## NetHack Description
One of the deepest, richest gameplay found in any game on any platform, NetHack is a cult classic since its release in 1987, and has since spawned many descendants (including Diablo).  gandreas software now presents this classic for the iPhone/iPod Touch:

- Playable in either "ASCII" mode, or graphics mode (just rotate the device to switch)
- Obscure keyboard commands replaced with a simple taps for movement, or a handy command picker.
- Commands can also be activated by a unique gesture based command - want to search for a secret door? Swipe across the top of the play area (all the gestures are shown on the command picker for easy reference)
- Graphics can be zoomed in/out via pinch
- Completely faithful NetHack experience (all the levels, monsters, potions, scrolls, etc...)
- iPhone UI - standard scrolling lists, pickers, etc...
- Multiple tiles sets, from the classic to the sublime
- Never see a keyboard unless you are doing something like typing in a name!

Can you retrieve the Amulet of Yendor and return to the surface?

## NetHack Reviews in United States

### ***** "Great for local play, learned to love the UI"
My first ascension was obtained using this app. Nowadays I prefer playing online on a public server like NAO or hardfought. I wish developer could bolt his UI on top of telnet or SSH somehow. Current telnet nethack on a phone ‘works’ but isn’t playable, IMO.  Great job Gandreas!

### ***** "Probably My Favorite Game but...."
I wish it would get updated more , i like playing the original nethack
more than anything else , i just love jumping into the game making a quick character then fighting a dungeon finding cool stuff and then dying.
-- Sergant0, 2017-07-28

### *---- "Doesn't work on iOS 10"
Please fix. Doesn't work on iOS 10. Can't get past first screen after it loads.
-- Loudmushroom!, 2017-06-30

### *---- "Update needed"
I used to love this game but it fell so behind on updates any update starting with iPhone 5 and later will not run the game. Crashes everytime
-- System200789, 2016-12-29

### *---- "I wish it worked"
As a fan of the game since I was a kid, I was excited I could play in my phone. Alas it does not function on iOS 10.1.1. A big white box covers the title page and all toolbar buttons do nothing.
-- slwf, 2016-12-08

### *---- "Doesn't even work on iPhone 6"
All I get is a small blank window popping up and nothing else. At least it's free...
-- BibleDude108, 2016-10-07

### *---- "Does not work on iOS 9"
Do not buy!
-- Zip, 2016-08-11

### *---- "Broken"
I live the pc version and was thrilled to see it available for my iPhone!  When I downloaded it however, I could not get past the initial black screen with copywrite statement.  "Options", "Commands" and "Help" buttons visible at bottom of screen, but they do nothing when touched.

Help!!
-- Glwt76, 2016-07-22

### **--- "Plz fix freezing in character customization"
I feel like this game has amazing potential but when I get to the character menu it freezes plz fix this this software required iOS 2.2 or later why won't it work on iOS 9
-- Smittyurgermanjansen, 2016-07-12

### **--- "Please help!!"
I've heard nothing except good things from my friends about this game. So I said, "Hey, I think I'll give it a shot." Went to the App Store, and, voila, it's free! So one click and a fingerprint later, it's downloaded. I launch the game, and it's a black screen that says iPhone NetHack 2008 (or something along those lines). Nothing happens. Occasionally, I'd get it to a character creation screen, it seems, and then it'd freeze there. What's the issue? Why can't I play? I have an iPhone 6, why is this miniature game crashing on me? Please help me. And thank you.
