Dungeon time stops when you do: smite monsters cleverly, not by mashing buttons! With over 350 different types of items to be found, you will keep finding novel solutions to battling over 170 different types of monsters that you will face on your journey! You have time to think, but this is no puzzler - you will have to fight your adrenaline and use your sword or staff as much as your inventory. The procedurally-generated dungeon and vast array of possible items gives immense replay value. Some games you'll find a good weapon early, other times you'll rely on wands or potions, or some combination. Sometimes in sheer desperation you'll read a random unidentified scroll... will it be a scroll of fire that incinerates your clothes? Will it be a blessed scroll of teleportation for the ultimate escape? If you have ever played NetHack, DCSS, etc, this game will show you a whole new form of the roguelike genre. When you get good enough to survive to 300 feet, you will be asked to upgrade your character to access the full dungeon. This is a one-off purchase for each type of character (for example, the sorcerer and sorceress are a single type - Evil Mages). The whole game can be played with any character - you only need to purchase your favourite character(s). This can also be seen/purchased in advance under Options/Store. Upgraded to a new device or iOS version? Just use the "Recover" button in Options/Store to get your character classes back.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: WazHack at monthly against The Accursed Crown's every 5 months. WazHack also leads on ratings volume (115 vs 5) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. WazHack sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and The Accursed Crown sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for WazHack against 4.4 for The Accursed Crown. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WazHack has 115 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of WazHack's written reviews are positive against 75% of The Accursed Crown's.
WazHack ships an update monthly, The Accursed Crown every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
