CloverPit is a psychological horror rogue-lite that traps you in a rusty cell with only a slot machine, an ATM, and a mounting debt. To survive, you must hit monetary milestones at the end of each round; failure means falling into the 'pit.' Manipulate the odds by purchasing 'Lucky Charms' and receiving game-changing power-ups. With over 150 items and complex synergies, you must turn a simple fruit slot into a high-stakes engine of survival. This is a premium port of the Steam hit, optimized for mobile.

Our Expert Score

95/100

CloverPit is an absolute descent into madness. It takes the 'rogue-lite deckbuilder' formula popularized by games like Balatro and applies it to a cursed slot machine with a psychological horror twist. The tension is palpable; every time you pull that lever, you’re literally gambling for your survival. The atmosphere is oppressive and grimy, making you feel the desperation of the protagonist’s debt.

The depth of the charm system is staggering. Finding a synergy between a 'Lucky Cat' and a 'Broken Hourglass' that lets you cheese a high-debt round is an incredible high. It’s dark, it’s funny, and it’s deeply addictive. The mobile port is perfect, with the 'escape room' perspective feeling very natural on a touchscreen. If you want a strategy game that actually makes you feel something—even if that something is dread—CloverPit is a masterpiece. Just don't blame me when you start hearing the slot machine reels in your sleep.

Complex, Engaging, and Surprisingly Balanced
Mon Jan 12 2026 ADDjake

Avid Balatro player here! I’ve been poking around to try and find new games to play around with; most games I’ve played in this “roguelite take on classic games” genre either fail to stand out from bigger names within the category, or have mechanics which fail to capture the essence of this genre of game. This game toes this line perfectly, creating its own identity through its unique visual style, well-balanced but still intriguingly complex mechanics, and execution, while still fitting into the core of what these types of roguelites seem to be. Genuinely no major complaints - I found the UI a bit difficult to navigate when first starting, but after a few rounds I had no issues. The only “bug” I encountered was when picking up a charm that decreased charm slots by 1 when you have only 1 slot left, you end up over the charm limit (i.e. 7/6 charms); though, that being said, I think it works well mechanically. Fantastic game, and I look forward to seeing more of what the game has to offer!

I love this game…However
Sat Sep 05 2026 SirScrungles

I’ve had the game for several months now and even bought it on pc (please give us cross progression🙏🏻) and I like it a lot. The charms are unique the fusion dlc is really cool. My issue lies with the monotypes packs (specifically delusions of grandeur). I really enjoy using them but the way you collect them is tedious on top of that you can go 45 packs without seeing the one card you’re trying to get or you’ll get 7 of the same card in a row(I’m talking to you first love), and it feels like I’m being punished for doing well on my last run. I’ve had 30+ runs never even making past the first deadline solely due to the fact that there were no beneficial charms in the shop and the slot giving literally a single pattern once ever 6 spins. It just feels like there’s no “luck management” rather just hope you get what you need round one or your doomed from the start. Again I love the game I just wish I could actually get the cards and card packs consistently. Other than those gripes this game is a sold 8.5/10. Will I continue gambling my life away. Yes. Am I going to want to rip my hair out. Yes. But man oh man seeing number get big will never get old.

Fantastic Game—Please Add Faster Animations
Sat Jul 25 2026 Alchemy7777

Absolutely fantastic game. This is easily one of the most addictive and cleverly designed roguelikes I’ve played on iOS. It scratches the same itch as Balatro and Luck Be a Landlord while still feeling completely original. There are so many interesting mechanics and interactions to discover that every run teaches you something new. I’ve already put a lot of hours into it, and I’m still finding new combinations and hidden systems. My one request is for a higher animation speed—or even better, an option to skip the scoring animations entirely. Once you get into the late game and builds are producing 40+ Ultra Jackpots or massive pattern chains every spin, the game becomes animation-bound rather than gameplay-bound. Even at 4× speed, a single spin can easily take over a minute to resolve. During your first successful run that’s exciting, but once you’ve already experienced it, those long waits become the biggest obstacle to replayability. A 10× or 20× speed option, or a simple “Instant Resolve” / “Skip Scoring Animations” toggle, would make a huge difference for experienced players who want to keep pushing longer runs and experimenting with new builds without spending most of their time waiting for animations. Other than that, this is an outstanding game and one of the best premium roguelikes available on iOS. Highly recommended.

Just the Best

Purchasing this app before cloud save is even available because I’m just so excited about it! I have this game on Steam and it is so fun and addicting and really lets you get that true gamble vibe and “anxiety” (for lack of a better word) without your real bank account taking a hit. Plus, as someone whose gameplay is truly affected by the game audio, I have to say the sound effects are *chef’s kiss* If you haven’t played this yet, even if you aren’t into gambling games (I never was), you should still try it! There’s nothing truly scary about this game, for anyone worried about the “horror” aspect, but the stakes will have you at the edge of your seat never knowing if the next pull of the lever will lead to you gaining millions and being able to progress, or forcing you to restart with a new game plan.

Core gameplay is there but optimizations are needed
Tue Dec 23 2025 Tactical Donut

Well, this is probably the first review I’ve written in over a decade. After seeing the Steam news that this port was available, this was an instant buy for me. Pros: 1. The core gameplay is absolutely there and just as enjoyable. 2. It’s just like the desktop variant. I had always hoped there would be a mobile port, the gameplay is not inherently complicated and lends itself well to touch controls and small displays. 2. The integration with the Game Center system for achievements is a nice bonus as well. 3. Thank the lord that you can turn off the nauseating “zoom 10x into the slot machine on every spin”. Cons: 1. The biggest problem. The movement is inverted and there is no option to un-invert. 2. The movement sensitivity is a bit low and I find myself having to repeatedly swipe to move short distances. Again, no option to change. 3. The screen “safe zone” seems to be fixed. On devices like the 11 inch iPad Pro, there are black bars on the top and bottom. 4. Despite the black borders, UI elements seem to often clip off of the usable area. This is especially the case with the pause menu. 5. In my opinion, the pause menu should be a separate button, rather than needing to know to tap on the drawer. This is not intuitive and to some extent requires having played the desktop version to understand that ESC pulls the drawer open, and that tapping the drawer would lead to the same results here. 6. No 120 FPS option for high end devices. A want, not a need, but definitely an option that I immediately noticed is missing.

Absolute MUST HAVE, My 2025 GotY
Thu Jan 08 2026 SolVince

This is an absolute gem on Steam and I was ecstatic to see it branch out to App Store! TL;DR: 10/10 Has incredible replayablility, the music and sound effects are incredibly satisfying, and has plenty of fun secrets to uncover! 😉 Literally my favorite game of 2025, CloverPit finally makes it to IOS! $5 is an absolute steal for this gem, especially considering the convenience. Collect coins as you try to free yourself before running out of money, using all kinds of items and unsettling help to win! …but do we play these games to win or to enjoy the fun of pulling the lever? Up to you to decide, but if you’re an ADHD person like me, you can tap on the slot screen to make a noise and the button pressing sound is incredibly satisfying!! The literal only nitpick negative is the button eventually gets tied to functions in game, thus removing my ability to stim spam it like I’m a granny trying to touch the piggy’s for good luck. I would love if you’re not ready to actively spin the machine, you could tap the button without repercussion, or some equivalent. If we could link to our steam account and safe the data to the cloud, that would be the best!

Updated Camera Settings Please
Sun Jan 18 2026 NarJool

First played the game on steam and then got the mobile version because I knew I would want to play it on the go. First thing that stood out to me was the camera. The camera seems to exist with full 360 controls, and being able to fully control the camera causes some friction in gameplay. This is nothing horrible per se, but it is some friction, nonetheless. I looked in the settings to try and find anything that changes this to some version of a camera swivel, or a “tap to change view”, but I could not find any settings that affect the camera controls. I just noticed, immediately, that the momentum and physics of the camera would spin me to look at something I either didn’t want to look at, or it would spin me a little too far and I would not get a clear view of it. I then would have to spend time doing little micro-adjustments to see it more center-frame and this was slightly frustrating, but it got easier the more I played and I got used to it. My recommendation would be to implement a swivel mechanic, where instead of full 360 camera controls, I can simply press arrow key/buttons on the sides of the screen to cycle through the different scenes within the room. Similar to how you have the score multiplier/lucky charm table view, slot machine view, and symbol view on steam! But now, just implement it to the whole room. I think that a simple arrow button that indicates which direction to swivel and look, and then the game doing most of the camera swivel work, would have a massive impact on overall quality of life for all mobile players. This is my lone, single knock on the mobile version of the game. The game itself is amazing! Excellent work, and the app runs very well. Looking forward to everything you guys do in the future!

Coin flipping app with extra steps
Mon Oct 12 2026 Fly0strich

I really don’t understand why this app has such high ratings, other than the fact that the younger generations have been brainwashed into believing that Gacha Games and Buttons connected to RNG are the pinnacle of gaming. This game really is just a slot machine. Except it’s even worse than a regular slot machine app, because you can’t even choose to to cash out and take your winnings. Your only option is spin again. There are random items that you can buy as you play, which rarely have any helpful qualities, and almost never have any synergy with other items you already have. But you can get lucky on rare occasion to create a broken build. Too many runs are impossible to win right from the beginning. I’ve had multiple runs where I was able to buy every possible item in the shop and take the maximum number of spins allowed in the first stage, but still don’t win enough from the machine to make it to the second stage, and I just die instantly with nothing that could have possibly been done to prevent it. There is zero skill involved in this game. It really might as well just be a coin flip app that says “You Win” on one side of the coin and “You Lose” on the other. I regret spending money on it, but at least it was on sale, so it was only $2.
