Ratings and reviews

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.

The best mobile game I anticipate ever playing. Low-grade phones can play it, its 100% free, and its the closest thing to actual d&d I've ever played. I can see the learning curve turning some people off, but for me it was a lot of fun to pick up and learn, and its a lot more user friendly than original Nethack while only sacrificing a small amount of its complexity. Bravo. Bravo. I immediately installed the PC version.

Great game, lots of love and variety in the game, be warned that there is a penalty less revival. Also for anyone who is ever stuck, charm absolutely breaks the game. Make any class that can have that spell(like a bard) re-roll til you start with it and the game is basically a cake walk. Free mercenaries. Most of the strongest enemies can't resist it and there are often prisons with very strong enemies inside.
