Leave a Review Rogue
Thanks
I've been waiting for someone to write this game for while. Absolutely great, and highly recommended to anyone who wants a great RPG.Beasley77
Dungeon Crawl Classic
Great for free and the updated graphics should be sufficient for anyone who isn't just after a nostalgia hit. Trawl around a dungeon killing monsters, finding treasure, winning experience points and drinking mysterious potions (watch out for the Potion of Hallucination) : who could ask for more?Barleycorn1875
Rogue: best roguelike game!
This is a great port, and I'm happy to see it on the iPhone. The gesture-based interface is tricky, but it is no more obscure than the keyboard shortcuts of the original. Graphics and responsiveness are great on the iPhone and the pulldown menus are better than a keyboard system. Landscape mode zooms out so you can see more dungeon but everything gets small -- a pinch and zoom/pan interface would be sweet, as would some battle sounds. The port stands up just fine as is though, and is highly playable and ready to play, so long as you know you're playing a graphically simple, ancestral computer game.
Can we get Nethack and Elite next, please? :-)Show lessJindoFox
The future is in the past!
I love this game. It was a little wired at first but it's great. I want more retro ports!!!! Nintendo should get in on this. I'm not holding my breath on that but if they just realesed some gameboy classic ports they could rake in the cash. Same with sega gamegear. Anyways dreams aside this is a great game and I hope to see many more classic games coming to iPhone. Free or otherwise.Show lessKingZombait
Yep! This is rogue
Once you figure out the gesture interface, you're up and running. In a few respects, it's easier to learn than the original full-keyboard version! Once I worked out how to actually attack a monster (swipe from the center all the way to the edge, versus just to the monster, which makes you rest!), i now have something to do at the airport.Show lessmainstreetmark2
Shows promise, but clunky interface
I loved the old rogue, so I had high hopes. But the swipe interface is too difficult to use, it kept misreading my inputs, it just got frustersting. Its missing a help page, had to learn interface from the website faq. The graphical interface is very nice, the all text version is too small font to be easily to view. I'd much prefer a series of action buttons, but if you can learn the swipe system it looks like a fun RPG. P.S. Am frustrated I can't find the author's email address on his site.Show lessQuartex
It's Rogue!
It's Rogue for the touch/iPhone! I may never come out of the dungeon again! :D And what a wonderful (and really clever) implementation it is. Gandreas Software, I'm keeping my eye on you. Your M.O.T.E.S app is the app I play with most and now you've given us the classic dungeon crawl--I can hardly wait to see what you come up with next. I'm super impressed.Show lessValentia
Brings back memories
This is a great little old school game that those of us over a certain age will remember. The only bad thing about it so far is that I'm wearing out my fingers with the gestures. If you like a slower paced game then give this one a go.madmuso
