  • Great but hard

    Needs a manual, that's all!
  • Spread the word

    This game rocks!
  • Great game!

    Although there are a few nits to be resolved the gameplay and atmosphere are great. Highly addictive. A challenging game on normal settings, in the tradition of Nethack.
  • Doesn't run

    I can't get the app to even start. I've tried rebooting and reinstalling it, but nothing seems to get this one to run. I'm out my $3.
  • Crashes on startup

    Please fix the issue.
  • Great Roguelike game

    I love the concept and the gameplay. Even on cakewalk it's still a good challenge. Read the website for directions and hints otherwise it's a lot of trial and error which could be frustrating for some. Thank you for a great game.
  • Could be very good with some work

    I bought this game on impulse, and though I don't regret it, I was disappointed in the game. There is a lot of depth and interesting mechanics in here, but they are wrapped up in a user interface that is difficult to work with. On one hand, having no UI chrome makes for a pretty clean screen, but on the other, the devs have omitted any sort of instructions for how to actually use the app. For instance, only now after looking at the comments did I learn that you could even access inventory for characters; I had no idea, because as far as I noticed anyway, there was no mention of this.

    My overall impression is that this is a flawed game that is one or two dev updates from being a solid game. I love the tactical combat, the variety of playable characters, even the graphics (although they are taken from public-domain tilesets, they are well-integrated and attractively done, especially in regard to line of sight and light levels), but ultimately, it's hard to recommend this game because of the UI issues. If you're inclined to like this sort of game, I'd say either go ahead and buy to support development and struggle through the UI, or watch this for an update and see if the UI concerns have been addressed.

    (As a side note, my version also crashed on first launch, as mentioned by other reviewers, but rebooting the device fixed that and it hasn't crashed since.)

  • Love roguelikes

    Not a fan of the control system at this time, but the author seems to be in the process of making it more mobile friendly. Worthy of support.
  • Crashes...

    I would love to start playing this, but I can't get past the main menu. I want to rate this higher, but I won't until this is fixed. Please hurry!
  • Bad want my $3.20 back

    I have an IPOD touch 4 gen and this game still crashes constantly. Game looks like it might be fun but all I've ever seen is the title screen.
