Smart, Tough & Addictive Love Hoplite! Clever design with a steady difficulty curve. Occasional bug in the random level generator, where you or your spear are stranded if you run out of energy, but not a showstopper by any means. Free version is pretty much the complete game (with no ads or microtransactions), but happy to pay the premium for unlocking achievements and challenge mode.

Brilliant strategy games live on Too many of us old gamers are exhausted sifting through all the multiplayer & pay-to-win games, when all we want sometimes is a good old fashioned challenge. Hoplite gets it done! The complexity & replayability are astounding, considering how basic Hoplite might appear at first glance! After an hour of pure enjoyment, I purchased the premium upgrade as a thanks to to developers. The added unlockable skills greatly vary the replayability, & I can't suggest highly enough.

Short fun Returned the fleece on the second run. Required some thinking though, so its still cool. Love the mechanics! But i dont see the appeal of purchasing in order to unlock extra skills for making further descends viable. Everything past the fleece just seems to be arcade-style 'see how deep you can get', and that just seems pointless to me. Lacking content there, from my perspective.

Hoplite is my personal favorite in the store. It can be played forever, makes one think and yet it is relaxed. Very light-weight and remembers game progress: perfect for playing whenever and for however long. Completely ad-free. Offers tons of content for free and blows one's mind for a low-priced, single-time purchase. Well worth it! :)

My favourite game :D It's a great strategy game! The tutorial needs a tiny expansion though. An explanation about the combat sequence would make world of difference for new players. Most people that give a bad rating don't understand the game's combat mechanics and you need to get used to it. My tip to make things easier: turn on fat finger mode in the opinions menu.

This is an example of a single-player mobile strategy game executed perfectly. It combines simple mechanics in a way that creates complex and satisfying gameplay. Because it's a rogue-like you have to master the mechanics and carefully choose your moves to succeed, rather than just memorizing an optimal path. I tip my cap to the developer for managing to produce a procedurally generated strategy game that never feels unfair; every death felt like a mistake on my part rather than being the victim of an impossible situation. If you like Fire Emblem, FF Tactics, Shining Force, etc., then this game is a must-play.

Great game! But seriously, could further explain how attacks work? I go to an adjacent space to an enemy but i dont get to attack? Really frustrating.
Straight up Brilliant This game might be the most playtime I've ever gotten out of ~$3. The game is tactical, creative, and fun. The achievements are meaningful and give a sense of advancement. The challenges are tough. Every move counts. It's simple, and it's great. This game is everything that I wanted out of a mobile strategy game.
Simple pixel art aesthetics, simple rules with tons of depth, huge replayability, highly addicting, no randomness, never nagged for money..what more to ask? You never feel cheated in this game, every death is your own fault, learning how to not die is natural and progressive. Nice challenges and achievements. Really. A great game, highly recommended.
This game is perfect for training logic It will need 1 or 2 minutes to even make a single turn if you are deep enough. Very challenging. But I think the price for premium is too expensive?
Good retro game No annoying ads, and the game doesn't beg you to buy anything. It also reminds me of old games, where you restart your entire progress if you lose (no microtransactions to save/annoy you here).
Awesome strategy game. If you have to kill some time, this app is perfect. No pay to win and no random things. Just simple strategy. You can pay to get an extra game mode and more prayers which really is worth the money.
Perfect game, a well designed roguelike and it is well worth upgrading to the full game, but even if you dont there is plenty of fun to be had. No ads, no microtransactions and a really solid game. How it should be done. Probably the only game on the play store I would give 5 stars to.
Cool little game. Devilishly hard and will catch you off guard My only gripe is that it's sometimes hard to know what will happen between you, items (bombs, spears), and other entities (enemies) if you move to a certain square--the interactions or mechanics of things aren't always 100% clear. You do figure it out eventually, but I would appreciate an "encyclopedia" of mechanics/interactions that you could refer back to an any time. Other than that, this is a great game. Simple, creative, and challenging.
Good strategy game. You'll suckat first and die alot of times. But its the experience of the death that makes you a better player. All about positioning and strategizing. Not a hack n slash game. More on chess rpg kinda style
Good, short I got to the fleece on level 16 and then paid $3 to unlock more content. What I didn't realize was that this was pretty much it for the game. Pros: very solid mechanics, does a few things well rather than a lot poorly, portrait interface. Cons - once you get to the bottom of the dungeon, the only thing left is challenges which start to get old. At this point, the games limited mechanics turn from a strength into a weakness. Bottom line - solid game, download it, and consider the inapp purchase to supportDev
Loved it - well worth the price Brilliant, fun tactical game. No adds, and doesn't nag you to buy the paid version. This is how mobile games should be! The paid version is well worth the price. You get loads of challenges and achievements.
Amazing game. Very well designed, and we'll executed. Incredibly addictive. Only thing is I wish it had an unending mode, where you don't stop getting upgrades after level 15.
One of the best games on Android Simple to start, difficult to master. Rewards thinking and planning. Paid for version expands the game with challenges and skill unlocks - really worth paying for.
Fun but short The first 16 levels were challenging and fun, but once I beat them it wasn't that fun to replay them. So it's a fun game but didn't keep my attention for long.
Straight-forward roguish chesslike fun. Worth trying. Complete tutorial within 3 min, and get hooked afterwhile. This is problem-solving merged with the satisfaction of killing demons.
A minor bug If you switched apps while in the middle of a challenge, after some time you resume the game, you will lose access to your gifts. Things like wizard beam or leap slam would be most noticable.
Half rogue-lite, half puzzle, all fun! The full unlock provides tons of levels and challenges.
Not work properly on Xiaomi Redmi note 3 The letters are too big so sometimes it just runs off the display. Please fix
Truly cool game Free till floor 16, but, why would you go premium if you can be crowned and live your days in glory? Screw further fighting!
Quick & Fun Enough content to stave off monotony, and paced fast enough that you can (usually) finish within 10 minutes. I appreciate that.
Why tf would I throw a spear at melee range. I'd stab the pixel archer… its a six foot spear thats 9 feet of range, plenty to poke a wizards sac of spell components lol other than that, me likes
Fun, but Rather repetitive since as soon as you die you have to restart. Should put in saving or checkpoints every few levels
Hours of gameplay Rogue like and you can play without Internet access. It's worth much more than its price.
Great chess style game. Perfect phone game. I do believe some achievements, such as Demon Partisan, are practically, if not totally impossible. -1 star for that.
AwesomeSauce My favorite thing in a game app is good design and this one is tops -- I consider it the chess of Rogue-styled adventure. Had it for years and I still play frequently.
Like it Good role-playing game with Google Play Game Features including Google Cloud Sync and good presentation, too bad no immersive full screen. Exemplary permissions (none).
Great Been playing for a very long time almost daily. Simple yet excellent. Anyone knows of another turn based game similar to this that they recommend?
This game is amazing! As they say, it's easy to learn, heard to master, and a ton of achievements and challenges helps make the experience more varied. Gameplay is simple and very engaging. It's like a puzzle almost, which looks like an RPG
Great tactical game With the paid version you get tons of achievements and daily challenges. Definitely worth it!
Just Fantastic....!!! Simple graphics....easy to follow game play....but reallly challenging. The further you go the more difficult the game play and alter choices...really...reallly fun and addictive. Brilliant work...change nothing.
Hooked, again. No words to describe how much I enjoyed this game then and here I am back again after a long time. Kudos to the developer team, paid for the premium to show my support. Good job, keep it up.👍
Addiction Awesome game... First game I ever stuck money into but buy the upgrade and that's all
Best of old and new New strategy, great retro graphics, fun characters and cool weapon upgrades. Considering buying the premium version (which I have never done on an app before).
Perfect for short plays Can rip through a game in 5min if you're quick. Very fun and well made.
