Cavern is a dungeon crawler in the vein of genre classics like Rogue and Nethack - but with original game world not based on any existing roguelike. Each level is randomly generated so no two games are the same.
----
Cavern was full of ancient treasure which surface people dug up to keep their high standards of living. Caves were inhabited by hostile creatures of the nether but Mystery Object of the surface kept the evil weak with it's power. Somehow, creatures of the deep managed to steal the Mystery Object and took it to the deepest levels of the Cavern. Now You, the Hero, must retrieve it before it's powers are used against the Surface!

Is Cavern legit?
🤔 The Cavern app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
The game is fun... but it continually slows down and finally crashes. After that, it is usually required to restart the iphone to play again. The slow down is progressive and is totally unacceptable after ten minutes of playing or less. It is clear that there is a memory leak somewhere. In addition, I lost my save game at least one time. Because of this, it is not possible to enjoy the game properly.
Let's hope all of this gets fixed in new versions.
Fun ……. but it’s got bugs still
Playing the game a few times and found that certain times, usually as I approach farther than half way into the dungeon my game fails to boot up and I have had to retire the game. Not sure what that’s about but it’s not that great after I spent money to buy it. lol
Basic roguelike
Decent roguelike made for the iPhone with its controls. There are better on the market, but this is well made and will keep your interest. Do hate the fact that you have to talk to king each time to start.
Warning you can not save your game!
Tread lightly my friend. Although not listed as a rogue game, you will die and will need to start all over with a new character. It may take several hits by an enemy and there is a warning to use a healing g potion or eat before getting destroyed, but the warning comes to late.
I played with a wizard class - if an enemy gets too close they can wipe you out. Next was a warrior class- I got down to about level 6- could not avoid a gang of enemies and one shot from an enemy took me out. There is no save option. The game is without mercy. No starting with the same character or where you left off, just your character is placed In the hall of fame. A reminder of your wasted efforts!
Will not play again.
Save your frustration and your $2.00
Great game for the price.
I had a great time playing the game through, but it is tremendously easier to play the Mystic class, as it’s base damage is twice that of the other classes, along with the fact that it’s a raged attack. I’ll be trying the other two classes for a personal challenge, but I highly recommend a balancing fix.
Killed during training
…must have missed something, because in my first training bout, I did about 20 rounds of battle with a big, but it seemed to suffer no damage, although I was destroyed. …moving on.
Unexpectedly fun... and a bit buggy
I've found a "walk out of bounds" issue in the "cave shop" level... the area where the exit is located was also generated so far south that the south wall is completely missing, exposing the out of bounds area... oops! That said, still enjoying it, 500+ playthroughs in!
One of the best roguelikes on iOS
Dont pass it up. It rules
This game is GREAT! But I have just one or two gripes…
1.) I cannot zoom in and out :( I do not have the best vision and sometimes it’s a little difficult to see my own character.
2.) I am not sure what level i am on. I do not know if i am missing something or not but it would be cool if you can add a level count in the corner or something.
3.) game crashes after death.
Otherwise, A hidden gem in the store. This game is easy to get a hang of, easy to get lost in, and awesome pixel graphics! Keep up the amazing work :)
How to find secret rooms?
The game seems fun, but how do I find the secret rooms? There’s supposed to be a tell, but the only way I find them is by clicking in every single wall panel. It makes the game annoying.
