Description
One of the deepest, richest gameplay found in any game on any platform, NetHack is a cult classic since its release in 1987, and has since spawned many descendants (including Diablo). gandreas software now presents this classic for the iPhone/iPod Touch:
- Playable in either "ASCII" mode, or graphics mode (just rotate the device to switch)
- Obscure keyboard commands replaced with a simple taps for movement, or a handy command picker.
- Commands can also be activated by a unique gesture based command - want to search for a secret door? Swipe across the top of the play area (all the gestures are shown on the command picker for easy reference)
- Graphics can be zoomed in/out via pinch
- Completely faithful NetHack experience (all the levels, monsters, potions, scrolls, etc...)
- iPhone UI - standard scrolling lists, pickers, etc...
- Multiple tiles sets, from the classic to the sublime
- Never see a keyboard unless you are doing something like typing in a name!
Can you retrieve the Amulet of Yendor and return to the surface?
Ratings and Reviews
Good, but too many crashes
Nice port of nethack, the controls are pretty good once you get used to them, but, like the other reviewer says, too many crashes. This is made worse by the way save files often don't work, or load some random game(not only after a crash but sometimes just after saving).
Crashes...
...all the time!! I was so stoked to discover Nethack had been ported to the iPhone, but the instability of this makes the game unplayable.
*Open door. CRASH.
*Check Inventory. CRASH.
Need I continue?
What's worse is the game's potential to fail at recovering save files.
"You kill the ancient red dragon."
*Open door. CRASH
'Phew, glad I saved it right before I killed that dragon.'
"Recovering save file..."
"Your save file could not be recovered."
*%#+}{#^*!!!!!!!!!
