What's New in Roguelike Text RPG

1.4.0

September 2, 2026

- New: Every action in the depths is now settled by a dice roll you can watch, showing the number you rolled, everything your gear and condition add to it, and the total you needed - New: Recollection - a guardian now bars the way to each boss and asks what you remember of the depths you just crossed. Answer correctly and the memory comes with you, sharpening every attempt and carrying you through one mistake in the fight below - Improved: The odds shown on a choice are now the odds actually rolled against. Previously the displayed percentage and the real roll came from two different calculations, so depth difficulty and success-boosting relics had no effect at all - Improved: Relics that improve your chances, the growing danger of deeper floors, and your accumulated wounds all genuinely count toward every roll now - Improved: Scene descriptions and action choices are capped in length, so an ordinary encounter no longer arrives as a wall of text - Improved: Results are easier to read at a glance, with everything a turn earned gathered into a single row instead of a stack of separate panels - Improved: New sounds for rolling the dice, finding an item, equipping gear, and claiming a boss relic - Fixed: The coin sound now plays only when selling in a shop, instead of on nearly every encounter - Fixed: The relic sound now plays as you confirm your choice, rather than after the reveal has finished

User reviews

AI probability is unfair

As some of the other reviews have said the AI probability does seem to be broken. It does seem impossible to get past stage three of the dungeon with the first boss fight. Every decision that is made, including the ones that you type yourself, never seem to work. The boss battles are unfair and ridiculous to get past. I have only been able to get past the boss fight once and I barely had any health left. Luckily, my health was restored at the end but still I think it took me 18 tries to finally get past that one fight. And the AI does not seem to be very fair even when you type in your own option. Does not seem to really be reading the typed in option and considering what you want to do. If the problem can be fixed with AI and probability, then this game would be an awesome text based dungeon crawler game.

AI and probability broken

The game is a mess, progression past level 3 is nigh impossible, any chance at attacks made are statistical impossible favoring the enemy’s broken ai.
