Ratings and reviews

This game is really good. It's not just a port of the original Nethack, but a proper variant that adds in tilesets, audio, UI and controls that work with not only a touch screen but also keyboard/mouse and more. Its availability on multiple platforms (even open-source code and web browser playable) and design makes it convenient; adding in custom characters is simple, and there are more custom tools too. The dev has actively added much new content and bugfixes to Pathos over the years.

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.
