would also LOVE to see a portrait mode implemented. Probably my biggest wish for the mobile game..Version: 1.1.4
Make a vertical mode for mobileI don’t ever write reviews. I also never play games on my phone. However, this is the most addicting and fun game I’ve personally ever played on a mobile device. I loved it so much on my phone, I now play it on Xbox and PC. The one thing that would make it better on mobile in my opinion is to make a portrait or vertical mode of the game for phones. It’s so fun to play for a few minutes while waiting in line or in between meetings, but sometimes just using one hand is most convenient. It seems easily doable for the interface of the game. Would love to see this feature in the game one day. Until then, I’m loving every minute of it..Version: 1.1.9
Just One More Hand…I’ve put a lot of time into Balatro’s Steam release, and have to say it’s one of the most unique and addicting experiences out there. Balatro is a rogue-like poker game, where you play poker hands to score points and beat an ever increasing point goal. The twist comes in the form of the game’s many gameplay mechanics, such as Tarot Cards, Card Modifiers, or the extremely prevalent Jokers. These Jokers modify the gameplay in various ways, such as increasing the amount of points gained by face cards, or by making it where ALL cards are considered face cards. If you’re looking for a game to play that can kill time while not requiring a lot of effort, Balatro is for you. It’s easy to learn, yet hard to master..Version: 1.1
So much fun!I adore this game and a big part of it is that there is no upselling, no expansion packs, no in-app-purchases - just a great game at a good price. The first few times I was sort of like "meh" but then I realized how much more control you have over the game - the selection of Jokers and the method of play is constantly evolving with each game, and it is more of less like old fashioned solitaire in that you do win - but on very, very rare occasion. And if you do get better then you can change the deck you use to continue making it fun and challenging. Kudos to the developer - if you could find a way to bring dice into the game - I'd buy that update in a heartbeat! Love this app!.Version: 1.3
Amazing, but takes getting used to as a portThis game is just amazing. I’ve been playing for nigh on three months now since I got it on my PC. I was super excited for the mobile port (though my performance in school was not quite as excited) and it’s actually really good! Since it doesn’t have crossplay abilities, I immediately turned on “unlock all” so I could have it in my pocket as a sort of quick fix. It’s been taking me a little bit of time to adjust to the new controls and I’m sure it will be hard to hop back on it on the computer, but that’s to be expected. Great game, definitely recommend turning on increased suit contrast on a smaller screen though..Version: 1.1
I’ve never been obsessed with a game…Actually can not stop playing. I downloaded it at 9pm and played it for 6 hours! Then woke up and immediately wanted to play it again. Last night I stayed up until 3am playing it again. It’s so good. Challenging and yet every “run” is different and you build different strategies. Love it so much- I’m going to have to set some time limits to playing this game or I will get nothing else done! Taking away a star as it doesn’t always save your stats. It also doesn’t sync between iPad and phone. I took screenshots so I can see my best scores to date but still bummed that I just got a million in one hand and it’s not showing up in my stats. I guess it’s a known issue..Version: 1.1.9
Inability to PlayAfter the most release of Balatro (trial version), I am unable to play Balatro without disconnecting from the internet completely, be it cellular data or WiFi. This is inconvenient as a player since playing offline doesn’t exactly save your EXACT progress in the game/ during a run, only before a boss blind if you were previously IN the boss blind, after beating the boss blind and collecting your income/ reward cash after a blind but before making any purchases in the shop… etc.. I of course have purchased the full game since the middle of last year and have been playing almost every day since then, now of course I am experiencing this issue - hope this resolves soon..Version: 1.3
First I thought it was crackSoon I realized it was black rock heroin.Version: 1.1.4
Simply one of the best rogue-like out there…If you’re on the fence about buying this game, hesitate no longer! Just buy it, you’ll get your money’s worth I can assure you. Major content update was announced for 2025, such a good time to be a Balatro fan!.Version: 1.1.3
Omg life changedMy wife almost left me because I was playing this on a date night, no regrets.Version: 1.1.9
PogGame is pog.Version: 1.1.4
Buy itI read a review that compared this game to black rock cocaine, they weren’t wrong.Version: 1.1.9
I think I’m addictedI am addicted to this game, I don’t talk to anyone, I play this game all the time, the only time I don’t is when I dream, and I dream balatro.Version: 1.3
I love the game but the tiny texts gives me a headacheI really thought for a 13 dollar game they’d at least change the graphics to work on mobile but it’s literally just the normal game sized down which doesn’t sound to bad but it’s worse then you think and literally gives me a headache. I might literally need to get glasses to be able to play this game in a couple years. I honestly love Balatro so much and think it’s absolutely stunning and super fun but addicting game but I am very disappointed that I wasted my money (I’m not risking taking to much Tylenol just to play this game).Version: 1.1.7
Was supposed to be fun card gameSoon realized its straight puck to the dome black tar heroin.Version: 1.1.9

Perfect time wasterLost my job because of how much I was playing this game on the throne. Then my wife left me, took the kids, and the house... But at least Ive gotten past Blind8 so #winning.Version: 1.3
Please add accessibility card colors settingThe original game has a setting to make the card colors more distinct. I honestly think it should be the default, but the option absolutely must be implemented, especially for the smaller screen.Version: 1.1.2
Great game but…Needs an option to enlarge text. Playing in landscape on the phone makes some of the words (and cards) impossible to read. Right now it’s really only playable on an iPad.Version: 1.1.7
IOS 26 Performance IssuesUsed to have amazing performance but the iOS26 update on my iPhone 16 has led to frame drops while playing. Please help address this!.Version: 1.3

BEST GAME EVERI’ve bought this game on my switch, pc and now my phone. I had an entire week to study for my last final exam and I risked it all to play Balatro for 7 days straight instead of studying. I’ve pulled many all nighters because all I wanted to do was to play this game. My friends ask me why I bother playing on different devices since accounts don’t sync across platforms & I just tell them I do it for my Balatro addiction..Version: 1.1.9
You need this in your lifeWheel of fortune.Version: 1.1.9
Perfect game one annoying bugI’ve beaten the game I don’t know how many times now but I’ve had a couple problems with unlocking things; I won on Blue deck and the game said I unlocked the deck that comes with that but I look in my collection and nothing was unlocked same thing happened when I reached ante 12 I want to keep playing but it feels useless.Version: 1.1.9
Has some save problemsHello I’ve been really loving this game, but have encountered some save problems as I progress through the game. When I’m able to win to Endless Mode, I - sometimes - find that when I return to the main menu, the card or the deck I had unlocked is not actually unlocked. It’s quite frustrating because I’m getting to the point where I’m struggling to win with certain decks or chips, and then to have that accomplishment taken away is… frustrating to say the least..Version: 1.1.9
Love it, but has some bugsI’m addicted to this game, but it bothers me that sometimes I’ll unlock a card (eg. unlock a joker during a run) and it doesn’t count as unlocked when I complete the run. I’ve even unlocked a Joker in a run, used it in the same run, then when I finished it didn’t count as unlocked or discovered. Again, I love the game, but I don’t enjoy losing progress in my completion journey!.Version: 1.1.8
BugFun game but game doesnt allow me to progress and unlock stuff….Version: 1.1.8
Straight gas, straight fireGot reeled in immediately, felt like a fish. How easy I was hooked on the game..Version: 1.1.7
Amazing game but can sometimes ignore winsI’ve played Balatro on PC and PS5 and it’s amazing. Immediately decided to get it on mobile while bored at work. It has been a lot of fun but twice now I have beat ante 8 and continue to endless mode, quit out and came back into it, lost, and shows that I have not won a game yet. My record says ante 10 but no wins on record which is quite frustrating. Would advise not trying endless mode unless you can commit right then and there the rest of the run..Version: 1.1.8
Awesome game, better on larger screenI only wish the layout was refactored a bit for smaller screens, i love love playing it on steam but playing it on my iPhone 13 gives me a headache, the font is so small!.Version: 1.1.8
Sideways mode only?Good game but it should be easy to design a game like this for vertical mode instead of having to hold your phone sideways. I’d really love to be able to play this game one handed ( :^) so please devs add support for this!.Version: 1.1.8
Fun gamePls make the ui bigger 🙏.Version: 1.1.6
Amazing gameLove this great on mobile.Version: 1.1
Great, but needs better layoutI love this game and generally play it on steam. I like the idea that it is on mobile platforms, but there are two main issues. First, I wish there was a way to sync progress across devices. Second, the layout on the mobile platforms is not the best. I works well for PC, but I find myself straining to read and see everything on the mobile version..Version: 1.1.6
Great GameSimple and fun only negative is please add bigger fonts.Version: 1.1.6
Great, but...Great rogue-lite poker game, however it can be very difficult to make out text and suits since those elements are so small on my iPhone 15. An old person mode would be much appreciated..Version: 1.1.6
OMG!!!!The interface and touch mechanics are wonderful. I am so happy!.Version: 1.1
Progression problemThe game is amazing but often when i win a run or unlock new items, nothing gets counted. It’s like i haven’t done anything even though i played and completed the challenges. It says i unlocked a new deck and when i check, the deck is still locked. I hope there’s a fix soon because the game is almost perfect..Version: 1.3
Absolute perfectionThe fact that I willingly spent money on my phone to buy this proves how good the game is, once you learn the simple mechanics of your own play style, 1hr feels like 5mins. I definitely recommend this game and I’ll even go far enough to say that it’s the best roguelike game and nothing will ever top it..Version: 1.3
ADICCIÓN TOTALLo balatro sale caro.Version: 1.3
Amaze amaze amazeAbsolutely adore this game. However, imagine my disappointment when I found out it won’t play offline during my 11 hour flight 😭 please fix!.Version: 1.3
