WOW

The best roguelike for iOS hands down. I heard about 9th dawn series but I’m so stuck on this one for now and haven’t tried it yet. I see people complaining about melee but fail to understand how these types of games work. Just give it a try you won’t be disappointed.

Solid Game

Solid game, simple controls, wish there was more explanations of what some effect meant or did.

Great little roguelike

It may not be Baldur’s Gate 3, but for a good game to whittle away some hours on a trip or something it’s perfect.

No d pad is my only complaint.

I hate tap to move but at least there is an action button. I love this game I just wish at the very least your character didn’t have to finish moving before you can tap again. Also I wish they had an endless mode because once you beat the game it’s not as fun to replay unless there are more challenges or something. Still 5 stars.

Great rogue-like

Great retro style rogue-like. I like the fact that the dungeon levels aren't all rectangular (which makes sense given the name). Also like coming across previous hero bodies to loot and find the hero's spirit fighting monsters for you.
One complaint is that followers will follow you back to town but not to other levels? The king gave me two followers, but because I'd teleported to town right before going down the stairs to the next level (which happened to be the last level), they were useless.
