  • Bad!!!

    I could hardly figure out how to play this game! Give this one a miss!
  • Retro

    This game is awesome and it's free get it people!
  • Awesome Roguelike

    Great port to the iPhone, I tip my hat to the developer for a very well thought out touch screen control system for this ASCII rogue like. I am really looking forward to his Nethack port, great game if you enjoy this genre, if you are an old school gamer, and remember the likes of Moria, this is for you.

  • Awesome

    Absolutely addicting and brilliant. I'm actually kind of angry that I beat it, because now I don't play it anymore! Oh well. Now I can get some sleep. Best iApp ever.

    No bugs and you'll get the hang of the gestures. If you run into a no exit situation, it means there's a secret door or path. The Ring of Slow Digestion is your best friend!

  • Best replay value

    Played of over and over. Favorite app. Only missing a save game feature
  • Got there in the end...

    I have to admit it took me a while to figure this game out, namely because it starts up in landscape mode and makes your eyes cry in pain because everything's so tiny (and I don't normally have a problem with such things). Once I discovered the prettier graphics mode with zoom features, everything was okay. The controls still take a bit of getting used to, but I'm glad I gave it a chance and didn't just delete the app, because there's really a fantastic game underneath :o) Of course, if you can cope with the tiny graphics the landscape mode is perfectly playable as well!

  • Brilliant

    I got this today because I wanted to get a good rpg and I am loving this, especially the options to change graphics, but maybe the develepors could take out permenant death?
  • Classic Rouge-like gameplay

    The negative reviews are written by those who do not understand games like this. Rouge-likes are not for everyone.
  • Great!

    I've been playing for days and haven't seen any of the reported throwing bugs or no exit situations. The commands take a little getting used to as is expected, but since they're mostly based on the original command letter shapes it's not a long learning curve. Terrific job!
    If you expanded to include ports of other Rogue-like games ( Nethack, Angband, Moria, Ragnorak,etc) That'd be worth paying for.

  • Never played Rogue before...

    ...but I thought I would try it out with this. It kind of lags at points but I really enjoy it. After researching (re:wiki) Rogue, it seems to me that this is an accurate port. The coolest feature is that you can switch between some pretty good sprite graphics to the full-on ASCII just by rotating the device. Five stars because the iPhone/Touch needs more games like this and Rogue for the iPhone needs some more love, not to mention it's a great game.
