Balatro

Wake up, honey! The break-out poker roguelike deckbuilding game Balatro was released for Android and iPhone on September 26th. I will not be purchasing it because I have already played it to death on PC, but I don’t have a reason to think LocalThunk hasn’t created a good port for a game that already seemed like a natural fit for mobile.

You’re given various tools to help make that happen, whether it’s jokers that modify the way you interact with your deck, planet cards that improve the scoring of specific hands, or card packs that change the composition of your deck to make specific hand types more favorable.
