Never the same game twice, this absorbing and addictive, off the wall mini-golf-based puzzler requires players to use their ingenuity to play their way to victory and lucrative rewards, whether strategically, tactically or by being a downright dirty dawg...! Players must collect, unlock, buy or hire rewards to enable them to complete a variety of puzzles across five themes, on more than 95 holes to build up their equipment and skills. Not only that but with seemingly endless ways of completing each puzzle, King of Clubs offers enormously long-lasting playability. Set in a dilapidated theme park in the middle of the Nevada desert (rumours abound that it is built on the site of an old nuclear waste site...but we can ignore that), King of Clubs looks like a cross between an amateur theatrical production and a kitsch vintage Americana playground paradise for jerky-lovin’ trailer trash! Complete with pteranodons on poles, spaceships on string and wobbly waves (plus so much more!), each themed world comes complete with its own quirky resident pro/boss, whom players must beat in order to advance to the next level before ending up in a showdown with the top guy himself, Big Bubba King.

Pocket Gamer UK

King of Clubs proves to be a neat twist on the well-worn golfing template, but it lacks the polish and all-round quality to make it a serious contender.

EuroGamer

It's still a shockingly easy game right up until the last holes, but it's got just enough depth to keep it entertaining.

DarkZero

In the end the annoying level design, poor utilisation of the aim and power-ups are the main bunkers that stop this title from being a hole in one.

Jolt Online Gaming UK

King of Clubs is clunky, boring and most of the work seems to have gone into the presentation, which is a poor indictment of the game indeed.

VideoGamer

King of Clubs isn't unplayable, or broken, it's just a bad game.
