Feels really unfinished

Update: maybe there is a fun game here. I didn’t really look because the controls were not at all to my liking Original review: Disappointed. Skip this Reply to response: Appreciate the reply, I haven’t played true OG rogue but am familiar with all sorts of modern rogue likes. My main problem with this game is the tough/swipe controls. Really found it unintuitive and deleted the game after like 20 moves
Meh

It's good I'll give it that. But kinda dead. I mean no music no huge numbers representing damage. No skills or different types of rogues. Also the blackness really doesn't help much either. It just makes it more dull. However it is very addictive and considering this is a remake it's great. But if you want it to stand proud please add maybe 1 or 2 things listed above. Rating 85/100
Good but not the best

I enjoyed it but i prefer sword of Fargoal and 100 rouges more. Still fun though
Love it but what's up now??

Had this app for a long time. The latest iOS update has thrown an issue with the app so it runs all slow and studdery. Would be nice if the developer would update the app. Would give it 4.5 stars if it wasn't for this bug.
i'm dissapointed

well, i debated on purchasing this for more than a week and finally got it today. i was first introduced to roguelikes a few years ago, and really enjoy them. so when i saw this i thought it would be the best most complete version. actually, the truth is, it's watered down. it seems like they took the rogue formula and stripped it down to just the basics. while this is good for some new players, for those who have played before, its dissapointing. i thought that there would be at least an option to pick your character's class, but no, there are no options, there aren't even any options to pray, kick, etc.. i mean i understand if you want to appeal to a new audience, but you should let the customers know what options are and are not available. i for one want character selection, and maybe and option to change tilesets, but at least character creation/customization. for 2.99 you should give us more than a watered down port. if you're looking for a good roguelike with a bit more depth, i recommend 100 rogues or inethack (which is free). sadly i can't really recommend this one because i don't feel that it's that good, also it misinforms the customers. so i hope that, in the future this version with be more worth $3 and that if anyone is considering making the purchase, they read my review first, cuz nowhere does it say in the description of the app, just how feature light this game is.
Upgraded Rogue from the Past

I used to play the original letter graphics Rogue back in the late 90's and really enjoyed it. This version is an upgrade to that great original with actual graphics, updated content, and additional characters unlocked by the name you choose. The additional characters keep the game interesting and the replay value really high. Out of all the adventure type games on my phone I play this one the most, but I am a gamer that has seen the entire evolution of the computer gaming industry from the early Atari consoles, so to someone who grew up after the bigger consoles came out you might not be as impressed. For old original Rogue players this is a MUST OWN! My thanks to the developer!
Expectations...

This is more of a response to some negative posts...several reviewers have stated a desire for a more in depth Rogue. They have even gone so far as to say that this is a dumbed down version. Poppycock! Balderdash! Malarky! If anything, it is a more streamlined and updated, user friendly port of the original. THE ORIGINAL. The Rogue that had little more than symbols on a screen and a killer intro screen (for the time) that I still don't know what creature it is. This app is true to it's roots. Take it from someone who still keeps a DOS system working so he can play his 5 1/4 inch floppy version of Rogue from 1984 (go tandy1000!!) because I STILL haven't beaten it on the original...(grumblegrumble) Point of my ramblings...know what you're looking for before you gripe. Understand your expectations. This is a wonderful app and hours upon hours of fun.
Controls need work
