## Brogue Description
Countless adventurers before you have descended this torch-lit staircase, seeking the promised riches below. As you reach the bottom and step into the wide cavern, the doors behind you seal with a powerful magic...

Welcome to the Dungeons of Doom!

Brogue is a single-player strategy game set in the halls of a mysterious and randomly-generated dungeon. The objective is simple enough -- retrieve the fabled Amulet of Yendor from the 26th level -- but the dungeon is riddled with danger. Horrifying creatures and devious, trap-ridden terrain await. Yet it is also riddled with weapons, potions, and artifacts of forgotten power. Survival demands strength and cunning in equal measure as you descend, making the most of what the dungeon gives you. You will make sacrifices, narrow escapes, and maybe even some friends along the way -- but will you be one of the lucky few to return alive?"

This app offers:
Brogue Classic - Brian Walker's original vision and where it all started.
Brogue CE - A community effort that fixes bugs and crashes and focuses on QoL.
Brogue SE - A new variant by yours truly with original items, monsters, and mechanics

"...on the iPad, Brogue is an even more incredible feat than it is on the Mac: there aren’t a lot of roguelikes that can jump from a keyboard to a touch-based interface without coming off worse for wear. It’s every bit as good on the iPad as it is on the Mac." - Cult of Mac

"[...] it manages to make use of its ASCII visuals to create some truly impressive-looking environments [...] it’s high fantasy to the core; filled with kobolds, goblins, wands, spell scrolls, and more." - 148Apps

"It's a bit weird and clunky, but yeah, it's still Brogue" - Roguelike Radio

## Brogue Reviews in United States

### ***** "Excellent Port"
I’ve been developing a traditional roguelike for several years now, and Brogue has always been my biggest source of inspiration. The changes with SE have really made the game that much better as well.

I have some questions and suggestions for you:

Can the dpad be moved? I see an option to restore its default position but can’t figure out how to move it.

When throwing an item for the first time, the cursor snaps to the nearest target, and seems to require a second tap on the target to confirm the action. It can be tricky to successfully tap the same tile twice, especially on iPhone. Can a confirm button be added near the cancel button for this instead?

When navigating menus, can the dpad be used to scroll through the menu (mostly for inventory navigation). Center tap could be used to select or confirm the current cursor position. 

Any plans to include the rapid variants of brogue?

Finally, a suggestion from my own experience. I’ve found that using short swipe gestures for movement control is vastly more comfortable and accurate than dpad or tap to move on smaller screens. ‘Baba Is You’ also uses this control scheme for tile based movement. 

Also, the app page links to a 404 GitHub page. Otherwise I would add these as suggestions if they are being accepted.

### ***** "I like this game, but"
The text is too hard to read; I hope you can support larger font size adjustments. Thank you very much.
-- Endel.E, 2026-07-09

### ***** "Best Roguelike Ever"
This is the best entry level into the classic roguelike genre. Huge props to the maintainer of this app version for being faithful to the original while providing touch screen support and a fun new variant!

### ***** "Brogue, one of the elderitch gods of terminal descends upon IOS"
This is a great port of an amazing game. Unfortunately, the iOS d-pad disappears whenever I fall down a level
-- NerdySage, 2020-04-07

### ***** "Most In-depth roguelike I’ve played"
I’m not gonna say anything anyone else hasn’t already said, so I won’t. My only complaint is that the “suspend game” feature currently doesn’t work, so fixing that would pretty much make the game perfect in my mind.
