Jake in the desert

I talked about Pocket Rogue briefly in December 2022, but I've been playing it a lot more lately - it's really the best traditional roguelike I've found for Android (It might be in the Apple Store too or other places, I have no idea).

It's fun as hell (and gets tough)! Make sure you watch your satiety, etc - find food when you can and remember to eat.

Luckily, health regenerates when you walk around more. Be careful- some monsters are easy, others are TOUGH. Always equip the best gear, etc.

It's a trip. Grab it at the Play store here, if you have an Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.game.sh_crew.pocketrogue

@jake4480 I don't know if I recognize this genre. The text style is giving me Zork vibes. But I'm always looking for something turn-based to play on my phone, so I'm going to give this a try.

@skweetis heck yeah! Zork is cool too - and you're right, dungeon crawling like that but fully 2D, ASCII only! Zork was '77 it looks like, the first Rogue was in '80 - and I LOVE games like this - roguelikes (and some turn based) are my jam hahaha (what I mean is, I'm not into FF or JRPGs)
