Reception

[edit]

IGN gave the game a score of 8 out of 10, stating:"KarmaStar is a fun, fresh strategy game that reminded me of a card game without cards. There is a great deal of depth here within the three difficulty levels of your AI-controlled opponents"[6]

Macworld praised the game's strategic depth and great visual style.[7]

Daily Record said "KarmaStar has recently been reduced to 59p on the App Store and is well worth it"[8]
