Simple, stylish. Intriguing

That's my triumvirate of adjectives on this game. It's just pleasant and a bit addictive. Enjoy!
Best Roguelike for iOS
vrognar
This game is easily the one I've spent the most time playing on my phone. It's fairly simplistic, yet the itemization and need to use potions and consumables and tactical positioning still require enough strategy to make things tricky, especially following a little twist thrown in once you actually do make it to the bottom level. Furthermore, the inclusion of set pieces and boss fights means that you're never gearing up in the blind: you WILL face them again if you lose. On top of that, the ability to travel back to the surface at will, to sell or stash things, gives this that extra level of Diablo flavor that so many roguelikes are missing, making gear and food actual commodities, instead of junk to just litter the dungeon floor with. Overall, I'd say Cavern wins out handily over much flashier contenders like Fargoal (which is too Playskool) and even Nethack (too complex and random to be fun on a bus). Ease of play and clarity of focus make this the best roguelike on the App Store.
Wonderful rogue-like Dungeon crawler
Ilexa
This is a very decent and not too hard dungeon crawler for the iPad. This makes it ideal for casual dungeon crawling, which you can come back to anytime. What makes this game shine though and stand out from all the rest is its rogue-like character. When you start a new game everything is fixed (once it comes out) although wares will change now and then as you gain levels. The game features permadeath. Once you die you have to start a new game and then everything is randomized, and you don't find or get the same gear or potions. This makes the game infinitely replay able. Well worth the three bucks. Highly addictive.
Buggy but interesting and fun.

There was a major frustrating bug that made me start over when I was on the path to winning, but the Dev responded personally. Later I beat the game, but it took several hours, and there is good replay ability, so I consider it a good buy considering a movie ticket is $10. A solid game in a genre I like.
Great roguelike for IOS!

Great game for IOS. It is challenging because death is final--there are no do-overs. Being one potion short can mean the end of your adventurer's life! I have lost MANY adventurers in the caverns, but enjoyed every second of it. Oh, and I love the sound it makes when you kill a bug, quite satisfying!
Best iphone roguelike

Tried so many roguelikes and have always been disappointed. This one was finally worth it.
Challenging!

This is one of the roguelikes I have yet to beat. I was close though! Great game, though the floor with the fire ants is annoying...
It's ok

It's a fun game but it's in need of a major update. It crashes a lot and there are some movement/gameplay issues that need to be addressed. Also there isn't any clear plot or even loose story line. All in all though it's a decent rougelike.
