It’s damn near impossible to get anywhere ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-03, version 3.3.8* This game is the best game I’ve ever played on a phone. I love everything about it. Thank you for making such a fun,interesting, and entertaining game. Keep up the great work please. I personally am here for every bit of it! ### 5/5 — Epic *2026-08-02, version 3.3.8* So hard. Love it. ### 2/5 — Bad update *2026-08-01, version 3.3.8* The new update must be vibe coded because nothing works. ### 2/5 — Make it a little harder *2026-07-30, version 3.3.8* Maybe you could make it a little harder? I’ve only been killed 3 times on the first two levels it’s just too easy ### 5/5 — GOTY 10 years running *2026-07-30, version 3.3.8* Seriously, I’ve played this game for years. It’s, hands down, the best mobile game I’ve ever played. ### 5/5 — Only phone game I keep coming back to over the years *2026-07-30, version 3.3.8* My favorite game in the entire world ### 5/5 — Just like the old days! *2026-07-28, version 3.3.8* Great game ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-27, version 3.3.8* Heck yeah!! ### 5/5 — Fun and hard *2026-07-26, version 3.3.8* For a completely free game this is a 10/10. It’s not easy to win and requires it and luck ### 4/5 — Good game lack of info *2026-07-25, version 3.3.8* Theres practically any songle information abput the game in general in some stiff will be awesome to have it ### 5/5 — Best Dungeon Crawler Ever *2026-07-20, version 3.3.8* Absolutely the best dungeon crawler I’ve ever played. Randomly generated dungeons, tons of tricks to learn, so much strategy, and it’s still being updated. Give it a try and you won’t be disappointed ### 5/5 — The best RPG game on the App Store *2026-07-20, version 3.3.8* This game is an absolute blast, and you can tell it’s a passion project from the devs. You fight through the dungeons and though it is the similar level layout each time, every run feels different. My only complaint is the difficulty lol, sometimes the ring feels a little tough on ya in later stages. ### 5/5 — Need more *2026-07-19, version 3.3.8* This game is unlike others. With a perfect mixture of rpg and turn based mechanics the dev has made a game I’ve played for years. We need more playable characters. Or we need a pixel dungeon 2, the amount of stuff you can with this game is unthinkable I personally would love to see more content to play. more playable/unlockable characters or a number 2 ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-16, version 3.3.8* 🍾🍾 ### 5/5 — Most love put from a dev *2026-07-08, version 3.3.8* Have been playing this game on/off for the past 10 years. Mostly on long flights, every time I’ve played there’s been a new update that keeps the game fresh ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fire level a dumb and a bad design *2026-07-27, version 3.3.8* Nothing like the original fires levels just meant to keep you from actually having fun no one wants to play the floor is lava when carrying valuable loot dude please fix. ### 1/5 — Es absolute cine *2026-07-24, version 3.3.8* Este juego lo commence a jugar en un LG que tenía está gratis en ese entonces y sinceramente ahora que trabajo y lo puedo pagar o, vale totalmente la pena una obra de arte 10/10 y I love Mago con lanza ### 1/5 — The Tyranny of the Evil Eye: A Cancer on Fair Play! *2026-07-19, version 3.3.8* The "Evil Eye" direct damage mechanic is an absolute abomination! It is a blight upon the very soul of this game! To call it "difficult" is a lie; it is nothing more than a lazy, incompetent, and utterly disgraceful cheat! How dare the developers spit in the face of strategy like this?! This mechanic is a direct insult to every player who has ever spent hours refining their deck and mastering their tactics! What is the point of building a defense?! What is the point of managing the board?! The "Evil Eye" ignores it all! It bypasses every rule of fairness with a disgusting, brute-force laziness that makes me sick! This is not game design; this is a crime against balance! It is a broken, ungodly joke that rewards bad gameplay and punishes skill! It turns a calculated battle into a mindless numbers game! Why should we tolerate a mechanic that acts like a loaded gun pointed at our heads?! It creates a scenario of inevitable loss based on nothing but raw, unfair statistics! Enough is enough! There is zero honor in this mechanic! It is a coward’s tool! It must be neutered! It must be destroyed! To allow this monstrosity to exist is to admit that you do not care about your players! Remove this plague immediately or watch your game die a well-deserved death! Shame on you! ### 1/5 — No cloud save *2026-07-07, version 3.3.8* I’d put effort into it if it had cloud saves 🤷‍♂️ ### 1/5 — "Can I copy your homework?" *2026-06-15, version 3.3.8* I've played many games with the same formula that are designed infinitely better than this. Can't believe I wasted 5$ on this. Joke's on me. If I had to describe this game in one sentence I'd say "A worse version of Rogue Fable 3" ### 1/5 — I hate this game so good *2026-03-19, version 3.3.7* When u get past the dwarven kind it gets super hard I give up ### 1/5 — Not fun, not funny, not worth money *2026-02-22, version 3.3.6* I understand why its so cheap, but they should pay you to download this garbage. Its ratings have got to be review bots bc there is no fun here. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Don’t even bother *2026-02-14, version 3.3.6* Absolute wage of time. Don’t even bother with it. Waste of £5 ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-02-14, version 3.3.6* You’ll spend a couple hours wading through floors until you come upon enemies that kill you in three hits. Can’t seem to run away quick enough. Every play through items change so you need to inspect them every time. Strength is hard to find. I wish instead of just picking skills you could also increase basic stats. It’s a grind for nothing. After you die, you restart. It’s permadeath with no real reason to keep playing other than surviving longer—whoooa (sarcasm). Big whoop. ### 1/5 — Poorly balanced *2026-01-31, version 3.3.4* I’ve been playing for the better half of a decade. The developer’s happy to add things, but has yet to make the game fun. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Been playing for years *2026-08-16, version 3.3.8* I have played and enjoyed this rogue-like rpg on an Android phone for 5+ years. I have just changed to an iPhone and this was one of the first apps I bought and installed. It is an excellent dungeon dive when you have a few minutes here or there… or if you have 30-40 minutes. The Dev adds updates and new content and seems to really care and want to make this an outstanding game. ### 5/5 — Perfection *2026-08-14, version 3.3.8* Probably the best dungeon crawl roguelike for iOS ### 5/5 — AMAZING GAME! *2026-08-14, version 3.3.8* Played this on both android and iPhone when it was just pixel dungeon, thanks for brining it back!! if you enjoy dungeon crawlers this game is too tier, always has been.! ### 5/5 — Never gets stale *2026-08-12, version 3.3.8* Each dungeon is a unique challenge, expect to die often. I am addicted to this game, it is hands down the best mobile game for those who enjoy roguelikes. ### 5/5 — Blast from the past *2026-08-08, version 3.3.8* This is just how they used to make them. Deep and not just focused on cheap graphic effects with no content. ### 5/5 — Great Dungeon Crawler *2026-08-07, version 3.3.8* I love this game! Was reading dungeon crawler Carl and wanted a game to scratch that itch. This one did it! ### 5/5 — Best offline game *2026-08-05, version 3.3.8* Hands down best game to play when the WiFi is out or airplane mode is on ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-08-03, version 3.3.8* ❤️ ### 5/5 — Great Roguelike *2026-08-03, version 3.3.8* This really scratched an itch that no other app scratches ### 5/5 — Great pass time *2026-08-03, version 3.3.8* Lots of different play styles you can do on different heroes and no run is ever the same. Love playing this anytime I can --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
