Quotes on the original version:
"Deeply immersive and a whole lot of fun, Dungeons of Chaos belongs on the iPad of any self-respecting 1980s role-playing fan." - iRumorsnow
"If Avernum and Ultima 4ish had a genius baby, this would be it." - Aldinach
"The little guy who made this game made a gem. [...] It's very fun and deep. Creating characters is the bomb. It's great!" -- anabolicMike
FEATURES:
- retro-style RolePlayingGame (RPG) in the spirit of old classics
- vast locations to explore in a top-down 2D tile-based view
- many different character classes, spells and skills to employ. Guilds can give access to advanced classes
- rewarding quests to fulfil
- atmospheric music, and detailed lighting and line-of-sight visual mechanics
- non-linear content and exploration: many locations exist outside the main storyline, with unique monsters and treasure and secrets
- some locations are fully randomised and different each time you play (procedural content generation). Some are randomised and re-settable. And there are over 30 fixed locations supporting the main storyline.
- many rare item properties make for over 5,000,000 combinations that let your armour, weapons and accessories take on powerful bonuses
- defeat many different monsters with unique abilities and challenges. level up your characters and upgrade their abilities.
- find important NPCs to expand your skill sets, find magic books to boost your spell knowledge and improve your equipment by trading your bounty with various shop owners
- intricate fight mechanics: flanking or being flanked makes an encounter change from being easy to being dangerous, and vice versa; using the right boost/support/attack spells and skills will prove vital for survival
- control a party of 6 characters, which you can generate using 9 starter classes and unique character features
- try out different classes, experience different randomised locations, find different equipment, for great replay value
- various difficulty levels. Higher difficulty yields better loot but also much tougher enemies and game mechanics

DEVICE SUPPORT:
Dungeons of Chaos is designed to work on as many devices as possible and back to iOS6. Issues DO arise on very old devices with low memory (RAM of 256MB or less), such as iPad2 or iPad Mini or iPhone 4S and 5C if the latter run iOS 8 or 9. The game works fine on iPhone 5S,6,6S,6Plus and on newer iPads like iPadAir 1 or 2, or iPad3.

To be able to just sit down and do a little exploring in an fun and enjoyable system is worth so much more than reasonable cost of this game. I am a fan of the genre and I look forward to the proposed expansions. I love supporting small artists. With my and my friends free time dwindling by the year our tabletop gaming is getting harder to schedule (don’t get me wrong, we still game twice a month, we aren’t animals). This lets me get some adventuring in on my own time.
Possibly the best mobile game (for me)

Bought this game to keep occupied during COVID. Needed an RPG fix and the reviews were good. What a pleasant surprise. The creator of this game is so intent on making a quality game with help built right in if you desire. The gameplay is intuitive but not easy. You may have to grind a bit to take out the bigger baddies, but super satisfying. I don’t often pay for games, but this one has easily paid for itself already. Keep up the great work, and I’ll keep buying. Easy 5 stars
So much fun!

The most fun I’ve had in a long time, even more than other graphics heavy, high costing games. Lots of replay value too.
Great game

This is one of my all time Favorite games. If you grew up on Ultima by Richard Garriot then this is the game for you. The replay value is high and the characters are fun to tweak and mix up. You can play at your own speed. I cannot think of a game I've spent more hours playing than this one.
Nice little gem

This game has a lot of love put into it, and you can tell the developer put a lot of effort. For the amount of replayability, this game is a bargain. It isn’t graphically the most advanced, and there are huge spikes in combat difficulty at certain parts that will catch you off guard, but it is worth it. You can save scum to try and get the best loot. You can choose to grind and grind to raise skills / spells (will take short of forever for skills that are usable only a few times a day). Or you can spend your talent points on them to get a quick boost to your combat power at the expense of saving points to boost your stats or learning new skills / spells (need to find trainers or spell books). There is a LOT of functions that you can do. Combat is probably the weakest point (why can a monk only use a cestus but not knuckles?). Would be nice to put talents into HP and SP as well if desired. Would be nice to have obstacles in combat. Seeing projected turn order easily would also be nice. Overall a solid B+, and amazing that just one person put it together.
Phenomenal
Dreaming of Wolves
A fantastic title. Worth it 1000% for anyone who’s remotely interested in role play. The sheer amount of possibilities in characterization and settings alone are worth it, let alone the gameplay itself and it’s vast land full of quests I have yet to complete despite my hours of playtime. What a gem.
Genuinely Great Game

I got the lite version and fell in love with that. I ended up buying the full version and I don't regret it. Also, I don't normally go out of my way to give video game reviews (this is my first) so that should say something.
