Loving the mechanics

Very solid tactical gameplay. Can you please remove the weird scan lines in the tutorial?

Great Mechanics, Great App Implementation

I really enjoy Yomi, so playing it on the go is quite nice! It's awesome how people using the app version and others using Steam version can interact! More people should give this game a chance! If ye enjoyed the mindgames of Street Fighter or other fighting games in the past, and don't mind card games, this is something ye should really check out!!

Still good Al these years later

Keep updating the app dudes! It’s awesome as it’s ever been.

Great game

Awesome game, well worth the purchase. If you are on the fence, go online and give it a try for free.

Excellent

In a word...NICE! David Sirlin knows how to make a game. For those of you who play Yomi, you will love this. For those of you who don't here's a great place to start. Its user interface is great and makes sense. It has an amazing tutorial (I am a seasoned Yomi tabletop player but wanted to see how they approached it) that covers all the rules and some basic strategy, but leaves you to your own devices to use that knowledge to "pass" the tutorials. In the single player game, you're not stuck with a predicable, dumb opponent. You can choose easy or hard, and both have a decent challenge. You can play online as well and it's cross-platform, so you can play with people on their home computers. Survival mode is done well, too. If I were to ask for one thing, it would be to have a way to just look at the decks and see what each character has to offer. For the price, you can't beat this. For a total of $20 you get all 20 characters and unlimited online play. To put that in perspective you should note that the complete tabletop version is $100, and that's just for the 10 base characters. So to sum it all up, this is an amazing app. It plays well and is fun for seasoned players and is a great place for new players to get started. The easiest 5-star rating I've ever given. Here's to Puzzle Strike making the jump to iOS next!

Very buggy

Somehow slow and no updates five years,don’t buy

great but read

great game but devs no longer support this and online lobby is ghost town. amazing game, but prob best played local

Excellent!

Yomi is a phenomenal card game of strategy and tactics. Hand management, reading your opponent, and playing a bit of poker make this game unique and interesting. Similar to an arcade fighter, you will need to predict your opponent's next move, counter, and execute large combos to win. This is tense, exciting, and most importantly fun. The app for Yomi has a host of features and game modes from replays to online matches to statistics. There are 20 decks to dive into, which if you were to purchase the physical version would cost upwards of $200! This digital version may be more costly than other apps on the marketplace, but you will be hard-pressed to find a game that is as well-balanced and full of content as Yomi is. At the end of the day, I've sunk countless hours into Yomi in both its physical and digital renditions, and it never ceases to entertain me. I highly recommend this to anyone even remotely interested.
