  • Won't even start. No good.

    Won't even start. Just a black screen and crash.
  • I love it!

    I'm from the younger generation so I got born a decade after this was originally made. Despite this, I love it! I highly recommend this FREE app!
  • I just don't get it..

    Yes, I'm too young for this to be nostalgic or even familiar, so I personally find if underwhelming. The controls are especially strange, and I don't think I'll play this again when there are similar games with better visuals out there. I got this to try out the gesture based commands, but they never worked for me.

  • Good stuff!

    Really liking this game! One minor setback though is that I often get stuck on a level with lots of rooms but nowhere to progress to (no stairs) I've tried looking for hidden doors but is coming back with zilch... My request is that the searching for hidden doors movement is easier...and less time consuming (it gets very aggravating since it needs to be repeated multiple times....) and a reset game button (I've been deleting and reinstalling the game when I get stuck...

  • Good Game But Awkward Commands

    Once you get used to the move commands, it's pretty much like the Unix Rogue except it's over generous with the items you find. I remember in the Unix version, items were very scarce. Also, it's not entirely faithful to the Unix version as there are new potions and scrolls not seen before.

    Issues:

    1) When the inventory is displayed the command button doesn't work right. It should clear the inventory and proceed with the command.

    2) It identifies scrolls and potions after they've been used but it does NOT identify the wands after usage. Why? At least let us write notes to ID the wand.

    3) Yeah throwing potions at monsters would be good.

    4) Wizard mode doesn't do anything. In the Unix version you go up a few levels, get splint mail and a two handed sword. :)

  • Not a game for touch/screens

    I was wondering how this game would work without a keyboard, and it turns out, not very well. You have to remember different strokes instead of different keys.
  • Love this port. Play it more than anything else!

    I'm an old school rogue fan and I've played this port on and off for a few years now.
    Accept the learning curve for the touch controls and it feels great once you get the hang of it!
    Yes, it occasionally loses your game, but in the world of Rogue you were probably about to die anyway. Stop crying and try again.
    Plus it's FREE.
    Pwnage.

  • Appreciate the effort...

    Can't complain about a free, solid port like this, but I do wish the app wouldn't bomb to the home screen whenever a push notification or text comes in. More importantly, app stopped running after about 2 weeks -- won't load when I was in the middle of my best quest yet. :( Wish for more items to be found -- esp. scrolls of identify -- as in Epyx software version I played as a kid.

  • Great game!

    It's a great game - really classic, with Okami-style controls to make it better! It's completely bug-free except for one time, when I did the gesture for "throw" it brought up the throw menu, then when I chose something to throw it brought up the eat menu instead of throwing. When I used the command picker it worked fine though. Other than that, it's great.

  • This isn't Rogue

    Sorry developers/publishers but this isn't Rogue. UI just doesn't work for me - given how small most caves are in ASCII give the option of ditching the graphic view and having a mini keyboard
