Leave a Review Rogue
One of the few free app store games you can keep playing and playing.
Obviously this game isn't for everyone. If you haven't played any rogue-like games you might not be able to handle it. But if you can use your imagination and like the sort of game where experience pays off and crazy things can happen, give it a shot. Some tips: There are lots of hidden doors – if a hallway comes to an end, use the search for traps command a bunch of times. To shoot arrows, equip the bow and throw an arrow – it is often worth the bother, but don't forget to go back to a mace or sword for hand-to-hand combat. Choose your battles and learn which monsters can kill you at various stages of the game.Show lessDuncan M McKee
Flashback!
Wow! This takes me back a few years. I was absolutely thrilled to see Rogue offered. Interface is marvelous. Tilted sideways, map view looks just like I remember. Tilted upright, the new look is great. Commands from drop-down menu are easy enough, though a little clunky-feeling.. no moreso though than the original type-commands. I would have given it five stars just for pure nostalgia, except that on death it kicks me all the way back out to iphone apps screen, and I must restart Rogue all over again to continue playing. Thank you for a delightful application.Show lessambercricket
Standard port, could be much more
A faithful reproduction of Rogue, which is both positive and negative. I hope future versions will take advantage of the interface, instead of giving us long command lists to scroll through or obscure gestures that often fail or are misinterpreted.
The help page is much more user-friendly than the actual game, so I hope some lessons are taken from there.Show lessLil Pips
Brilliant game for its age
Brilliant game with loads of depth considering exactly how far back it was originally created. only problem is (it might be a bug) I went down some stairs to a room and I've searched everywhere and there's no where to go. And I can't start a new game :( Other than that, it is Role playing perfection =]Show lessWillz1405
Good port of an RPG classic
I'll keep waiting for an official iPhone version of nethack but in the meantime Rogue offers some solid ascii based action. Rogue and its descendants are easy to get into and difficult to master. If you want super graphics this isn't for you. If you want a game that is simple to play yet complex enough to provide hours of diversion then get it now.Show lessWindhover
Great Update for Fans?
After 20 minutes I could still not figure out how to play the game, so it unfortunately lost my attention. It's obvious a lot of attention went into this game to update not just the graphics but the controls as well, with gestures and what not. For fans of the original who understand how to play it, this appears to be the definitive version.Show lessepple
Great for any rogue or roguelike fan!
This is a wonderful piece of nostalgia that I'm likely to waste many hours upon. The game itself is a classic. If you've never heard of Nethack or Angband, then you might not appreciate this game. It has a very steep learning curve. The gesture system is a little difficult to pick up, also. Definitely needs a menu interface added. However the game also includes an extensive help file to explain everything. It's free! Try it! Despite rogue not originally having graphics, a tile set has been included and the feature to switch between text and graphic mode by tilting the iPod is brilliant!Show lessThe Fennec
Big fan of Rogue from back in the days but this version has issues!!!
I love rogue.......just not this iphone version, the original. This version is buggy as heck and the worst bug is having to start over because the program crashes and when you restart, it starts you with a new game. i tried many many times and half the time the program has crashed and erased my game. this has to be fixed to be playable.Show lessERdiesel
An excellent game
I had never played this game before, and although it was frustrating at the start, I became addicted to it. For people who have never played, it takes a while to understand what's going on. Even with the instructions, it took a lot of time figuring it out on my own. After that, I enjoyed the game alot, and have played almost nonstop since getting it. It is an outstanding app.Show lessShannThompson
Awesome and totally addicting
I loved Rogue when I was growing up and this is a really nice port especially once you learn the gestures. Please give us Angband and Nethack next :-)andypiperuk
