The dark tide of the lost rises, and with it comes a chasm through the skies. The cosmic voice that eats up light. Leaving all but frail, wretched beings bereft of spirit who wander the lands in search of the spark, the ember of life. Beware the grey, indomitable fog.

Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 24 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Having come from Faerie Solitaire Harvest, this one is a different style (wheel-up/down or golf style as opposed to matching). The soundtrack is great this time as well, and yes it's early access but I want to support the devs. In terms of gameplay, what makes it stand out is that rather than purely going for different layouts of cards, they also added in a fair number of conditions, like certain cards are "locked" and require you to clear the card with the "key" first. Some cards can only be played during combos, some CANNOT be played during combos. You don't have to clear the entire board to win, though the specific cards that do need to be cleared tend to be placed at the bottom so you won't be far from it either way. One thing I have noted is it doesn't seem to matter what suit you match, so it's not like say, Fairway Solitaire where you only get the combo from matching alternating suits. Here, the challenge is getting the combo in the first place, due to the layouts and conditional cards. The ability to place a card into a free space to access later is helpful and the wildcard charges you build up can save a hand from failure. Overall, an interesting take on the genre.
Summary: Though this game is still clearly early access (there are a number of missing features, some missing art), I'm giving it a positive review. The underlying game is a solid one, and the dev's reputation gives me confidence that the remaining features will be implemented well. Extended review: Faerie Solitaire Dire is the latest entry in Subsoap's series of solitaire games. So far, it plays like previous iterations (which is a good thing) with a few key changes. The first main change is that it's based on a different type of solitaire: some up/down variant that I wasn't familiar with before playing this game. In this version, you match the card to the next/previous card, IE a 2 can match an ace or a 3, a queen can match a jack or a king, etc. For fans who have played previous versions, this is a welcome change because it means that you can't just reuse old strategies again. Each level will also lock cards behind certain requirements (such as matching 10 other cards or matching a card from a specific suit) which forces you to plan your moves out strategically. Right now the game is a little harder than previous versions, but that's mainly because some bonus items haven't been implemented yet. The other main change is that now there is a visual novel story to go along with the campaign, but right now it's much more novel than visual due to some missing art assets. I didn't find the story that engaging yet, but that might change when more art is added. Also, for those with no interest in the story, you can toggle it off in the options. Now, some people might be a bit worried about the missing content. After all, there are plenty of early access titles that have seemed to have a good base game only to screw everything up when they implemented the remaining features. This is not something you need to worry about here. Each of the previous Faerie Solitaire games have been solid games, and the unimplemented features are very similar to features in other Subsoap games. For example, the bonus items (which in this game currently do nothing) added a sense of progression and a way to tweak the game difficulty higher or lower based on your preferences. I have no doubt that they will sill this role in Dire as well. Missing art assets might be worrying too, but the art style has been pretty consistent throughout the series, so there's no reason to suspect a sudden dip in quality. For someone who has been playing Faerie Solitaire games for a while, it has been nice to be able to peer behind the curtain and see how it all comes together, so if you are a fan of the previous games I wholeheartedly recommend an early access purchase. For newcomers I would say that you don't need to let the early access tag worry you; this is a dev with a lot of experience and a long-running series with a lot of polish. However, if you are still on the fence, then definitely pick up one of the older titles to try out the gameplay. They are fairly cheap and often on sale if you just want to try it out.

То есть разрабы бросили игру на версии ~0.9, и пошли делать DLC для оригинальной игры 15-летней давности?... А ещё эта версия - вообще не про спокойный геймплей. Здесь ёбнутые новые карты могут не то, что заруинить всю колоду - всю сюжетную главу заодно. Я заебался в это играть - и всё равно в итоге проиграл. Мусор.
A solitaire game that includes strategic thinking along with the challenge of solitaire play. Very engaging and I am looking forward to the completion of the game with more games of play.
A conditional 2022 Early Access thumbs up for Faerie Solitaire Dire. The good It's currently a perfectly playable solitaire game with attractive cards and music. If you're a fan of the previous games by the developers, you will probably like it. There are a few twists that set this apart from your typical Steam solitaire game. The meh There are a lot of systems that are only half-implemented at the moment. I have never been a big fan of the collectathon or shallow pet systems in these games, so it didn't really bother me. The bad The developers seem like nice folks, but they're implementing changes at a snails pace. The current story that connects the levels just isn't compelling. You can skip it automatically, and I'd recommend it. Apparently it will be replaced by something in the future. The full price of $20ish is not worth it for a 10 hour campaign. The verdict In it's current state, it's recommendable on a sale for fans of the franchise. Otherwise I'd wait for an official release.
More of the same, which is never a bad thing. As usual sub soap have distilled fun and mashed it into solitaire, fantasy pokemon( when pets are available:) hybrid. Fun and simple, but never not challenging.
I'd say historically, wives of some "noble" men, tended to set solitaires while waiting for their husbands to come-back from casinoes at night. If this virtual simulation of carrdz adds a shady story on top, to get retribution on these filthy CARRDZ - then I am in I guess. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ ;P PS (#ForeverAlone ;_;)
Well, I think the fact that I've logged over 160 hours on a demo with only a tiny fraction of the levels or features speaks for itself. I can't wait until it's finished. Edit 2/23/2022 -- Can't help but feel like it's been abandoned. Other than a hard-to-find answer to a direct question in the community pages, there's been no communication from the developer as to whether to even hope for it to be finished. Like, ever. Not even the slightest tweak in probably a year or more. There was mention of health problems, which I totally get, but a simple "Hey, can't work on this right now," or "currently doing occupational therapy so I can type again," (which I've had to do TWICE, so not being rude -- it's a thing that happens), or just any transparency at all would be great. I love the whole series, and this one is conceptually probably my favorite, but it is definitely not worth $20 at this point. Would love even a short note from the developer giving any kind of update at all.
First off, it works great on Steam Deck. You can use the touch screen or the right track pad and right trigger button. I like the original Faerie Solitaire so much I bought It went first came out, when it was remastered, and also for Android devices. I bought Faerie Solitaire Dire in early access. As you can see it went in early access in September of 2020. It is now March of 2023, and it is still in early access. There has been very little development and no real communication from the developer. I enjoy playing Faerie Solitaire Dire as it's more challenging than the original game. In fact, I rarely beat a hand on the first try. The game itself is very playable. The cards work, it's got sound effects, it's got music (borrowed from one of their other games), it's got artifacts you can buy to help you, it's got the pets you can evolve. Some artwork is a little placeholdery. The story is not present. I bought this on sale a while back; I would suggest you do the same unless there is evidence of ongoing development. They're promising big updates in 2023. When those start dropping, I will revise my review. It's just been a while since there was a substantial update. Edit: It's Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025 and the last update was still in October of 2022. Don't buy this game. Edit: as of November 10, 2025; we have updates and a promise for renewed focus. There were health and medical issues with one of the devs that are still in play. Look, this game was already "good enough" and if it was $10 instead of $20, I'd say it was complete. With active development, I'm back to recommending this one. But read through the news posts for it so you know what's going on. Also, the placeholder art doesn't bother me. I'd rather have that an genAI slop, honestly.
OK, I Love card games! I REALLY LIKE THE 'FAERIE Solitaire' series by puppygames. I can play for hours. The resent update AUG 2022 has this game running about as perfect as any card game can get. I love this game although it is very addictive. Thank you guys for making this game great!
