Description
Rogue Touch is one of the oldest games in the App Store, available since iOS 2.0 in February 2009. Now this completely refreshed classic looks and plays better than ever!
Rogue Touch is based on the classic dungeon crawler Rogue. This famous turn based adventure-RPG has been re-designed from the ground up for easy touch screen gaming, no crazy keyboard commands or dozens of hard to learn gestures here! Rogue Touch is so simple a child can play, but still offers deeply strategic gameplay and literally hundreds of hours of fun and replay value!
Your mission is simple: Explore the Dungeons of Doom while trying to retrieve the Amulet of Yendor... Descend into the depths, find and identify strange and powerful items... Learn how to use your pack full of equipment effectively against increasingly dangerous monsters. Few have made it out alive with the Amulet. Do you have what it takes?
If you liked games such as Torneko / トルネコ / Taloon or Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer (Chunsoft) you have to play Rogue Touch! Rogue is the great-grandfather of these games and spawned an entire genre of "roguelikes" over nearly 40 years.

What’s New
Version 2.0.64
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
Version 2.0.64:
* ZOMG an update, after 4 years!
* WOW its a big update!
* HEY there's a bunch of new and cool stuff in this update!
* 64-Bit Compatible, Position Independent Executable (iOS 8.0 is the new minimum requirement). Portions of the game engine have been re-written to support this as well as the other new features below... You don't even want to know the massive number of deprecations I had to fix dating back to the original support for iOS 2 (º_o)
* Retina Graphics - The dungeon never looked better thanks to a ton of new artwork by Jake Woodruff and a bit of tweaking by yours truly. Everything has been re-imagined in Hi-Res detail.
* Retina Text - Fixed again what has been broken for several iOS revisions, all text is now silky smooth.
* Play Your Own Music - Finally, seamless automatic detection means you can explore dungeons without interrupting your jam (or streaming, or podcast, or audiobook!). Rogue Touch also respects your mute switch.
* Gameplay Improvements - In addition to the classic "Search" for secret doors, you can simply walk into / push on walls where you believe the door is hidden. If you're correct it will be revealed automatically! Secret Doors and Traps may have small but noticeable visual differences now to help clue you in ;)
* Gameplay Improvements Part II - Interesting tweaks for extra damage and/or elemental immunities when weilding special weapons like ice, fire, electric, and blessed.
* Dungeon Improvements - Subtle tweaks to dungeon generator for room sizing, treasure placement, and more. Secret doors should nearly always lead somewhere interesting now, rather than a potential dead end.
* Pinch Zoom Improvements - Now you can enhance your view by zooming anywhere from 25% to 200% size to appreciate the detailed graphics close-up and personal.
* Settings Improvements - Finally, it's super easy access to RT settings, just touch the gear icon found in the upper left corner on the Title Screen.
* BUGFIXES - Lots of little annoying bugs fixed to provide a better dungeon exploring experience! Fixes for various crash conditions, stair placement bugs, and game-lockup at item use during the last turn before death are included.

Ratings and Reviews
Still one of the best
It was great four years ago and it's even better today with an update to graphics and plenty of nice little extra touches.
One of the best Roguelikes on the App Store, easy to learn, not so easy to master...
Slick, simple, deep
Rogue is not a game that's easy to get into straight away - it takes a little time to get the hang of. Hence the negative reviews from some people who admit to giving up after a couple of minutes. That's not a fair way to assess a game like this.
I never played Rogue before, but I do have very happy memories of Moria many years ago, a more complex version of the same game. Rogue is the original RPG, stripped to its most basic - no character classes - but still has immense depth and replayability (mainly from the vast repertoire of objects and monsters). This version is an absolute delight. It looks great, with smart clean graphics, and more importantly plays extremely smoothly. The menu system works very well after the minimal time it takes to get used to it, the icons are well thought out, and the multiple options for the movement controls are excellent. There is a rival version of Rogue available for iPhone/iTouch which is free, but this one is far superior, at least in my opinion. It is certainly friendlier. Well worth the small cost. Plus it is very forgiving to your battery, unlike flashier-looking games - combine that with the depth of gameplay and you have the ideal game for long journeys.
Not for modern iphone screen sizes.
Please update to work with recent iPhone screen sizes.
