Better on Switch.
If they would simply change it so you can press an attack button instead of constantly having to tap enemies it would easily be 5 stars. I hate tap to move but there is swipe to compromise. Unfortunately unless you play Switch you can’t press any button to attack which makes it so annoying to play.
Worth it
After owning this game and continually having it on my phone and pad for 6 years. Other games (and phones actually ) have come and gone but this game has stood the test of time. Why buy it?
1. it’s as funny as it is entertaining
2. It’s only 2$ and asks for no more… which is kinda insane
3. You can play it anywhere with no delay and put it down without sweating it
4. It’s sprite animated (like ol’ legend of Zelda) which I’m a sucker for
5. No hidden cost, your not tracked, setup to buy more, and there’s NO ADS! In a tech world that’s built to constantly ‘take’ its so nice to go to a game without a corporate agenda
6. You don’t need to be online
7. It actually pretty challenging with different levels, characters, and multiple games with ever changing levels (FOR 2$!)
But you know what makes this game really REALLY great? After 7years of playing it, this month my 6yr came up to me and asked to put it on HIS iPad and I can put it on his iPad without any worry. That makes this game really uniquely amazing and I wish you made more.
This isn’t a review as much as it’s a heart felt ‘thank you’ from me and mine.

Cannot Recommend Enough!
Absolutely brilliant old school feeling RPG. People have complained about difficulty but where’s the fun in completing everything first time. Really enjoying this game.
Trivial
Spent thirty minutes tapping my way through a few levels only to find the only thing that can kill me is the skull sign I accidentally tapped at the beginning. Even bosses mindlessly walk over traps and kill themselves.
Well worth the $2
It’s a fun, fast paced dungeon crawler on the cheap, what more could you ask for? I would say that the controls/ layout is a bit sloppier than they are on the switch, but this version came first and it’s like $3-5 cheaper here than on the eshop so why would you buy it over this version?
Recommended Rogue.
One of the better rogue games available. Just recently updated as of this post. Nothing bad to say about the game. If you like rogue games and don't mind dying you will like this.
Brilliant rogue style dungeon game
I love this game, and it has alot of replayability with different difficulties, and classes. I have spent days enjoying this delightful gem.
Love the simplicity of it
This game reminds me a lot of Fatal Labyrinth on the Sega Genesis. I love the simplicity of this rogue-like.
Would be good if...
Nice underlying game, but could be great with some tweaks.
Most significant is the permadeath thing; I can't see the logic of it, and it's at odds with the game mechanic of building up the character and gathering inventory. It's especially annoying when the death is due to something accidental (like casting a spell on a distant square when you meant in fact to run to it, away from the boss that thereby gets the extra attack in that kills you).
Other than that, it'd be good if the path taken when running to distant squares were a bit smarter (eg, avoiding spikes instead of always going directly over them). Also, the inventory logic could be more consistent; as it is, some items "stack" when multiple versions are held, though others do not, and it's not apparent why.

Bland
A soulless, worse version of Pixel Dungeon. But still it gets two stars because there's a low bar for dungeon crawlers on the iPhone, and if you like such games, this checks the boxes and has competent programming and at least meh graphics. I only wish it had some heart; as it stands, it feels like it was made by someone outside the roguelike community without an artistic vision who saw an opportunity to monetize the genre.

Hard, frustrating
This is a great game BUT simply too hard. I'm playing it on easy and still get killed "out of the blue" by a boss encounter or accidental move or some other dumb reason... In the end it serves only to massively frustrate, and badly lets down an otherwise great game.
Here's my latest game: played for half an hour, carefully making progress and having fun. Went down to the next level, landed directly in the boss room, with no stairs back up for whatever reason and was 1-shot killed trying to run away. That's not fun and not fair, so I'm dropping my score to 1 star.
Please fix this and I'll revise my score. Nerf the bosses and / or add a save system which would at least allow me to restart from my save or the current floor. Why wipe the save when the player dies? Combined with the cheap deaths as described above this just serves to make the game frustrating and unfair. And I am playing on "Easy" FFS!
UPDATE: I've now beat the game a couple of times, on easy, playing as the archer. Despite how unfair and at times annoying I find it, I've got to give it 4 stars.
Please rebalance the boss difficulty still though.

Love it
Though I'm not very good at the game and I have not been able to beat it once and I get pretty angry after getting one shot an hour into a run its very fun game and I just bought the expansion and I have very high expectations. Great game
Great game!
This is a very fun game! I like the inventory management. And the map is good to have too. I've had it for awhile and just recently started playing again so I purchased the new dungeon. Worth looking at for anyone who likes these kind of games.
Add endless mode plz!!!!
This will be the best roguelike game in the App Store if you add endless mode!!!!
Great game!!!
I am new to the Rogue style games but I love this!!! Great level of difficulty while still playable.
Wish there wasn't permadeath
Oh the frustration of dying in one hit from a boss after spending 3 hours leveling up... Great game still.
Great
A fun, great dungeon game, just wish when we die that we don't have to start from the beginning and that the bosses on the third floor doesn't have a one-hit kill.
Absolute gem but could do with some polish
This is a fantastic little roguelike rpg with a lot of value for the low price and simplistic design. It's let down a bit by the fact it doesn't always save your game which can be very frustrating hence the deducted star.
As another review mentioned, some life steal wouldn't go a miss just to balance out otherwise impossible boss fights.

사람들이 모르는 재밌는게임
스팀에서 첨 즐겼고 모바일버잔 알고 하고 있습니다. 정말 재밌는데 사람들은 잘 모르는거 같아요. 당신이 만약 이 이뷰를 본다면 일단 다운받으세요. 참고로 턴제?와 비슷합니다. 하지만 재미는 있습니다. 놀랍지 않나요?
Great Dungeon Crawler
Honestly this is one of the better rogue like dungeon crawlers. I love the massive quantity of loot you can find there is a huge variety including jewels and ore you can sell for gold( my advice spend all your gold on health potions, you will find all the best weapons and armor outside of the shop) there are random boss encounters and quests which are great for leveling up since you get a ton of xp for completing them try to complete all quests before you go to the next floor. I hope the developer is still planning a new content update cause I'm very excited for it.
