Earning its reputation as the thinking man's dungeon game, Oubliette blends the thrill of mortal combat with the sublime challenges of strategy, planning and adaptation. Rather than testing your reaction speed and nerves, like a first person shooter, Oubliette challenges the player to do careful strategic planning as well as make tactical decisions in the heat of battle.
Each player (character) in the game is created from one of eight player races, which vary in attributes such as strength, intelligence, dexterity and durability. Elves are highly intelligent and (potentially) immortal, Orcs are strong with short life spans, Dwarves are strong with high wisdom, Kobolds are quite weak in most areas but advance more quickly.
Depending on these attributes, each player will be qualified to join a limited number of player classes (occupations). More balanced players will have more choices, including Hirebrand (fighter), Mage, Priest and Thief. Less commonly, players may be qualified for a highly selective class with special skills such as Ranger, Sage, Paladin, Samurai or Ninja.
Unlike games which focus on a single player against multiple opponents, Oubliette allows a party of up to 10 players with complementary skills to face the various types of monsters found in the dungeon. There are more than 160 different monsters, and to deal with them, more than 150 different pieces of equipment, which may be enchanted with special properties or skills.
Oubliette is challenging, but forgiving. New players commonly have their parties wiped out by an unfamiliar group of monsters. In fact, your party can meet up to 3 monster groups at the same time! Use the Temporal Chamber to save a Temporal Portal before dangerous trips. If things turn out badly, use the Temporal Chamber to turn back the clock and try again. The trapeze is every bit as thrilling, but safer, with a net below.
If you are up to the challenge, Oubliette is free to download and play. Explore the easier levels of the dungeon to build your party and expertise. And then, when you are ready, feel the power of the game on the deeper levels. Onward to Glory!

Way too confusing.

This is an awful mobile game it is just a mess. I just don't feel like the UI is easy to use. Maybe this just isn't the game for me.
it's fine I just have one problem

this game seems a little accessible to blind people because it is working for me do you only problem is it won't let me just keep fighting every time I choose one character I'll go and do a double blow it'll make me go to the character again that is that take me a little that take me a little bit of time to get back to the character list and find which character I want so whyAnd I have also been doing the repeat but it should let me fight untill I want another character App for star because I like it it is very very fun and addictive
Very Playable

Lots of diversity, plenty of fun. The temporal gems are a great way to save your players status. Definitely need to save using the temporal gems because the lower levels are tough and even the strongest, wisest characters can be killed rapidly
Old school game with a challange

This game is pretty fun. Its definitely diffrent then other games that i have seen on the iPhone. If you were ever a fan of fantasy table top games then you should check this game out.
D & D gamer's delight

I played D & D back in college 20 years ago and this is very similar, updated to the iPod! Great fun! Stick with it, learn the strategies, create some really good characters for your dungeon exploration parties, and go for it! They have a good website for reference too. Nice job!
Real table top experience!

This game is almost like table top d&d!so far I've only played down to dungeon lv 2... I guess my only complaint is that some of the monsters look the same...how hard could it be to draw a different sort of beastie... Anyway I bought all dungeon levels(fair price too$2.99) so I'll give you more input after I've played a little more .. Over all good!
Thrills and chills - this is a keeper!

Great blend of classical dungeon game with cool mood setting graphics and sound. It has the feel of an old school dungeon game with a mix of real time action when you're fighting the monsters - I actually fought three groups at the same time, and survived! If you like living on the edge, go to temporal chamber to save your guys first, cause if you get wiped out, you can restore em good as new. At first I liked running elves and dwarves for their great stats, but then I discovered the lowly kobolds make level like mad. Forget elves - they live forever, because they take forever to make levels once you get em up to level 6 or so. The spell names are strange and they take a while to get used to, but I love the voice of the mage when casting. Thanks for a neat game, guys!
Worth the Effort

Really awesome app! I'm a girl who wouldn't normally be into these type of games, but I really like this one. It's not just like everything else out there! It did seem somewhat confusing at first but it just took a little time to get the hang of it. Definitely worth any confusion. Great job!
Old School but.....
Follow me here....
Yes, this game has that old school AD&D 2nd Edition feel to it......but.... PROS: *Old School Feel *Player Character Party Play *Plenty of Class/Race Choices *Challenging Age System *Variety of Loot *Large Variety of Spells *Certain Classes are rare..... *Very reasonable prices for deeper levels. CONS: *Only first 2 members of party can melee *Aging system is too fast at the Inn *Caster Attack Spells are mostly useless since they damage party as well..... *Can only purchase deeper levels IN GAME.... *No real ROLE PLAY and more of a dungeon crawl.... Still fun none the less!

Its kind of a bummer that i only get 10 gems. But im a big fan of RPG's and the like and this game is fun. It takes some getting used to but its enjoyable. I love the old school feel. The only downers are that it takes a while to get created charcaters up and running & the gem shortage.
