## What is Roborogue?

Roborogue is a Roguelike game.
The player's goal is to control Robo and reach the deepest level of a randomly-generated dungeon.

• Random Dungeon
The dungeon's layout is randomly generated, with the placement of items and enemies changing every time.
Explore each floor to find the stairs, and descend to proceed to the next floor.

• Turn-based combat system
Each time a player takes an action such as movement or attacking, enemies will also take one action.
Until the player acts, the enemies will not act either.

• Permadeath
It is game over when the Robo the player controls is destroyed.
When you get a game over, all the items and money you have will be lost.
The player will have to create a new Robo and begin the adventure again from the starting point.

• Autosave Feature
The game data is automatically saved when the game is terminated.
However, if you terminate the game while a turn is in progress, it will be treated as a game over, please be sure to always wait until the turn has ended before terminating the game.

### 5/5 — Masterpiece

*2016-06-23*

Instant classic. A new type of game from one of the best app developers ever. The glitches are annoying but they are getting worked out. Yes, the game is REALLY expensive (free version is perfectly fine but makes you wait between deaths) but noprops has been giving their games away for free for years so cheers to them and thank you for an incredible game.

### 5/5 — Great Accessible roguelike with it's own eccentric charm

*2016-06-11*

There seems to be a major problem with the game crashing when closing and loosing all progress which urgently needs fixing. However it's a new release from a small developer and if this was addressed it would be a fine game. The 5 star rating is for encouragement.

### 5/5 — Roguelike!

*2016-06-11*

This is a cool game, very similar to other roguelike dungeon crawlers but your character is a robot. Would love to see robot enhancements/customization. Different colors, body part style etc. and you guys don't seriously expect people to pay 16.99 to remove ads do you?
