Great game and an awesome port – Pathos: Nethack Codex Review

I love classic Nethack because of incredible amount of races, options, monsters, abilities, and items. The only problem with it is that the graphics and interface make it difficult to play. Pathos fixes this by upgrading the graphics with actual textures and sprites and adding a much easier to use interface, but at the cost of some small features of the original such as some actions and item uses. There were also some optimization issues on my iPad 3 such as high battery usage, slowdown when playing, freezing when opening control or Notification Center, occasional crashing, and the game using so much memory that it is killed immediately upon leaving the app, which is especially bad if you didn't save. I am also unable to send these issues, possibly because I don't have mail set up. But despite all this the game is most definitely worth downloading, it's incredibly addictive and fun.
