  • Great

    It may take a little while to get used to the touch controls but once you do controlling your character is a snap. Would be nice if you could throw potions at the mobs. And there is still room for improvement elsewhere but it's still quite solid. I've had very few problems with crashing or slow responce times.

  • bring on nethack....

    moria, angaband etc. etc - controls take a bit of getting used to but for us old schoolers (was playing this in lunch room at work yesterday to much bemusement) brilliant.
  • Mr

    Used to play this on an old Atari. Very adictive and a must for lovers of D and D games. All I need to know is, is it worth getting the other version that you have to pay for? I love this game (already got to level 15).
  • Disappointed...

    Was excited when I saw this on the app store, but faded once I actually started playing. The touch/gesture controls compltely ruined the game making it virtually unplayable.
  • Great classic game; iPod interface is well thought-out

    Thank you very much for this port and for making it available for free. The interface is well designed and I'm amazed at how playable this game is on an iPod. I have one suggestion: when commands bring up a list of items, the list should include an option to pick an item that's not of the default type. For example, the "throw" command only lets you throw weapons, so there's no way to throw a potion of confusion.

  • Needs work

    Well done port, although this should probably be listed as beta:

    Throwing items works only occasionally, which is a big deal when you're trying to keep your distance from certain creatures.

    The biggest problem - I just had it crash on me, and when I restarted, it was back to level 1! Save file gone? I dunno, but I had some great items, hit points, and strength. :(

  • i eat babies

    i would give it no stars if i could
  • wow - basically perfect

    This kicks - and it is one of the only apps that I've across so far that actually does what it's supposed to do and does a lot. Really nice recreation of the classic game. I can't think of anything to complain about - except that I don't really have the time to waste on games like this anymore :( If I was 8 again, this'd be eating up a lot of my time. Thumbs up!

  • Great iPhone rendition of the classic

    This is a great rendition of the classic Rogue. This is for addicts of Roguelike games. If you don't know what that means, pass on this. Don't expect it to be what it's not. I didn't just download this, I've been playing over and over again... and most of the "bugs" people are complaining about are the way the original game is supposed to work, or are easy to work around. I ran into the throw bug but now that I just swipe from edge to edge to throw, it works every time. And people who say it's hard to move or can't find an exit to a room... you don't know how the original works. Please do Nethack next! I actually prefer this to Rogue Touch (which I paid for) in many ways, and I play this more while Rogue Touch sits unused.

  • Great port

    This is a pretty faithful remake of a classic, and is the only game I play with any real regularity on my iPod Touch. The good and bad thing about this game is...it is Rogue. This is old school gaming right here, people. If you can finish it you are hardcore. It is incredibly hard, perma-death reigns supreme, and you can't backup saves like on the PC. For the life of me I just can't get beyond level 12 :( All in all a great game, very addicting, and it's FREE!!!
