Developed by a single person, Balatro is a unique poker-themed rogue-like deckbuilder which launched back in February to a wave of success – selling over 1 million copies in just a month. Thanks to its relatively simple controls, the game is perfectly suited to a mobile port. Finally, Balatro is officially available on both iOS as well as Android right now.
Available right now across both iOS and Android (as well as Apple Arcade if you’re subscribed), Balatro is described as “a magical mix of card games like Solitaire and Poker, that lets you twist the rules in ways never seen before!”
First released on PC back in February, the game proved to be so addictive that some fans even went so far as to create their own Android port of the game.
Of course, having a proper, official mobile port is certainly welcome, even if it does cost a relatively hefty £9.99 – well, hefty for mobile games at least.
That said, given the quality of Balatro, it’s safe to say that the asking price is more than worth it.
