Sproggiwood 12+

I can not believe how good this game is. I only got it 5 days or so ago (I dunno, the days have all started to blend together since I bought this...) - but it's quickly turned into one of my favorite iOS games ever. As for roguelikes, it's probably my second favorite (right behind Cardinal Quest 2... which I've dumped at least 100 hours into, and took the place of 868-Hack, which is another... just outstanding roguelike - if you pick 3 to get into... those are the 3 I'd recommend). Especially after playing on the Savage difficulty - it's like a completely revamped version of the game. But it's also very cool that you can change difficulties on the fly (yeah, mid-level!!), as there's only 1 save slot. The developer has also stated that the controls will be able to be flipped in the update that's being beta tested on iOS right now (along with a couple other tweaks and fixes) - and has been pretty active on Touch Arcade. I'm really looking forward to see what comes next out of Freehold Games studio. If it's even half as good as Sproggi, it should wind up being a pretty great game.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!! MFi support ROCKS!!! =oD

This is a great rogue-like. There are permanent perks and weapons you can buy that last between levels and buffs and events of strategic advantage that can only be found in shrines at each level. The levels are procedurally generated, so in theory you could play indefinitely. To me, it was the right mix of replayability with progress toward an endgame. There is a little bump in difficulty around level 4 and again at the final level, level 10, but overall it was very accessible on normal difficulty. The six different classes are unique enough that I went through the whole game with each. Sometimes the levels were just a bit longer than I find ideal for a mobile game, but that is a more personal issue. But it is not a battery drainer!

This is by far the best game I have purchased on my iPad in a long while. For that alone it deserves 5 stars! It is crazy fun! I have had a hard time putting it down and I honestly have never said that about a game before! I'm playing it with high bass headphones and even the sound I find to be amazing!

The only problem I have run into is a double click issue. When I click to leave settings it often double clicks and puts me right back into settings. I have the same issue after selecting a class. Instead of letting me select my equipment, I am immediately jumped into the game. Annoying but not game breaking by any means.

I wish there was a little more to the city part of the game. For instance when purchasing your first civic boost I was disappointed to see it doesn't unlock a unique building. That, along with visually upgrading the building upon upgrading the boost, would have been awesome! As it stands there's really no reason to ever do anything with your city... That I have thus far figured out anyhow.

To wrap things up... If you are remotely interested in this game, I say, buy it! You probably won't regret it.
