Dreams Keeper Solitaire

Kay, the way I see it -> You have two options. One -> If you REALLY LOVE Solitaire games? And will play literally anything? OH GOOD. You can have "fun" with this one! Two -> You will know what your second choice is upon finding out the contents of this game........ >.> Good stuff: Graphics / Card Designs (you can pick the back/face) / Solitaire style (Up/Down) / Equippable Items / Challenges. The iffy: There are a whole lot of missing sheet in the game and bugs! Such as: Coins do ABSOLUTELY FREAKING NOTHING! Don't even bother with the freaking "BONUS COINS" that pops up on the card! Card combos are for coins. Which means it's also for freaking nothing. (Apart from a challenge, but whatever). "Complete challenges for more clothing"? F that! There is no such thing! You just get it "crossed out" or if you get a bug: you will have XX / 10 and never get it marked as complete. Enjoy that feeling. There is a bug where the explanations on what certain cards/bonus never appear. They might "suddenly" appear randomly when you are already past figuring it out the damn thing for yourself! Clothing drops are set to specific levels. But for some unknown reason... You might get a random clothing drop and that level will usually be the one that YOU CAN'T FINISH due to really bad cards!!! "Dress Your Character However You Like" -> Try it. GO ahead. There are "DEBUFFS" on the outfits. So sure, sure. GL just randomizing your sheet. Besides... Once you get to the third dream world...? You will only work with THREE items that will help you. Everything else... Meh. You can work naked for all it matters. Clothing doesn't really matter. I only use two abilities and the rest...? It's bare bones. Some explanations on clothing doesn't make sense. It says "Temporary Buffs wont appear"... But everything always appears... Even with that equipment on!!! So WTH ARE TEMP BUFFS?! Or is this another broken thingy?! Wild Cards/ Jokers (which you can only HAVE FOUR of. Yeap. 4. But okay.) drop SUPER RARELY. DO NOT DEPEND ON THEM! You will be lucky to get even ONE in 30+ levels. [b]THE WORST...[/b] I'll repeat... [u] THE WORST [/u] thing you will encounter in this game will be at [u]LEVEL 82[/u] and on. There is a new BS "Enemy Card" introduced... Which has a TINY COUNTDOWN and then it will EAT THE CARDS FROM YOUR DECK! "Oh, what's so bad? Just eliminate it". You think there is JUST ONE?! There could be... OVER SIX OF THEM! And the countdown as LOW AS "FIVE". THEY ARE BURIED DEEP. By the time you get to one? You will be missing half your freaking deck. With extremely low Wild/Joker drops... You will have NOTHING but YOUR LUCK to RESTART AND RESTART AND RESTART until you get the damnable "GREAT CARD DROPS" so that you can PASS THAT ONE LEVEL. Then you might sigh in reprieve... Only for more of the same enemy card to show up again. I held myself back. Tried my best to get through it and in the end... I said "Beep it! Why in the hell should I play a game that's not only not finished, I probably wont even get past world three?" My Challenges were bugged at this point and what else could I do? Pfft. Oh and whatever you do? DO NOT DESTROY THE CARD THAT HAS THE "CLOTHING ITEM" underneath!!! You will be hard locked and will have to re-do the level AGAIN! You will also be stuck on ending levels and have to re-do them again... Until the game "Feels Like" letting you through to the next Dream World. Screw that! Enjoy your own damn Nightmares! I am going to go play a far more reasonable game that doesn't smack you upside the head and punches your throat at every single turn of your head! >....................<

It is a solid up/down or golf format solitaire game. like many before it it has a story along side the levels and the interwoven "rpg" type equipment system adds to the over all theme of this game, the deck feels random, as in you cant be sure that with 12 cards left and 2 one the board that youll pull a card you need to win. other solitaire games ive played (all of them or almost all) you can bet on getting the card you need with in 5 draws. the art style is also refreshingly different than other solitaire games, and reflects the themes well. over all if you enjoy a good casual solitaire game, youll enjoy this one with its slightly different take on buffs and power ups.

[i] My Experience [/i] Dreams Keeper includes the suite of powers and board obstacles that has become standard for DigiMight's +1/-1 solitaire entries. However, you'll also have access to equipment you can adorn that will provide both advantages and disadvantages to your "protagonist" (as the game refers to him). Although I absolutely welcome this change to the formula, I found that most of these equipment decisions were pretty simple. At most, there were two different items that were serious contenders for any single equipment slot, and many of the items had disadvantages that were frankly too prominent to ignore. In terms of improving the game, it might be interesting if certain levels (levels 20 through 40, for example) had specific obstacles, and the player could acquire particular items that made them better equipped to handle the obstacles in question. This might lead the player to switch gear in and out depending on the level in question. As it stands, new obstacles are introduced every few levels, and levels at the end of the game include a random mixture of those that were previously introduced. If you like these +1/-1 solitaire games, you'll like this one - just don't expect any major shake-ups.

The game seems to be without support. I cannot find the quit game button after starting a layout and received no reply on the discussion. It is neither engaging nor relaxing. Performance is rough, not much too the game but it heats up the system as if it were much larger than it is. Needs a visit from the dev in that area.

Overall a solid game. It is hard to find a lot of macOS specific solitaire games on Steam so I am pleased with how it plays and it keeps it interesting.

Some levels are unsolvable, even after multiple replays. So no point in buying this one if you looking to complete the game and get what you paid for.
