Ads crashing, falling, or freezing on iPhone now aswell

(Update 07/09/26: Tried the game on a friends newer iPhone with a two part ad that wouldn’t move on to the next ad without freezing.)

The whole reason I got a newer device was because this game almost never worked on my oldAndroid tablet device. It used to work on my old device but then it stopped. Now on my newer device there are predictable and repeatable crashes.. AND NOW ads keep crashing (It doesn’t crash the game it just crashes the ad)/falling. On the same producible ads by the way. (Heres an example of inconsistency: 4 ads in a row for “Rouge Max”(how appropriate) hewing tobacco. First one was a double ad, worked flawless. Second ad was the same one but after clicking skip, it crashed the ad. Third was the tobacco ad but by itself, click close at the end and got my reward.Fourth and final ad was the double again, and like the second time, clicked skip to next ad and it crashed the ad). Freezing on certain predictable ads as well, freezing so I can’t exit the ad without killing the game manually. Do I need to get ANOTHER new NEW device! I’d get the ad skip but it’s so so expensive compared to pretty much any other game I played. Actually it IS more expensive than any game I’ve played, WHEN IT’S ON SALE! Been playing this game since almost halfway through its first year, if I didn’t enjoy the story so much I’d be long gone. I remain for Elly.

오랜만에 제대로 된 게임 발견

이 게임 저 게임 찾다가 발견했는데, 뭔가 스타일은 요즘 양산형 게임 처럼보였는데, 하다보니 짜임세가 있더라고요. 알고보니 제작사가 일본이였네요. 역시 대충대충하지 않아👍 요즘엔 죄다 양산형에 과금유도에만 몰두한 게임이 많아서 이런 게임 찾기가 힘들었는데요. 단순 플레이 뿐만 아니라 수집, 이야기 거리 등 다양하게 즐길 수 있는 게임입니다.

*단, 환생하며 반복 플레이하는 시스템은 국내 게임 유저들에게 호불호가 갈릴 수 있을 것 같네요. 저는 너무 좋지만요.

Fun

I have beaten the game and it really like it.

UPDATE

Keeps saying to update to 3.12.1 but all it does is redirect me to the App Store and there’s no update available. Love this game so I’m still giving it 5 stars. Please fix.

Where is update??

App says update is available, but when you click to update there’s no update available?? 6-13-26

FAQ

What is Rogue with the Dead: Idle RPG?

It's an original roguelike RPG where you command and power up troops on an endless, looping journey. The core mechanic is that what kills you makes you stronger, allowing you to progress further with each attempt.

How does the roguelike mechanic work in this game?

When you are defeated, you lose all your soldiers, money, and items, except for artifacts. You then have to start over, but the artifacts you collected make you stronger for the next run, embodying the roguelite principle of becoming stronger with each restart.

What are the main ways to power up my troops?

You can earn coins by defeating monsters and completing quests to strengthen your troops. Additionally, collecting artifacts provides permanent buffs, and you can gather ingredients to cook meals that enhance your soldiers' powers.

Can I play this game without constant attention?

Yes, the game is designed with idle mechanics in mind. Most of the gameplay can be played while idling, with soldiers fighting automatically. You can choose to wait and watch or join the battle yourself, but no annoying controls are required for core progression.

Is this game free to play?

The game is free to download and play, but it does feature in-app purchases and advertisements. These can be used to acquire items, enhance gameplay, or speed up progression.
