You are helping "@" using your trusty mobile device, by directing her around the dungeon, fighting monsters, picking up treasure and finding the stairs to the next level down. The further down you go the more monsters, larger the level and general abilities to loose more health. Its a challenge! Give directions by using the arrow keys, hold down on the arrow key to keep moving in that direction. Doors in a room are marked with different colours in the wall, stairs to the next level can always be reached, there is only one set of stairs per level. If you're stuck then pinch/drag the map around to look for doors you've not been through. Monsters will chase you in a room (if they can "see you", some are bit short sighted, some can't move at all), and attack when they are next to you if you've not moved away. You can attack a monster by moving towards it, as you kill monsters you'll get XP/Gold improvements. All monsters are red, not all rooms will have monsters In some rooms you'll find Treasure that you can move over to collect, if there is space in your backpack they will be placed there. To use an item in the backpack just tap it. But watch out for "Bad Treasure". Happy hunting

Time is running out.

As their lives fell apart, the machine kept working. Navigate the computer’s archive. Link its obscure texts and uncover its creators’ secrets. Communicate with the man behind the speaker to figure out your role in this mystery. Destroy the book at the core of the machine — before it’s too late.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: SF Rogue at Free against TR's $6.99. SF Rogue also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). TR's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 77 months) and ratings volume (37 vs 2). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
