Not that much depth, but that’s okay… I am not looking for a thousand-hour game on my phone, and there is plenty here for the roguelike fan: lots of powers, nifty items, plenty of nasty monsters to use both on. Unfortunately, I just recalled into the middle of a giant zoo on 1150 ft, which causes the game to crash whenever I try to load it. Quite frustrating. ### 5/5 — Finnaly castle of the winds style game *2022-12-30, version 1.1.9* For og games who remember castle of the winds 1 and 2 this game style is the same it’s updated runs well and you don’t have to move 1 square at a time Untill you have enemy’s near moving 2 Thanks for bringing back child hood memory’s for me ### 1/5 — Impossible to finish *2022-12-13, version 1.1.9* Crashes on the lower levels and impossible to defeat the final boss ### 2/5 — No virtual pad and buttons option. *2021-05-06, version 1.1.9* Unplayable unless I can use a controller or virtual pad. The tap to move is SO tedious and takes multiple tries to get where I want. I tried making an exception because I love the graphics but I am just going to pass or wait and see for controller support. ### 4/5 — Updated review: better after leveling up *2020-12-23, version 1.1.9* Poor balance at early levels, gets better once you figure out how to make an overpowered build. Buying the full version and will update the review later. Another feature: low battery usage. ### 4/5 — So well done but crashes! *2020-07-17, version 1.1.9* Such a great RPG! So much depth to character development, you'd think it was taken from D&D. Story is light, but then the focus is really on dungeon exploration. And holy cow, the levels get HUGE as you get deeper. And quite challenging too. There's quite a learning curve at first, but once you get past that, it's pretty smooth going. The main problem though is the higher I've gotten in level (or deeper in the dungeon), the more often it crashes. I'm lvl 24 (mage) and just under 1000 ft, and inevitably the game crashes within 20-45 min of playing I'd say. Always while I'm in the middle of a battle. I'm assuming it's a memory leak, but 🤷‍♂️. I really hope these get fixed! I'm on an iPhone 11 Max pro with iOS 13.5.1. ### 4/5 — A true roguelike game. *2020-06-15, version 1.1.9* I am sick of roguelike being used incorrectly everywhere. This game actually is one though. May not be catchy to the dumb people with short attention spans. But for lovers of tabletop D&D style gaming and those who played Larn, Hack, NetHack, Moria, Angband and of course Rogue this is a good implementation. It retains the fun strategies as well as the frustrations of the originals and brings back many memories of whole nights lost keeping my character alive and delving deep. Only thing missing is the list of your dead heroes. Not based on the best of these games but its a solid example of the era. ### 5/5 — An awesome game *2020-04-13, version 1.1.9* I’ve been playing this app for about a year now, maybe a little longer? Can’t remember but either way it’s a D&D inspired dungeon diver in a 2-d retro setting. Worth the download ### 4/5 — Great game but fix level 2 of the crypt *2020-02-21, version 1.1.9* Fix the issue that everyone has been complaining about on the second floor because it really does take away from the game and makes this less fun to play ## Frequently asked questions about Seed of Evil ### What kind of game is Seed of Evil?

It features deep character customization and strategic combat. ### Can I customize my character in Seed of Evil? Yes, you can train your character to perform impressive feats of valor. You can choose to be a Warrior, Mage, or a mixture of both, selecting skills and powers to create powerful combinations. You can also reset your skills to try out new builds. ### How does combat work in Seed of Evil? Combat is turn-based, allowing you to take your time to think of the best move. You have many combat options, especially as you gain levels, and careful consideration of how to use your powers makes a significant difference. ### Is there permadeath in Seed of Evil? You can choose to play either with or without permadeath. This option allows players to tailor the game's difficulty and risk to their preference. ### What are the in-app purchases for? The app has in-app purchases, which likely offer ways to enhance gameplay, acquire items, or speed up progression, though specific details are not provided in the description. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.1.9 — 2019-09-10 * Bug fixes * removed random immunities and resistances from champions and bosses * Drazul has less health now ### 1.1.8 — 2018-08-25 bug fixes ### 1.1.7 — 2018-08-07 * Leaderboard scores are now updated when the game is saved rather than just when the player dies or wins. * bug fixes ### 1.1.6 — 2018-07-27 * contingency plan should work correctly now * bug fixes ### 1.1.5 — 2018-07-16 * Auras and reactions/interrupts that are passive in nature can now execute even if a creature is confused, stunned, paralyzed or frightened. Not all auras are affected since not all of them are completely passive. For example, Cloak of Blades requires the character to swing a weapon in order to do the attacks, so confused, stunned, paralyzed or frightened characters will still be unable to execute cloak of blades attacks. Cloak of Fear is simply a magical aura which has effects on enemies who are in it regardless of whether the character with the aura is able to take actions. You will be able to tell if a power can be used while suffering from these conditions because it will say "Can be used regardless of conditions" in the description. Of course this change will apply to some monster powers as well. * bug fixes ## Apps similar to Seed of Evil | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Saga RPG: First Blade](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/saga-rpg-first-blade/id689059795) | 4.8 (74) | Free | Games | | [Vigil RPG](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/vigil-rpg/id911657250) | 4.4 (31) | Free | Games | | [Dungeon Adventure: Epic Ed.](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dungeon-adventure-epic-ed/id1579666417) | 3.5 (4) | Free | Games | | [Saga RPG II: Evolution](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/saga-rpg-ii-evolution/id710033980) | 4.7 (75) | Free | Games | | [The Cursed Castle - Online RPG](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/the-cursed-castle-online-rpg/id1668579644) | 4.6 (5) | Free | Games | | [Heroes and Merchants](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/heroes-and-merchants/id1442866548) | 4.5 (33) | Free | Games | ## Related topics [evil otto](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/evil-otto) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
