Cardinal Quest

About this game

Guide a fighter, a wizard, or a thief deep into a hostile dungeon to wrest the town of Hallemot from the clutches of the tyrannical minotaur Asterion, in this streamlined roguelike. Engaging, thought-provoking gameplay that's different every time, but fast enough to take in bite-sized chunks.

Tap or hold to move; move into enemies to engage them in melee, or tap spells to cast them. Tap your character's portrait to view your current stats, and even though character death is permanent, it's also half the fun!

Ratings and reviews

I've been looking for rogues on here for a while and this is by no means a bad offer. The display and the complexity are about spot on for a smartphone app - playing Stone Soup or 'Hack on here is just fiddly. It uses cooldowns instead of mana costs but other than that it's pretty derivative, it has a pretty fast pace and bitmaps are toward the nicer end for the genre, with lighting effects and a few animations thrown in. The character auto-sells useless equipment which is a nice little touch.

Yet another roguelike I want to play so bad. However it is an annoying workout to move around. No sense or reason why you can't just add a virtual pad and button. Won't be playing.

Crashes to desktop, doesn't work. Wanted to play Cardinal Quest 2, but the access required by Dev is too intrusive and unethical.
