Ratings and Reviews
Brilliant atmosphere.
More games like this please. Kicks sand in the face of dungeon hunter and eternity warriors. Real spectrummy feel (knight world etc) with roguelike and rpg elements. So cool!
Brilliant Update
I thought I'd add to my original review. The game now has a much better interface and in game instructions! It's a shame the earlier versions of the game were found lacking, as in it's current incarnation this is one of the best games on the market and becoming better with every update!
Below is my original review with some minor alterations.
Troubleshooting
1. The game does work on iPhone 4. I had the startup crash problem, but a quick phone reset and it was solved :)
2. Instructions are available on the games website and now in game.
Review:
A good rogue game, with all the RPG elements you would expect. It does take a while to learn and get used to the controls, but the game is 100% working.
+With randomly generated worlds no 2 games are the same.
+Lighting system makes sneaking and exploring fun.
+Customisable parties mean players can enjoy a variety of different battle tactics
-Although I did find a settlement, interactions appear to be limited.
-Controls can be fiddley on iPhone, zoom in option would be great.
Overall: a work in progress that is still enjoyable to play. Buy if you like the idea and want to support the developer.
Very Good
An excellent rougelike which has clearly had some love and attention lavished on it. Lots of variety makes it an interesting game. Love the random world generator. Not just a case of bashing everything to death. Real thought and tactics are needed to survive. Recommended purchase to support the developer who seems to be continually working on it.
Suggested improvements....
Still needs more help for new players. I worked it out but it took effort which some players may not have the time or patience to do. Even the web based instructions seem a little out of date and are not IOS specific.
Keep adding game content to add to the variety even more.
And it works just fine on my ipad 2.
