Luck be a Landlord Critic Reviews

A unique spin on the roguelike deckbuilding genre full of well thought out ideas and an addicting gameplay loop.

Luck be a Landlord manages to perfectly blend slots with a deckbuilding roguelike. I never thought those two would work, but just like Peglin taught me recently, the developers that manage getting genres like these working together are the real ones to keep a watch over for future games. Luck be a Landlord is a game I’ll have on my iPhone homescreen for a long time. I just hope the update with landscape support arrives in the near future. I liked it enough to buy it at full price on Steam soon after playing the iOS version. It is that good.

This game wedges compelling roguelike and deck-building systems into a slot machine to create a surprisingly strategic experience that feels perfect for mobile play.

Accompanied by ambient trance music, it’s one of those games where you can slip into the zone and not realise an hour’s passed, making this a somewhat dangerous distraction on public transport.
