## What is Oubliette?

Oubliette is the classic multiplayer dungeon fantasy role playing game, finally available on the iPhone/iPod Touch.  Build a party of fighters, priests, mages and thieves to run deep into the dungeon.  Test your courage and skill against groups of orcs, trolls, vampires and dragons.

Earning its reputation as the thinking man's dungeon game, Oubliette blends the thrill of mortal combat with the sublime challenges of strategy, planning and adaptation.  Rather than testing your reaction speed and nerves, like a first person shooter, Oubliette challenges the player to do careful strategic planning as well as make tactical decisions in the heat of battle.

Each player (character) in the game is created from one of eight player races, which vary in attributes such as strength, intelligence, dexterity and durability.  Elves are highly intelligent and (potentially) immortal, Orcs are strong with short life spans, Dwarves are strong with high wisdom, Kobolds are quite weak in most areas but advance more quickly.

Depending on these attributes, each player will be qualified to join a limited number of player classes (occupations).  More balanced players will have more choices, including Hirebrand (fighter), Mage, Priest and Thief.  Less commonly, players may be qualified for a highly selective class with special skills such as Ranger, Sage, Paladin, Samurai or Ninja.

Unlike games which focus on a single player against multiple opponents, Oubliette allows a party of up to 10 players with complementary skills to face the various types of monsters found in the dungeon.  There are more than 160 different monsters, and to deal with them, more than 150 different pieces of equipment, which may be enchanted with special properties or skills.

Oubliette is challenging, but forgiving.  New players commonly have their parties wiped out by an unfamiliar group of monsters.  In fact, your party can meet up to 3 monster groups at the same time!  Use the Temporal Chamber to save a Temporal Portal before dangerous trips.  If things turn out badly, use the Temporal Chamber to turn back the clock and try again.  The trapeze is every bit as thrilling, but safer, with a net below.

If you are up to the challenge, Oubliette is free to download and play.  Explore the easier levels of the dungeon to build your party and expertise.  And then, when you are ready, feel the power of the game on the deeper levels.  Onward to Glory!

### 5/5 — Oubliette fan for over 40 years now.

*2026-05-31, version 2.3*

My favorite dungeon crawler type game of all time. Started playing the original computer version of it back in the early 80s when I was a little kid. Love that this version of it is almost identical.

### 5/5 — Thank you so much!

*2024-10-21, version 2.3*

I was a student at University of Illinois back when this was new. How very cool that it has been saved and is still available!
Is it still possible to buy more temporal gems?

### 5/5 — A profound act of love

*2022-06-25, version 2.3*

This is a largely faithful remake of the 1977 PLATO computer game Oubliette which is largely responsible for inspiring the Wizardry Series and, by extension the entire CRPG genre.

### 1/5 — Way too confusing.

*2021-04-12, version 2.3*

This is an awful mobile game it is just a mess. I just don't feel like the UI is easy to use. Maybe this just isn't the game for me.

### 4/5 — it's fine I just have one problem

*2018-08-11, version 2.3*

this game seems a little accessible to blind people because it is working for me do you only problem is it won't let me just keep fighting every time I choose one character I'll go and do a double blow it'll make me go to the character again that is that take me a little that take me a little bit of time to get back to the character list and find which character I want so whyAnd I have also been doing the repeat but it should let me fight untill I want another character App for star because I like it it is very very fun and addictive

### 5/5 — Very Playable

*2018-06-08, version 2.3*

Lots of diversity, plenty of fun.  The temporal gems are a great way to save your players status.  Definitely need to save using the temporal gems because the lower levels are tough and even the strongest, wisest characters can be killed rapidly

### 5/5 — Blind samurai warriors

*2017-01-22, version 2.3*

I was so glad when I found this game I love RPGs this game is awesome The The in app purchases   are worth it this game is like solara but better. For those you wondering you can sell items for cash in the store also when a character opens a chest the item just goes into your inventory so for instance if you have a ninja or thief open the chest and you get plate mail it goes into your inventory then if you have a hirebrand or paladin tap manage ep equipment  tap the plate mail then tap equip

### 5/5 — The best

*2016-06-24, version 2.3*

This game rocks

### 2/5 — Has potential but too many boot out bugs

*2015-05-28, version 2.3*

Potential exists - game crashes way too often - I get the vague mapping concept but does it add or detract to playability? I say it detracts. No discernible way for party members to swap gear in dungeon? Truly silly, whoever opens chest gets the gear inside and can not give to a fellow player who could use it for benefit of party? ( can exchange gear once dungeon exited is a small cancellation)- would have given 1 star but it has potential

### 5/5 — Wizの元ネタらしいです

*2014-10-26, version 2.2*

調べたところこのゲーム(の原版)に影響を受けてWizが作られたそうです。Wizとほぼ同じ感覚でプレイ出来ますが、戦闘システムやPT構成のセオリーなどが大分異なり新鮮で面白いです。

前列は2人、ロングレンジ武器は無さそうです。その代わり豊富な魔法アイテムを撃ちまくる事で後列も攻撃に参加出来ます。攻撃手段に乏しいPriestはこの方法でレベルを稼ぐ事になるでしょう。ちなみに装備可能なアイテムでなければ使用も出来ません。また、このゲームでは全ての状態異常は即死扱いになるようです。

戦闘はリアルタイム性があり、時間あたりの行動回数がDEXの高さに比例します。そのため特に近接職はSTRよりDEXを重視した方が良いでしょう。

宿屋は一利用につき一週間経過し、しかも複数回泊まらないと全快しない事があるので寿命管理が結構シビアです。PT全員で泊まるため、馬小屋戦法をする場合は酒場で魔法職だけに編成しなおしてから泊まる事になります。本作のエルフは寿命が無いので、そういう意味でも魔法職に向いています。

本作に転職はありません。上級職を狙うにはPeasantといういわゆる無職を育成し、後から職に就く形となります。
