### 3/5 — Fun but hard to see

*2026-07-23*

I enjoy the concept and the bosses. It’s hard to see on the phone what’s going on and makes it hard to play strategically.

### 4/5 — I need Chinese please！

*2026-04-23, version 1.38.2*

I need chinese please

### 5/5 — .

*2026-04-06, version 1.38.2*

отличная игра, очень интересно, но пока что очень не хватает геймплея

### 5/5 — Premium is worth it

*2026-04-04, version 1.38.2*

I’ve sunk hours into this game over the years. The devs have kept adding content and improving the aesthetics. Really great indie roguelike, should be more popular.

### 5/5 — A Legend

*2026-03-28*

This game is so much fun and you just keep progressing.
And you can drop it and go back anytime where you left off.
My only warning is its addictive. Youre going to spend a lot of time on it!

### 5/5 — Me and my brother love this game!

*2026-03-22*

Please keep the updates coming, genuinely in love with Pocket Rogues. I have always wanted an exact mobile game like this and would even pay triple for it ngl.

Gameplay is really fun and the bosses are hard just the way i like it. Theres ways to cheese them which i don‘t use but my brother does so please patch traps doing so much dmg to them haha. 

Keep it coming development team seriously!

### 5/5 — Yep

*2026-03-15, version 1.38.1*

Good game. Like that it’s not pay to win.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-03-07, version 1.38.1*

Talk about bang for your buck! Endless dungeons, varied enemies, multiple classes, a robust selection of weapons/spells and combinations, secrets that will keep you finding new content constantly, and mechanics that not only make sense — they work! I was craving a Gauntlet style game and this has more than scratched the itch. You can lose yourself for hours in this game easily, and it’s still being updated.  Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Real RPG/dungeon crawler feeling game

*2026-01-29, version 1.38.1*

The free one was so good
2.99$ ain't nun for a lil game I can play anytime. Gonna be on the lookout for for more work from this developer

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-01-27, version 1.38.1*

Really just a great simple straightforward dungeon crawler. You can hop in for a quick run, or spend hours going through infinite floors. Roguelike elements are well implemented to provide a risk vs reward gameplay loop without ever feeling like you have to start over from scratch. Even when you lose you can still feel like you made meaningful progress.

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2026-01-27, version 1.38.1*

I truly love this game, the gameplay loop is amazing. The only thing I’d explain better is what ultimate includes as I’ve seen sooo many on forums asking just that. Thank you for an amazing game stay blessed

### 5/5 — More content !!!

*2026-01-13*

Best game I. The store I was lucky to find and buy it please more content & human enemies would be great a bit more gore 🤩

### 5/5 — Great game.

*2025-12-30*

Amazing game everything about it, however when you get to the endless dungeon I feel like it gets repetitive and unrewarding, this could be fixed with more bosses, also I hate missing the ritual sacrifices thingys maybe there could be an upgraded map for them? 🤌🏻
Deleted the game other week redownloaded it and lost all my progress lol fs 😵

### 5/5 — I really love this game

*2025-12-28*

I hope you guys make the co-op mode or online fight like pvp

### 1/5 — Bad save system

*2026-06-21, version 1.38.2*

Paid money for ultimate edition, money for gems, had over 30 skill points into each character and played for several days only to die once and lose all my progress. Lose all weapons and skills from every character Reloading the save didn’t bring anything back.

### 1/5 — Es bueno pero muchos bug

*2026-05-16, version 1.38.2*

Llevaba ya dias sin morir y me salgo del juego y vuelvo a entrar y me habia quitado todo mi progreso

### 1/5 — Problem with my HP regeneration rate

*2026-03-27*

I have a health spell that I cast that gives me or is supposed to give me three HP per second but it doesn’t. I only get 1.75 HP per second. I have tried everything I could including saving the game closing out the app opening it opening the game up. I’ve even tried going back to the guild i’ve tried everything I don’t have any negative effects that would be counting against my characters health point regeneration but every time I cast the spell it’s supposed to give me three HP per second but I only get 1.75 HP per second and my natural HP regeneration rate is .25 I don’t know what to do about this issue but it is causing me to die unnecessarily and I have spent well over $180 on an app purchases with this game and I feel extremely disappointed. I have put two years of playing time into this game.

### 1/5 — Полная фигня

*2026-03-13*

Разве нормально, когда ты фармишь броню и оружие легендарное, покупаешь крест на бессмертие. А в итоге когда загружаешь игру , почему-то оказываешься в лагере полностью голый , без навыков и всего . Нормальные у вас лаги и загрузки . И не умирал ,перед тем как выйти из игры , специально зачистил весь этаж . Спрашивается вопрос, зачем платил деньги и купил платную версию

### 1/5 — Начало с переходом из бесплатной версии

*2026-02-07, version 1.38.1*

Поиграл вроде все понравилось, предлагают всегда перейти на платную, оплатил, перешел. В итоге так и не получилось перенести аккаунт, бросил это дело, так как много времени потратил до + внёс деньги. Так себе переход оказался.
Итог: нет аккаунта, нет денег 👍

### 1/5 — Constant disappointment

*2026-02-02, version 1.38.1*

This is the second time that I have paused the game after saving it only to go back into the game and have everything in my inventory disappear. I don’t even close out the game or start another app and yet I continue to keep losing all my items I have spent countless hours collecting I’ve played this game over 100+ hours and spent more than $80 only to be constantly disappointed

### 1/5 — My honest review of the game. I hope the dev team for this app reads this. Constructive criticism.

*2025-09-10, version 1.38 Hotfix*

I actually would’ve given this a 5 star review before the last update. The new features are cool but in the name of balancing it made the game extremely difficult!!! 

It is nowhere near as enjoyable as it used to be, and I regret buying the paid version now. It used to be one of my favorite mobile games.

 I played with the archer class long enough to get to level 95 so I was pretty good with it. I died a few times. But it happens and I lost a lot of inventory that I had worked hard to level up and find and build the archer class to play the way I wanted more than once.

but it was alright. It was part of the game and I could always find new items and build a new set up a liked. Eventually I was able to get to floor 27 on the abandoned prison level, but since the update I’d be lucky if I got the floor 12. Introducing new features in the last day was cool, but it certainly did not do anything for balancing like it claimed to. 

The last update while introducing some new features that were cool. made the game a lot more difficult to the point where it’s not that fun to play anymore. Which is a shame because this game has a lot of potential, especially if it could implement a two player, dungeon, exploration, kind of system. And new dungeons to explore. That would’ve made the game more fun. But whatever was done for balancing literally made the game incredibly difficult. 

An update that would add new character classes to unlock. would’ve been better even.

 A nature warden class would be cool, some magic abilities, healing or wood based attacks like a Druid, maybe they have the ability to have more than one tamed pet at a time and buff for that. 

A tank class that only uses shields so like the exact opposite of the berserk class that they currently have. And they could add new shields that they can damage with.

 A paladin class would be cool that would function kind of like the warrior, but it would deal magic holy damage as well. Combining magic attacks with Melee sword attacks and shield usage maybe an option to heal yourself and characters allies/pets so it would function as a healer.

Something that they could add to the necromancer class would be being able to resurrect your allies and your pets because it’s pretty underpowered. It was underpowered before, but now even more than before with the current update.

 just simple suggestions that I just came up with.

There is a lot of potential for this game.

I would appreciate it if the game in the next update at the very least. would implement something like as a reward if you get to level 100 with a character class. if that character dies or leaves the dungeon going forward, they will not lose all of the equipped items or passive affect items that are in the inventory. That is something that would at least compensate for how much more difficult the game is now, and would make it more enjoyable and give people something to work towards on the character classes.

It would also be nice if they could redo whatever balancing that was done that made the game so much more insanely difficult to the point that it’s not as fun as it used to be. I don’t mind a challenge in a game, but the amount of difficulty that it increased combined with the fact that you do not get to keep your equipped items if you die that you work really hard to build and customize your character class a certain way just made the game incredibly unenjoyable.

If that happens, I’d be happy to switch my review back to a five star. Because like I said used to really enjoy this game in my leisure time, and it would’ve been a five star. it’s just the last update combined with that you lose your equip items every time you die. The new difficulty of the game made the game very unenjoyable for me.

The game is a good game and it has potential just the balancing is so off. If you don’t like dark souls games because of the insane difficulty, you probably (currently) will not enjoy this to much at the moment. you won’t get far in the dungeons and level's and you won’t be able to build your character class to the way you want as far as equipment goes and customize it because you’ll lose everything each time you die, which will happen often. 

But I would not completely right the game off altogether; because it has potential and they keep adding stuff it’s just right now it’s not fun and very difficult.

### 1/5 — Worst Game on Appstore

*2025-09-08, version 1.38 Hotfix*

For the amount you spend to play the premium version, there should be 10x more areas to explore. UI is subpar, map gets in the way of dashing even when minimized. Drop rates of decent gear is horrible. Virtually unplayable since you are constantly in the same dungeon over and over.

### 1/5 — Разраб

*2025-07-02*

Разраб, прикрепи контакт рабочий, поддержки 0… Зашел в игру а на персе шмота нет, не умирал и играл регулярно

### 1/5 — Please fix the glitch!

*2025-05-02, version 1.37.4*

Third edit: yep happened again. Log into the game and I’m right where I left off but with none of my gear that I grinded for and spend hundreds of thousands of gems. I’m officially done with this game and it has been deleted. If I could give it 0 stars I would.

 Second edit: 4 times now. This time it got stuck on the loading screen. I exited out, rebooted and I was right were I left off but had none of my items.  Does anyone else have this happen to them? Extremely frustrating. Grinding for days and then you log in and you have nothing!!!

I paid for this ultimate version, I’ve paid for gems. 2 times now I go to load my saved progress and I’m where I left off but with none of my gear! It took me days and millions of gold and gems!

Edit: 3 times. 3 times now this has happened

### 5/5 — Well worth the price

*2026-08-13, version 1.38.3*

I got this game 6 years ago and man what a steal it was! It’s received a myriad of updates in the time that I’ve owned it and has been incredibly fun every time I hop into a run. Also found out the game is on steam so I had to pick it up there as well. Thank you for your continued work on this fantastic game!

### 5/5 — Great game

### 5/5 — well

*2026-06-29, version 1.38.2*

The game is very good, but can it support simplified Chinese?

### 5/5 — Eu amei

*2026-06-24*

O jogo é muito bom e ao passar do tempo percebi algumas melhorias 

1 
Ao selecionar uma habilidade para entrar nas masmorras na fase de jogos ( portal para entrar nas catacumbas)  tenha como escolher dificuldade como : normal ( normal ) , veterano ( mediana ) e pesadelo ( difícil ) 

2
Quero que tenha outra tela de masmorras como um segundo ato 

3 
Quero que tenha como criar fase para treinar ou jogar com os amigos 

4
Ao jogar a raide em grupo quero que tenha como jogar até 10 pessoas

E é só isso se fizerem isso vou agradecer muito

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2026-05-18, version 1.38.2*

You couldn’t ask for a better mobile game. Balances between too complicated and featureless perfectly. Everything about Pocket Rogues is engaging. I couldn’t help myself but spend a little bit of IRL money to speed up the pace, but still there’s so much more that can only be unlocked by dungeoneering. 

Devs if you’re reading this, thank you. More please

### 5/5 — The game is awesome

*2026-05-17*

I Love this game!!!!

### 5/5 — Finally, a game with a real options menu!

*2026-05-17*

Dear Dev - THANK YOU for putting this game on iOS with a real options menu. I booted it up and my first impression was a wildly distorted virtual stick. Went to the options to see if there was a way to fix it, and to my surprise there was a PC-grade options menu with comprehensive graphics, video, and controls menus. Got it running pixel perfect on my M1 iPad, plus the controls are easy to make comfy and there’s even an FPS monitor! My one request is a UI/font scale option - at high resolutions the health bar and menus are a little too small.

### 5/5 — I found a bag

*2026-04-21, version 1.38.2*

The game is just super, but I found a bug today. Apparently, in the presence of a "fodder parking lot" building, when leaving the locations like the "monk's cell", money is written off from the balance, and not their replenishment. Writes off about 800 coins.
Игра просто супер, но нашел сегодня баг. Видимо при наличии постройки «стоянка фуражиров» при выходе из локаций на подобии «келья монаха» происходит списание денег из баланса, а не их пополнение. Списывает около 800 монет
