Ratings and reviews

This is the game ive searched the last 18-24 months for on Playstore. It has a variety of classes to choose from, less than 100 mb, vast amounts of info on each of the classes strengths, weaknesses, and weapons. Also, if u want, one can make their own custom hero from the getgo, without having to complete or advance to a certain unattainable level. Plus, its pixel style graphics, which reminds me of the old school rpg/dungeon crawlers. Im very happy i finally decided to download this game.

Decent, but items should not by identified at death. Further, the big "Trade/Transfer" button on the Trade and Share dialogs imply that time has stopped, so the transfer will be done in a single turn. This is not the case: while that big dialog is covering your screen, you won't see the monster coming up behind you as you select and deselect items for the trade.

I've been fairly deep with roguelikes over the years and I never would have imagined that somebody could make a decent mobile port. Boy was I glad to be wrong. If you're patient enough to endure a bit of a learning curve (and observant enough to actually examine new monsters or items), you'll be carving through this modernized classic soon enough. This game is an absolute gem (and free!), definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of dungeon crawl RPGs or are curious about roguelikes.
