Ratings and reviews

Great game. Almost perfect for what it is. I like that monsters are classed by color and represented by letters of the alphabet for 26 total. Clever. Would be nice if the game allowed the player to quickly autowalk to visible places with a single tap, since backtracking from deadends is frequent enough to be tedious. Could use some more variety, but for a traditional rogue game on mobile, it's really solid.

It's a really fun game, but it does have a big flaw that is excessively harsh on new players. There are rooms that spawn high-level monsters but hold a bunch of loot. This is understandable if it wasn't for the fact that a new player cannot know these are high level monsters, and as they think it is like every other monster they're fighting, they walk up and get one-shot. This is EXTREMELY brutal, and could likely use some balance changes.

I am having a lot of fun with this game. I love the enemies and the items and the interface, it is perfect in that regard. The completely optional (but very helpful) ads are a great touch and are much appreciated. One critique I would give is that sometimes at low floors, much lower than what is told by the game, high-level enemies like Dragons, Javberwocks, or TekeTeke appear. These can cut runs short and I am confused over their inclusion.
