A lot of different skill combos. ### 4/5 — Enjoyable rpg golf game *2020-09-02, version 45.8* Surprisingly fun action rpg where you roll your character like a mini putt golf game. Good depth and the rogue lite aspect keeps you replaying in an effort to get ahead. However I got a “don’t use time heat” warning today. I have no clue why. More importantly I don’t know what I’d gain. It’s not like there’s a timer to refill! Also, those damned spear and box traps spawn in sometimes purposely painful places that make me think it’s done purposely. Like a narrow corridor with 2 explosive boxes way too close to each other. Give it a try. ### 4/5 — Great RPG *2020-08-27, version 45.8* This is a great game with an amazing concept. Highly recommend trying it out. Please add more options to inventory like a comparison chart or stat chart to help out find better gear combos. Overall, excellent start 👍 ### 5/5 — What an absolute banger *2020-08-25* I love a good dungeon crawler. This is a good one. I have some critiques for the devs (if they are listening). The aiming is a little too sensitive. If I could lock in my direction and power separately it would be awesome. I found the equipment cards a little difficult to read, and I’m playing on an IPad. I think they could use organization, and maybe color distinctions between stats? Other than those points I’m really enjoying this. Good job! ### 5/5 — Refreshing *2020-08-24* Strategic turn based roguelike, with pinball mechanics. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-08-24, version 45.8* Never played anything like it! It’s great so far!! Would recommend making more classes in the future. Imagine multiplayer or some kind of pvp? This game has such great potential I excited to see what’s next. Overall a must try! Worth the download. ### 5/5 — Surprised *2020-08-23* At first game seemed a little clunky and outdated. But then, once I got used to the controls and system I enjoy this game a lot. Not a lot of pay to play and you can just relax and totally immerse yourself into the gameplay. Very well done with an amazing retro vibe! ### 5/5 — ads *2020-08-23* I'd like to pay for remove ads. Plz ### 4/5 — A good game, but definitely buggy. *2020-08-22* Okay, right off the bat a great game. Interesting mechanics, a fun grind, etc etc. But the game is quite a big buggy. On occasion when you hit a wall you just go right through it. This once happened during a boss fight, and I got locked in the starting room. The game also occasionally just stops responding. Either upon starting a new game or upon entering a new level/area the controls will just straight up go unresponsive. I can still open up some of the menus, but things like attacking, moving, selecting spells, etc etc just don’t respond, and you have to start the entire run over again, and if it happens again the next run I just have to restart the game. As well, the game has this horrible tendency to place unavoidable arrow-traps on your spawn location at the start of levels. I have died to this far too often, just barely pulling through a level during a high run, and then suddenly dying the second I get into the next level, at no fault of my own. At this point, it’s really more of an annoyance than a frustration though. Overall though, a good, fun little game. It doesn’t force you to pay to actually win, and has a pretty fair, easily obtainable premium currency. Definitely good for killing time. ### 5/5 — !!! *2020-08-22, version 45.8* Any plans too add more classes if not Please add more characters/classes for replay value ### 5/5 — Quick fun, but not too easy! *2020-08-21, version 44.2* Great gameplay, engaging and addictive. Can’t wait to keep playing ### 5/5 — Great game but... *2020-08-21* Needs a volume control setting I like to listen to music often when playing games can’t do that with this ### 4/5 — Pretty Fun *2020-08-20* Its alright as it is but the controls could use some fine tuning. There are times when you go right the arrow goes left and vice versa. Same with aiming up and down. It could also use with some new characters to play as. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tracking *2021-07-05* I don’t consent to your data tracking and thus have no option to play. Great job! ### 1/5 — Haphazard controls make otherwise cute game unplayable *2020-12-31* No matter how careful and accurate my movements, it always ends up flopping around like a sick fish. ### 1/5 — What? *2020-11-27* So they pay Apple a ton of money for a spot on game of the day and there’s no Episode 1 of the game? So we just skipped over the first episode? ### 1/5 — Bug ruins it *2020-08-27* Really great game but I ran into a bug that doesn’t allow me to move anymore. I deleted the game and redownloaded, started from scratch. Then ran into it again. Keeps happening in act 2. ### 1/5 — Forced ad mid run is not cool *2020-08-16, version 44.2* See title ### 2/5 — I’m sure it’s a great game but it’s not for me *2020-08-15, version 44.2* Sorry ### 2/5 — No tutorial, super buggy *2020-08-05, version 37* I clipped outside the first level. Also I had no idea what was going on the entire time. ### 3/5 — No Purchase Restoration... *2020-12-05* Fantastic game! One issue, I had this game downloaded and spent over $60 USD on gems for chests. After cleaning up my phone and deleting apps, I realized I had deleted this game on accident. When I downloaded the game again, it started my progress over at level 1, stage 1 with no option to restore previous purchases. If it weren’t for that, this game would receive 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Can do better *2020-09-06, version 46.9* I think you can do better. There are many spaces to progress. ### 3/5 — Needs tutorial *2020-08-23, version 45.8* I would give 5 stars and re install if it would give a tutorial, I don’t know how to play the game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Interesting idea befriend billiards + roguelite *2021-11-10, version 61.3* Very unusual and at first seems not very friendly. Unusual controls which I’m unsure of. Would be much more convenient to see where the character stops because otherwise it’s like Russian roulette 🙂 but maybe that was intended to simulate rogue like randomness . Anyway breathe of fresh air in the swamp of traditional rogue like games ### 5/5 — Best mobile game in my opinion *2021-11-04* Really good game overall ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2021-05-29* Best sling game since monster strike ### 5/5 — Very interesting game *2021-03-09* Never played a game like it so far. So to me it’s a fresh new take on dungeon crawlers with an interesting story which is told bit by bit at the start of each act/zone. The enemies are varied, have a few different attack patterns. There are bonus levels available. There are power up choices, levels, stat increases both in zones and on the home menu. Varied skills that aren’t locked to a class So far no pay to win. Great game all in all, worth checking out. Peace out. ### 5/5 — Fun and Easy *2020-11-27* Finished first map on easy. Fast and Easy progress with minimal ads so far. Recommend to try. ### 5/5 — Good game great fun with lots of potential *2020-09-27, version 50.3* Enjoying the game, bought the diamond and been playing for 3 days in a row. Please for future patch can we get more Character stat details like Life steal, recovery Back dmg total. And a must is inventory expansion upgrade please. Full after few x10 chest and I want to keep for different play style. Even if the upgrade cost some gem 1 more maybe a super rare drop stone to in-revert items please. Or pay with gem in shop ### 5/5 — Uniquely fun *2020-09-12* I haven’t been playing long and bugs or not I stand by my opinion that this is unique and very fun for what it is. Giving you credit for doing something different with the genre, which doesn’t get enough recognition in a myriad of titles with the same stuff over and over. Kudos keep innovating **Developer response:** Greeting. Player! Thank you for enjoying Darkest Rogue and your precious review! Have a lot of fun today with Darkest Rogue! ### 5/5 — Good but... *2020-09-06* So far it’s a pretty good game. Can be challenging but it’s fun to collect the gear. I put only 3 star because while gems are easy to collect in game without spending, it seems the only way to get epic and legendary gear is through the gem boxes. These are not necessary to beat the game but are very helpful. There is also no tutorial which was interesting. Also, once you equip a gear to a class, you cannot change which class that gear and be equipped to. I feel like there should be something that can be purchased to allow for gear to be used with different classes. There are minimal advertisements but they are still there. I had fun playing but I feel like the game is too short and needs more updates and content. ### 5/5 — Great, but could be improved *2020-09-01, version 45.8* Love the attack method! Would be better having skill trees to build. I’d totally pay a small amount to avoid ads. Would be nice to have a tutorial also. ### 5/5 — Noice *2020-08-29, version 45.8* It’s legit. It’s free but great quality and it’s fun --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
