Rogue Touch

I purchased this before realizing that more or less the same product was available free in the app store. In my opinion, selling a roguelike here that is 20+ years old and free for use and distribution on multiple other systems is just wrong and goes against the spirit of the whole genre.

This is very true to the original Rogue, and nicely updated to use graphics and the touch interface. The developer is active on the game forum, and 1.1 will include a number of minor bug fixes and improvements to the game play. For anyone who has played Rogue, this is a 5 star. If you have never played any Rogue-like game, be prepared for a challenge. The amulet of Yendor is deep in the Dungeons of Doom, and there are many ways to perish in the attempt...

The game now crashes whenever I try to start a new game. This didn’t use to happen so I suspect it’s related to an OS API change. Not sure but it’s a shame because I enjoy the game and now can’t play it.

Great version of Rogue. I grew up playing the Mac version and had been playing it on various 512 Mac simulators in the internet... but they would inevitably crash. This app almost never crashes, and when it does, it just brings you either right back to where you were, or to the beginning of the level. It's similar to the Mac version, except with all the added Feudal Japan era weapons, hero characters, and super weapons. Only thing I miss is the "far seeing" potion from the Mac game. I probably play this game everyday. No adds, like ever, always works, loads quick, can play it silently or listening to music, I really can't say enough good things about it. It's the perfect "I need to kill 7 minutes" game, or you can spend the whole day playing it.

The controls barely work, the profile screen for the character comes up about every third tap. There’s no sound, music or animation for an attack, so you have to read microscopic text (on a phone) to even tell that it’s happening, and half the time you sort of walk through the opponent without even knowing that was a battle. I bailed very quickly on this one. I feel like somebody just reached in my pocket and took $2.99.

I love rogue likes and just purchase this game. Only to find that it is not optimized for iPads. The resolution is set up for phones and looks terrible, and plays terrible in my opinion on an iPad

This is probably one of my favorite games. Grew up playing the old Mac version of Rogue and RogueTouch is the best modern version I’ve found. No bugs to speak of, no adds, great gameplay, and a support website with all the info you would ever need. Also lots of fun extras like secret characters and new weapons. Has leaderboards but I find they don’t always update. No biggy though. If you liked playing the old Macintosh version of rogue you’re going to love this.

I love this game. Been playing on and off for over a year. Great adaptation!

I loved Rogue when it was an ASCII game on a single-color monitor. This update preserves the very best of original Rogue with appropriately cool and simple graphics, more sophistication to items, monsters, environment, and strategy. Best of both worlds! Thank you for creating Rogue Touch! This is exactly the game I wanted for my phone!

I am now 17 years old and I used to play this game when I was 6 years old and have been playing consistently since then. It has remained in my heart forever and I love it.
