Rogue for Negative User Reviews

Good stuff!Really liking this game! One minor setback though is that I often get stuck on a level with lots of rooms but nowhere to progress to (no stairs) I've tried looking for hidden doors but is coming back with zilch... My request is that the searching for hidden doors movement is easier...and less time consuming (it gets very aggravating since it needs to be repeated multiple times....) and a reset game button (I've been deleting and reinstalling the game when I get stuck....Version: 0

Can’t get Bluetooth keyboard to workBought this to scratch that nostalgia itch, and was excited to try out the keyboard support for that truly authentic feeling, but I sadly haven’t been able to get it to work. I’m using iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad, and the keyboard works in other apps (like Notes), but it doesn’t seem to do anything here. Am I missing something obvious?.Version: 2.0.1

Didnt workGame wouldn't work, crashed straight to springboard on iPod Touch iOS4..Version: 0

No keyboard supportNo keyboard support this is garbage.Version: 2.0.1

Good adaptation, pity about the small thingsRemarkably true to the version I played 25 years ago. The touchscreen shortcuts are excellent. My only complaint is that this version, like many variants, has become too difficult. One example was a teleport trap at the entrance to the room with the next door down. In the original version you just had to allow the trap to eventually teleport you into the same room- this version would not do so, ending the game. I also had a case where there were there were no secret doors- hundreds of attempts would not reveal one yet there had to be one to continue. It's frustrating to invest hours in a run that ends stupidly. Close to being a real gem..Version: 0

Wands crash appLiked rogue and want to like this but every time I select a wand to use app crashes and must restart!.Version: 2.0.1

CrapCrap!!!!!!!.Version: 0

This isn't RogueSorry developers/publishers but this isn't Rogue. UI just doesn't work for me - given how small most caves are in ASCII give the option of ditching the graphic view and having a mini keyboard.Version: 0

Good port but could be much betterI played the original long ago and would spend countless hours in my schools computer lab. After I got older I missed the hours of simple entertaining fun trying to make it deep into the dungeon. This game falls way short from other ports I have played and like another said there doesn't seem to be a difference between classes other then graphics. The Mage can't cast etc and I want me monk. Honestly I would like to see labyrinth ported over. It's freeware with open license on the pc. It's also true to the classic with a graphical interface. Over all it needs work and more polish.Version: 0

Glitchy AFYou will be playing and all of the sudden the game will exit. Your character is not saved when you come back. You have to start over. By the looks of it, there was just the one version and update released two years ago. Doesn’t like like there will be support into the future..Version: 2.0.1

It’s about 60% thereIf you’re looking for an exact replica of Rogue dating back from the 1980s, this isn’t it—it still needs a lot of work to make it the game we all love..Version: 2.0.1

So where’s the keyboard?Don’t have a Bluetooth keyboard and it seems to indicate it can be played with menu commands only. But I couldn’t find the in-app keyboard to respond to questions like “What do you want to identify”... got stuck right there!.Version: 2.0.1

Deadly creaturePlease return the previous version to App Store. My latest issue with this one - on level 8 cleaning up my inventory, found a Leprechaun to zap with one of my three unidentified and unused wands, when I selected direction the app closed. When I reopened it, the save slot with my character had vanished. Was it a new, deviously powerful Stave of Character Invisibility? Doubtful, since there have been many other times that I have been dumped, locked, killed, and most of all frustrated by this version. What good is a potion that displays items that are covered by an overlay, requiring travel to all three rooms at the bottom of the map? The deadliest creature in this dungeon is the developer..Version: 2.0.1

Standard port, could be much moreA faithful reproduction of Rogue, which is both positive and negative. I hope future versions will take advantage of the interface, instead of giving us long command lists to scroll through or obscure gestures that often fail or are misinterpreted. The help page is much more user-friendly than the actual game, so I hope some lessons are taken from there..Version: 0

Don't bother downloading.Not compatible with IOS 11..Version: 0

Good Game But Awkward CommandsOnce you get used to the move commands, it's pretty much like the Unix Rogue except it's over generous with the items you find. I remember in the Unix version, items were very scarce. Also, it's not entirely faithful to the Unix version as there are new potions and scrolls not seen before. Issues: 1) When the inventory is displayed the command button doesn't work right. It should clear the inventory and proceed with the command. 2) It identifies scrolls and potions after they've been used but it does NOT identify the wands after usage. Why? At least let us write notes to ID the wand. 3) Yeah throwing potions at monsters would be good. 4) Wizard mode doesn't do anything. In the Unix version you go up a few levels, get splint mail and a two handed sword. :).Version: 0

Can't playThe game crashes on startup. Please fix it :(.Version: 0

Bad!!!I could hardly figure out how to play this game! Give this one a miss!.Version: 0

Staffs and Wands still crash the game:-(.Version: 2.0.1

No longer compatible with iPhone - update requiredCrashes on startup, please fix..Version:

Well, it IS rogue....Very good use of the Ipod Touch interface. Portrait mode is graphical, landscape is the ascii map. Most of the time the swipe interfaces are intuitive after the first hour or so of "how do I do..." and using the button interface. Would get a higher rating if it actually implemented some of the rogue elements properly - the character type appears to be meaningless - they all start off identically statted and equipped, from what I can see. Still, for those of us used to the classics, it's a good port - looking forward to the updates that fix the character types. I want my archaeologist back (ok, that was NetHack, but still)..Version: 0

I eat babiesI would give it no stars if i could.Version: 0

Shows promise, but clunky interfaceI loved the old rogue, so I had high hopes. But the swipe interface is too difficult to use, it kept misreading my inputs, it just got frustersting. Its missing a help page, had to learn interface from the website faq. The graphical interface is very nice, the all text version is too small font to be easily to view. I'd much prefer a series of action buttons, but if you can learn the swipe system it looks like a fun RPG. P.S. Am frustrated I can't find the author's email address on his site..Version: 0

Old version was a lot betterThe original version of this app worked very well and was a lot of fun. This all new version, however, is much harder to use and full of bugs plus crashes a lot. Can’t recommend this current version — bring back the old one, please..Version: 2.0.1

?How do u move?!.Version: 0

Can you fix the bugs plz?I was excited. The first time I played this app, I had lots of hit points and found a 2 handed sword. Then at 4th level it froze. When it unfroze it kicked me off the app. Went back and my character was at 1st level at the beginning. Had to start all over. I would gladly pay more to have a solid version that actually works. Please fix now!.Version: 2.0.1

I want to love it but...... but it just isn’t as easy to use as was the version before the major iOS upgrade. It’s more work than fun..Version: 2.0.1

Crashes just like the originalLooks great, gameplay is close enough to the original, brings back memories... but crashes just like the original too..Version: 2.0.1

MehInteresting interface commands but lame game play...a little too random. OK for a free game..Version: 0

Good, but missing something.This is a good start at a Rogue clone. It's missing things you'd expect, but is still fun to play. It's free so try it out and see what you think. Tip: rotate your iPod 90 degrees to switch between map and room view..Version: 0

Quite good if you like that sort of thingOne thing it needs is a quit function -otherwise how do you win without dying?.Version: 0

Yay Rogue! But sigh...So happy to have my beloved Rogue in my pocket! But sad because this implementation is buggy and has major usability problems. It’s subject to random crashes, clearly a bug, and it has weirdness about player names and saved games which also seems like a bug but could be a design problem. As for usability, there seems to be no rhyme or reason about which features are on which supplemental menu. And one constant minor annoyance: why must a double-tap in a tunnel stop at every corner, instead of running to the next fork or doorway as in some other implementations? With no keyboard, saving those unnecessary taps would make a big improvement in playability....Version: 2.0.1

Please improve the guide/controlsSeriously. I have no idea how to move down. I’ll find a new game with better instructions..Version: 2.0.1

Won't even start. No good.Won't even start. Just a black screen and crash..Version: 0

Disappointed...Was excited when I saw this on the app store, but faded once I actually started playing. The touch/gesture controls compltely ruined the game making it virtually unplayable..Version: 0

Played too many hours in the 1980sI was delighted to find a version of Rogue for the iPad, but after playing it several times, I must admit, I am disappointed. There are several disappointing flaws: 1) Can't throw potions - I used to throw potions of confusion at monsters to get an advantage. In the original, you could throw anything: food, armor, whatever. 2) "Run" is not implemented correctly - in the original, when you ran, you advanced to the point of a decision. For instance, if you ran along a wall containing a door, the character would stop at the door. This version blows right past the door. 3) Some monsters should not kill you - Ice monsters, Aquators, and Leprechauns (for instance) did their own version of damage, which is made these monsters interesting. But they didn't kill you. 4) Does leather armor exist in this port? I have yet to find some. It was the only armor safe from an Aquator. Having said that, the graphics are a nice touch. I don't remember a potion of hallucination or a scroll of floating, but whatever. But the items I mentioned are nuances of the game that made it timeless..Version: 0

Completely glitchedWon't open on iOS 10.3, and gives a message saying it won't be supported by iOS 11..Version: 0

Appreciate the effort...Can't complain about a free, solid port like this, but I do wish the app wouldn't bomb to the home screen whenever a push notification or text comes in. More importantly, app stopped running after about 2 weeks -- won't load when I was in the middle of my best quest yet. :( Wish for more items to be found -- esp. scrolls of identify -- as in Epyx software version I played as a kid..Version: 0

Not a game for touch/screensI was wondering how this game would work without a keyboard, and it turns out, not very well. You have to remember different strokes instead of different keys..Version: 0

Frustrating as heckIt seems impossible to not die, since the enemies are all stronger than you, combat requires no strategy, and you can't run from enemies. Other than the sheer impossibility, i'm sure it's fun. Too bad i die too fast to find out..Version: 0

Big fan of Rogue from back in the days but this version has issues!!!I love rogue.......just not this iphone version, the original. This version is buggy as heck and the worst bug is having to start over because the program crashes and when you restart, it starts you with a new game. i tried many many times and half the time the program has crashed and erased my game. this has to be fixed to be playable..Version: 0

Needs workWell done port, although this should probably be listed as beta: Throwing items works only occasionally, which is a big deal when you're trying to keep your distance from certain creatures. The biggest problem - I just had it crash on me, and when I restarted, it was back to level 1! Save file gone? I dunno, but I had some great items, hit points, and strength. :(.Version: 0

Rogue hangs and deletes characterScroll of Identify does not cause “pick” or “select object” menu to appear. Only way out is to close game and reload. Worse, when you try to Zap with a staff, the game deletes the active character..Version: 2.0.1

Great Update for Fans?After 20 minutes I could still not figure out how to play the game, so it unfortunately lost my attention. It's obvious a lot of attention went into this game to update not just the graphics but the controls as well, with gestures and what not. For fans of the original who understand how to play it, this appears to be the definitive version..Version: 0
