### 3/5 — Update please!

*2024-08-08, version 1.2.10*

Good game but it really needs to be updated for modern devices. Please give us full screen!

### 3/5 — A few issues

*2024-03-30, version 1.2.10*

My personal opinion: 4.8 rating is far too generous for this game. Good game, certain times you’re left with far too little in your arsenal to beat the game on hard difficulty. Not because it’s hard, but because 95% of the time, you don’t have many choices in tackling certain obstacles. 

My other concern is the amount of content the game has to offer is just too little. The civilisation builder mode has nothing to offer, building serves no purpose whatsoever. The upgrade system enables you to have more upgrades, but that is really about it. 

Overall, it is average.

### 3/5 — Bueno

*2020-01-16, version 1.2.10*

El juego es bastante bueno pero no está adaptado para pantallas grandes de iphone y la sensación jugable es un poco incómoda por este motivo. Además no está en español aunque no es impedimento para disfrutar del juego. Es desafiante y adictivo pero creo que está lejos de ser un port decente.

### 4/5 — Great, but be careful

*2019-11-01, version 1.2.10*

I’d highly suggest a confirmation box when starting a new game, when a save is present; lost all of my progress with one misclick.

### 4/5 — Chinese please

*2017-11-18, version 1.2.10*

Please

### 5/5 — So much fun.

*2017-09-19, version 1.2.10*

Started it on Savage per the suggestion of a review I read and I've had so much fun. Just the right amount of luck. I love the presentation too, funny and gorgeous to look at, something sorely missing from any other roguelike.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2017-08-24, version 1.2.10*

I'd pay for more content if you added a second story

### 5/5 — Good

*2017-04-16, version 1.2.10*

Pretty good

### 5/5 — Very addictive roguelike!

*2017-03-15, version 1.2.10*

If you've never tried one or your a veteran, I think you'll enjoy this a lot! Well worth the price of admission.

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-01-07, version 1.2.10*

Awesome rogue-like with progression elements. Tons of replay value!

### 4/5 — Great but short :(

*2017-01-03, version 1.2.10*

Wonderful game. Definitely I recommend this game for all rogue crawlers. Would give five stars if it had more levels/quests and equipment. Becomes repetitive towards endgame.

### 5/5 — Fun & great art

*2016-12-06, version 1.2.10*

Very colorful art and a fun game that I keep coming back to. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Exceptional game!!!!!!!!!!!

*2016-11-25, version 1.2.10*

Obviously the developers put lots of love into this game and it shows through the great art, funny story, and fun gameplay! I also like how cute everything is.

Controller support is a plus (however I found touch controls were more intuitive), even allowing players to edit what each button does. Small bug that doesn't affect playability where LT and RT button labels are mixed up.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2016-11-24, version 1.2.10*

I didn't buy it for a while because it looked too cute but it's a really fun twist on rogue likes

### 5/5 — Awesome and not a battery drainer

*2016-11-17, version 1.2.10*

This is a great rogue-like. There are permanent perks and weapons you can buy that last between levels and buffs and events of strategic advantage that can only be found in shrines at each level. The levels are procedurally generated, so in theory you could play indefinitely. To me, it was the right mix of replayability with progress toward an endgame. There is a little bump in difficulty around level 4 and again at the final level, level 10, but overall it was very accessible on normal difficulty. The six different classes are unique enough that I went through the whole game with each. Sometimes the levels were just a bit longer than I find ideal for a mobile game, but that is a more personal issue. But it is not a battery drainer!

### 1/5 — I want my money back

*2019-07-01, version 1.2.10*

This is not fun. I do not like that your skill levels restart. The archer needs different skills. All In all bad game.  AND I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!! Oh and the add is better then the game.

### 1/5 — Excellent Concept, Terrible Execution

*2018-03-03, version 1.2.10*

The first 60% of this game is a beautifully stylistic roguelite RPG with an interesting set of classes and abilities, a strange but intriguing storyline, and a punishing but fair level of difficulty which requires you to make your moves very precisely. I loved it.

Then the bizarro portals came.

The last 40% of the game is an RNGfest where strategic planning goes out the window and you just have to pray to RNGesus that multiple portals don’t end up getting placed close together and drown you in an endless flood of bizarro enemies. You’re forced to restart levels over and over again until the procedural-generation finally doesn’t screw you, and then for a brief, wonderful moment you’re back to playing the game you loved. Then you move to the next floor and it’s another coin flip.

I’d love to know how this quirky story ends, but it’s not worth wading through the RNG chaos of the last couple levels. The really baffling thing is that the first half of the game has spider nests, but the devs (intelligently) put restrictions on them to prevent them from completely flooding a floor with spiders. Then they threw out all those restrictions for the bizarro portals.

### 1/5 — Garbage game, don't bother with this one

*2017-09-15, version 1.2.10*

Garbage enemies, garbage loot system, garbage world building function. Can't believe I wasted 99 cents on this...

### 1/5 — Lackluster and redundant gameplay

*2017-05-26, version 1.2.10*

I stopped after a few hours. This game didn't hook me and the gameplay seemed very repetitive but without a sense of reward. Levels did not feel unique. If I had to choose again , I would not have bought this game.

### 1/5 — Быстро надоела

*2016-04-29, version 1.2.10*

Фигня. Цена ей 15₽

### 1/5 — ทำไมโหลดช้ามาก

*2015-09-30, version 1.2.8*

ซื้อมาแล้วยังไม่ได้เล่นเลยโหลดช้ามากกกก ดาวเดียวพอโหลดเป็นชั่งโมงละ 

please check and fix download issue.
I try to download this app but it's very slow (1 hr. 20%) (the others apps download speed are normal)

### 2/5 — So much fun until you reach Uppmas Point

*2019-11-20, version 1.2.10*

Once you reach Uppmas Point, the fun is behind you.

Unstoppable random enemies streaming out of dimensional doors. All the skill and strategy is for nothing. Total bummer.

### 2/5 — One of those impossibly frustrating games

*2016-10-04, version 1.2.10*

The type that makes you want to smash your phone against the wall.

Could a game be any more impossibly difficult than this?

### 2/5 — Fun game, crashes after hours of effort

*2016-01-03, version 1.2.10*

What the title said. Great game when it works. Spent two hours getting to the boss level of a dungeon only to have the app crash during the loading screen for the stage. As much as I enjoy playing the game, I am not going to continue putting time into something with fatal bugs.

### 2/5 — Дорогая и бессмысленная

*2015-12-02, version 1.2.10*

Ничему не учит :(

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-05-10, version 1.2.10*

This game is so good

### 5/5 — Bring on Caves of Qud to IOS

*2025-01-02, version 1.2.10*

Love sproggi. Can wait for the magnum opus to get the mobile treatment

### 5/5 — Cute and clever strategy

*2021-02-06, version 1.2.10*

An adorable dungeon crawler with perfectly balanced scaling challenge, you’ll never be bored and you’ll never be too frustrated.

### 5/5 — A true hidden gem

*2020-03-25, version 1.2.10*

I can’t believe this title doesn’t get more attention. A hilarious and utterly charming rogue-like with just the right level of difficulty. You die, but are desperate to try again.

Developers - you deserve so much recognition for this game. Thank you for making self-isolation during the coronavirus outbreak not nearly as unpleasant as it should be!

### 5/5 — เกมดีนะ

*2019-11-13, version 1.2.10*

เกมดีควรมีไว้ติดเครื่องครับ

### 5/5 — ซื้อสิครับ รออะไร 555

*2019-11-10, version 1.2.10*

Roguelike rpg สนุก น่ารัก ตะลุยดันเจี้ยนมันๆ เอาไป 5 ดาว

### 5/5 — It's spelled ROGUELIKE

*2019-07-03, version 1.2.10*

That aside, wonderful game.  Tough starting out but playing with bought power-ups in easier dungeons becomes enjoyable.  Big grind factor, take it as you will.  Characters only level in each dungeon and reset at each new one, so gear becomes key.  You have to buy items in town once to permanently unlock - I made a mistake thinking they were unlocked in town gratis - so don't jump back into new dungeons without buying what you can!

### 5/5 — Brilliant.

*2018-01-23, version 1.2.10*

Still keep coming back to this. Awesome game.

### 5/5 — Eccellente

*2017-12-27, version 1.2.10*

Grazioso rogue che si rivela migliore di tanti altri.Accessibile e vario,numerose classi sbloccabili per scenari compatti e di buona difficoltà.Decisamente tra i migliori del genere.

### 5/5 — Best mobile Roguelike, period

*2017-09-22, version 1.2.10*

Despite being adapted from a pc version, Sproggiwood feels absolutely perfect on mobile. Never crashes, doesn't drain battery or run my phone hot, and is both charming and challenging. 

I've been playing for a week now and all I can say is that it's the best roguelike I've played. I love it
