About

Labyrinth Rogue

Features
Read full description

A proper old-school roguelike you can play anywhere - no internet required. You are the "@". Descend into a labyrinth that is newly generated every run, fight what lives there, gather what you can carry, and push for the depths. If you fall, that is the end of the run - start again from the top. That tension is the whole point. [FEATURES] - Fully offline. Install it once and play anywhere, anytime - Defeat enemies to level up; enchant your weapon and armor to grow stronger - A 12-slot pack. Drink, read, throw, equip, identify - every item is a decision - Beware cursed gear: put it on and you may not be able to take it off - Hunger matters. Run out of food and your HP drains away - Blunder into a Monster House and a whole room of enemies wakes up at once - Thumb-friendly D-pad controls, built for phones - Autosave. Stop any time and pick up exactly where you left off [TWO DUNGEONS] - Normal Dungeon: ten floors down to the legendary Amulet. A run you can finish in one sitting. - 99-Floor Dungeon (paid): a long descent toward B99. Rings with permanent effects, plus rare weapons and armor, appear only here. Play it in a spare minute or settle in for a long run - however you like.
