About

Rogue Matrix

Features
Read full description

Swipe. Calculate. Survive. Navigate a shifting 4x4 numbers grid where every single move is a tactical chess match. How long can you outsmart the matrix? One grid. Four colours. Infinite calculated risks. Rogue Matrix is a minimalist turn-based dungeon crawler, stripped down to its absolute essence. There are no complex menus, no fluff, and no loading screens-just you, a 4x4 grid, and a brutal mathematical puzzle where survival depends entirely on your next swipe.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rogue Matrix at none against Pi's 6. Rogue Matrix also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). Pi's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
