Fun for casual play

I originally played Cavern not long after its initial release and was surprised to see it was still receiving updates by the developer. Overall the changes they made have made the game much more enjoyable since I last played. The game system is rather simple: four stats, three basic classes, and a small handful of weapons/spells, but I feel it’s clean enough for quick mobile play while interesting enough to try the various combinations through multiple play throughs. The simple sprite graphics are clean and nice looking and the interface is very usable. Movement and attacking are intuitive and easy to control. One grip I have that has cost me runs are the friendly NPC ghosts that can follow you through the dungeons. Maneuvering around them can be difficult and they can block you in the path of enemies that you otherwise don’t want to engage. Overall a very enjoyable game and definitely worth $3 if you like the rouge-like genre.
Great rogue like. Would be perfect if...

This is a really fun rogue like. Simple but has enough depth and looting to make each playthrough unique. The only thing I wish was added: seeing the armor and weapon you have equipped on your actual warrior. I was bummed out when I equipped the awesome serpent bow but it only showed the generic bow in gameplay. That's always a fun aspect of an RPG is customizing your warrior. Other than that it's really fun and addictive. I love that it keeps track of details for each run.
Poor.

Almost no depth whatsoever. For myself, the main draw of roguelikes is the depth of character customization. At the very least, this means some equipment customization, maybe picking a race, but most of all, I want to be able to shape my character as they level up. This game offers so little in the way of RPG elements, I was still waiting for the game to 'really begin' after I had beaten it. Rarely do I give poor reviews, but having just finished Cavern with a bad taste in my mouth, and especially when a game like Cardinal Quest 2 (just to name one from the top of my head) offers so much more and is free, I felt the need to warn prospective players. Do not pay for this, look elsewhere.
Ok but

Games really hard, on one occasion I'm waking around randomly getting hurt by nothingness until I finally die..alrighty then. Too many chests that are empty..
Best roguelike for iOS

Finding a very good rougelike on iOS is pretty hard. Definitely the best one on iOS. I highly recommend this game.
