## What is RogueJack?

Explore endless dungeons, discover monsters and beat them all in a game of 21. Collect weapons, defenses and the carcasses of your enemies while playing a fresh and interesting take on Blackjack.

RogueJack is a blend of old school adventuring that utilizes Blackjack (or 21) as its battle system. As you level your character, new rules come into play—like multiple cards to choose from and chances those cards will will be face up or face down.

Each monster in the dungeon has its own play style, when they hit, when they stop and if they keep their hole card hidden. Also, rogues will discover endless combinations of items, buffs, skills and attributes that will play out in unique and interesting ways.

Brought to you by Ponywolf, the studio behind the Apple Game of the Day, Knights of the Card Table. This game is easy to learn, hard to master and has countless hours of old school dungeoning in your pocket.

### 2/5 — Why can’t I choose a character?

*2026-08-13, version 1.8*

It’s a good game in theory but in practice it’s like 15mins max of content

### 2/5 — Stopped working

*2026-08-08, version 1.7.1*

Arrows stopped working all of a sudden

### 3/5 — Forces you to open App Store reviews constantly

*2026-08-07, version 1.7.1*

### 4/5 — Chad

*2026-07-15, version 1.7.1*

Such

### 5/5 — Yes

*2026-07-03, version 1.5.1*

I like games like Texas 
Hold’em and blackjack so yes I love the exploration part the only part I don’t like is how much water I get

### 3/5 — It’s fun before the slog starts

*2026-06-15, version 1.5.0*

The premise is fine, but eventually it gets very repetitive. Leveling up being a slog when a kill is worth 2 points and advancement is 1500 at level 8. No new weapons or items are introduced. Graphics are bad even by 8 bit standards. Worth a few hours of play.
