While the roguelike description is apt, it also could be seen as a neat take on the classic Robots game (after each move you take all of the robots will take another step toward you) with a bunch of fun tools (not just the sonic screwdriver or limited teleports). Killing monsters in this game gains you nothing in itself, it's just a necessity to survive onto the next room or grab some key item dropped somewhere on the level. Your score is based on how far you make it into the lair (dying on the 5th room nets you a score of 5), but if you manage to make it all the way to the Cortex and destroy him you'll get a nice little bonus based on how many items you still have on your person (there may be other bonuses at that point as well, like your remaining health, but I'm not sure).

Needs alternate control schemes

Rayijin

The controls are relative to where your character is, making it hard to move when on the edges of the screen. Here are some control schemes that would make mistaps far less frustrating: - swipe to move - virtual d-pad - change the controls to not be relative - e.g., tapping the top of the screen always moves up regardless of character position

Excellent

I LOVE this game! Nice rougelike The latest update made the controls SO much better! Would still like a d-pad option though.

Enjoyable and quick strategy game play

While this game doesn't look like much (I would much prefer slicker graphics, but I get that the retro style fits here), the randomness of the maps and the simplicity of the controls and turned-based game play are perfect. It lacks Game Center support which would be nice to have, but the challenge level is good and everything is ideal for quick gaming sessions. This is a winner!

I'm a big fan of roguelikes and the 7day roguelike challenge. Loved this game on pc too. Now if you could only add a few more powers. The only thing better than this would be the 7drl hyperouge 3 on iOS!! (LOL) good job/ game developer!

Great!

Love this game. Virtually every move you make means something. It's brutal, but tons of fun. Controls are spot on.

Fooled by fake reviews ...

Ok, you got me to purchase this one based on (IMHO) fake or planted reviews ... There is no way this app deserves 5 stars, I don't care what universe you are from this one is a total waste of money. So be warned ... This one a bad ... Very bad ... Not at all worth the price of admission. Please shop elsewhere as this one is a scam with fake reviews. Robert9001

This truly is one of the best Roguelikes on iOS and the one that best plays to the strengths of the platform. The fact that it's not getting recognition for this fact is criminal. The positive reviews aren't fake, they are from people with good taste.

the coffee break roguelike

Zaga-33 has been in constant rotation for me ever since I purchased my ipad lo these three weeks ago. It's a light roguelike - don't go in expecting hours on end of play. But do expect to spend minutes per day chipping away at the world, improving your understanding of enemy patterns, when to use items and when not to, trying to survive in this alien landscape. For those who like quick games with a fair amount of depth, this is a solid choice. It's far and away my favorite roguelike on the app store, and the new swipe controls have actually made the experience even that more pleasant.
