This is finally on Steam -- it is one of the few iOS original games that had 1) no DLC and 2) wasn't an endless runner or TinyTower clone.

What it is instead is a fast playing, deck-building roguelike. You move your character around map fighting monsters. You fight them by drawing cards from a very small deck and playing them. Gaining levels provides new powers and cards. The game revolves around a simple action-point/mana-point/damage-type/card draw economy which is surprisingly deep. Achievements unlock new cards, powers, and classes which really impact how the game is played.

10 wildly different classes, lots of viable strategies, and unabashedly challening (at least to get everything -- I'm very close). The main "con" is that it looks terrible -- the art is truly pathetic. Regardless, I played it every day on transit for months and still enjoy it. The designer was snapped up by Blizzard to work on Hearthstone, so he'll probably never do anything good again. :(
