Fun for about 10 minutes.
Seriously? It’s a repetitious click-fest. At least it was cheap.
An underrated classic
One of my favorites, which deserves a lot more attention!
Masterpiece of game design
I’m so happy this game is back on the app store. What’s more, they actually seem to have updated it from last time, adding little balance improvements and even a couple new enemies.
This is one of the best pick-up-and-play roguelikes of all time. Even though the rules are simple, the gameplay is incredibly dynamic. In the higher levels, you are forced to come up with a novel and unique strategy to tackle almost every single enemy. There is no “fluff” here like in-app purchases, leveling, or metaprogression beyond just upping the game’s difficulty. Only rock solid gameplay.
It’s very unique; its closest peer would probably be Into The Breach, but that game is vastly different and not really good for pick-up-and-play. Auro is much more accessible, and worth picking up even if you’re not that into the genre.
My only question is what’s with the icon?? It used to be a cooler icon of the main character, but now it’s just a portrait of one of the weird looking in-game adversaries with the transparency messed up. I get it though — I don’t even maintain my own iOS game, since nobody buys it… I’m just really glad this is back on the app store.

It’s baaaaack
Oh man one of my favorite single player games is back. Get it. It’s awesome.
Edit: more info about the game. It’s heavy on the strategy and planning and thinking multiple moves ahead. Most certainly play though the tutorial at least once. This game will challenge you consistently.
I hope you give this a chance and enjoy as much as I have. So happy to have it back on my phone.

Not a time-waster
I’ve grown to lose interest in most games because they feel like pointless checklists. Auro reminds me of what I love about my favorite game - Into The Breach (which I’d love to have on iOS). Enemy information is known to the player, you have a limited set of fun tactical abilities, and the consequences of your actions can be predicted & manipulated. The player is rewarded for putting thought into the game, and you aren’t surprised constantly with random events. I’m really glad that the developer decided to update the game, thank you!
