Descend into the Crossword Dungeon, where every level is made up of a procedurally-generated crossword, and each letter guarded by a vile monster you must best!
Category Price Seller Device
Games $3.99 Nolithius iPhone, iPad, iPod

Guess the correct letter to instantly dispatch the monster, or risk combat damage if incorrect.

Test your wits against crosswords of increasing complexity and monsters with deadly abilities with one of three classes with their own unique skills:

The Barbarian, a muscled berserker who lives for the thrill of battle and feeds his rage with the blood of his enemies.

The Ranger, a feared hunter who uses a deadly combination of marksmanship and tracking instincts.

And the Scoundrel, a ne'er-do-well who makes the best of limited resources and subverts enemies' defenses with stealth attacks.

...each in search of riches and glory beneath the Crossword Dungeon.

Reviews

Cool Game
Malkav!

But Stanley Kubrick directed 2001, not Ridley Scott.


Misspeled words
Mrtinypants

I would give 5 stars but some of the words or a lot are misspelled, 5 so fare.


Repetitive
Gamerman1352

Worth 99 cents not 1.99


Fun game with nice direction
MrVariant

I like the rpg setup with the crosswords. You explore the letters one at a time and sometimes have to spell things backwards while you battle monsters with correct letters in the crossword spaces. The abilities with some letters are pretty cool too.


Cool Idea w/Bugs
Night_Mayor

Very cool idea and overall a fun game to play! Adds strategy elements to the classic puzzle game. Haven't seen the spelling errors others mentioned. The biggest problem I've had is that the game can't be continued after a certain (seemingly random) point. When I resume, my character's data remains intact but the level he was on has been corrupted somehow. The clues repeat after awhile, and they're not terribly difficult to begin with. I'd rate 4 stars with the continue problem fixed and 5 with harder/more clues added.


New, inspiring, instantclassic!
RodrigoFM

This is the way portable gaming must go, with fresh new ideas like this nobody is gonna get bored anytime soon. This game has it all crosswords in a rogue like environment with supercool rpg elements! Cant put it away, plus the Dev is planning lots of updates and its going universal soon!


Cool Game
TruGuardian

Cool idea for a game. Had fun playing it and found myself wanting to keep playing even after game over. That's a good sign coming from me. Haven't run into the bugs/crashes others have experienced but I'm sure they will be addressed quickly. I think I'll actually invest in a mac and finally develop an app of my own. Keep up the good work!


Needs work...
R. Dawkins

Super repetitive. Appears much more deep than it actually is. This is little more than a crossword puzzle. Also many of the clues are flat out wrong. Ridley Scott was NOT the director of 2001, Kubrick was. Much room for improvement.


I really like this game
pankakes

But the bugs are a tad frustrating. Anywhere from not progressing to the next dungeon, save file becoming corrupted, and sometimes a class' upgrades not working. Even with these issues I still continue to play it and load up a new character, good job guys!


Great idea, needs improving
Sikapwach

The basic idea is absolutely great, but there are some major problems. When replaying dungeons there needs to be different words every time. This seems like a pretty simple implementation. Also I've had repeated problems with crashing. Finally, there needs to be some sort of tutorial to teach the player what's going on. I really think all of these things can be fixed fairly easily but right now they are holding back the game from being a true breakthrough hit.
