Pathos is absolutely the best!
AllTheGoodOnesWereTaken

Pathos is absolutely one of the best thing in the app store at any price. The price just makes it that much better and you have no excuse for not trying it. Yes, you will die a lot. This is a Nethack variant after all. But the journey is the fun and it’s random so it’s also endlessly replayable.


Love this game
87GamerKid87

Honestly I love this game. I hope that you realize there is a fan base for this game and that we love to see updates. Each time I play it, it’s like a new puzzle to solve and I just love it so much. I hope to see new things come to life in this great game.


Simply the best

The best but put simply


A BIG ISSUE!
Tilden Thorne

Without the ability to delete characters, or reuse names if one dies. This is of little interest to me. The devs could put a time on a slot previously belonging to a now deleted character if they feel the need to be that prickly, but as it stand, in a game like this... Why use this limitation?


Absolutely the most playable nethack for iPad I’ve seen
A gamer too

Fantastic job. The user interface clearly shows how much you have played and polished this game. I have been looking for a good nethack like game for iPad for literally years. Finding this was like finding water in the desert. Thank you! I’m easily 50 hours in already and loving it. I also really enjoy the increased approachability you’ve added.


The best RPG on Mobile
Moldy4cheese

No time to explain but you WILL NOT find anything better. It’s fast (or slow, depending on how you play), it’s brutal, and it’s procedurally generated goodness. 10/5 stars I’ve put nearly a hundred hours into it.


So good I love it 5 stars boys 5 big fat juicy stars

Ok started playing in 2018 love it so much the best part is all the classes and races my favs are demon and angel could you please tell me how long it takes a dragon egg to hatch


Bugs I guess? Or just run killers
Da clicker

Fell down a trap hole with no way out and stairs down went nowhere else. Then next run I couldn’t eat food rations. Honestly this seems like a good game but I would like to make it past 3 floors And it’s not like I no-life this game I only played 4 runs and 2 times major bugs ruined my game. Game needs a bit more polish, probably a few more updates. Although everything I said above I would still recommend if this game continues to get support.


Amazing game
Nimitz87

I love this game. I’m always on the look out for a good RPG thats similar to tabletops and this is it. I’ve been playing for a few weeks and I’m still sucked into the game. It does have a steep learning curve but as long as you are prepared to die a lot in the beginning it becomes easier. I do have a couple suggestions about pets/companions... 1.There should be experience sharing for party members and pets. Right now experience is only gained by the specific character/pet that kills an enemy. I’m doing the most killing so my pets and mounts are quickly outclassed by monsters and end up dying very quickly. The way it works now it also makes some character almost useless. Necromancers and Druid’s for example are supposed to summon minions to do the actual fighting but then they don’t get any experience if their minions do the killing. 2. I would also like to see a way to improve pets more and resurrect them easier? Maybe a higher riding skill could let them share your resistances? Maybe pets could give you different talents to make them more useful? For example, having a dog companion could give your character ‘searching’ or ‘see invisible’. I realize the game was not designed as a party system but improving pets and mounts would make certain classes and races more playable. As it is, pets/mounts die at almost every boss level and don’t survive beyond 5 lvls making them almost worthless.


Wonderful adaptation of Nethack!
paulhump

Can’t say enough good things about this game. All of the wonderful weirdness of Nethack is here, with great additions and quality of life changes and lots of features that make it work on a touchscreen, which is a very tricky thing to finesse indeed!
