Dinsun Review

Conjury is proof that you don't need a thousand cards and flashy 3D effects to make a compelling game. It’s a tight, focused experience. The deckbuilding is simplified but not simple; every card choice matters, and the small hand sizes mean you can't rely on luck to save you. It has that 'just one more run' quality that I haven't felt in a while on mobile.

I appreciate the aesthetic—it’s clean and doesn’t drain my battery. However, the meta-progression is a bit of a grind. You earn very few gems per run, and unlocking new characters takes forever, which feels like a tactic to keep you playing rather than a natural reward. It also lacks the variety of something like Slay the Spire, but for its price and platform, it’s a very respectable effort. It's a game for people who actually like gaming, not just killing time.

Welcome to the world of Conjury, where your imagination is your greatest weapon. In this strategic roguelike deckbuilder, you must navigate through procedurally generated dungeons, collecting powerful spells and ancient relics. Use the innovative 'Synthesis' system to merge different elements like Fire, Ice, and Bolt into devastating new forms. With hundreds of cards to discover, multiple playable mages, and challenging boss encounters, Conjury offers endless tactical depth for fans of card strategy.

Features

Deep Elemental Synthesis card system

Procedurally generated dungeons and encounters

Over 200 spells and 50 unique artifacts

Stunning high-contrast visual style

Unlockable character classes with distinct playstyles

Tips

Synthesis Basics

Pay attention to the 'Priming' effect. Many cards don't do much damage on their own but 'Prime' an enemy with an element. Always try to follow up a 'Primed' status with the opposite element to trigger a 'Reaction Burst' for triple damage.

Path Selection

Between battles, you'll choose your path. Prioritize 'Library' nodes early in a run to build a consistent spell deck. Save your gold for 'Shrine' nodes where you can remove weaker cards to ensure your high-power Synthesis combos appear more frequently.
