Wow, I actually beat the mobile version of Quest of Dungeons. Only did it ONCE on Switch, the main part, which is apparently all there is to the mobile part. On Switch, when you beat the first part, there's another part (which I haven't beaten yet - it's TOUGH).
The key is ALWAYS good armor. Luck and good weapons help too, but not dying instantly from powerful boss hits is key. The armor I had kicked my dodge chance WAY up.
Dig how it keeps track of all those stats, too. 🤣 Tapped almost 8 thousand times! 🤯
Had a REALLY good run of Quest of Dungeons going last night (a run I'd been saving my progress on, I'd been working on it over a couple days), and it was maybe one of my best runs ever. Felt really good. Level 12 warrior, down several levels in the dungeon, and then boom. Death. Outta nowhere.
I know QoD is probably not considered a true roguelike, so I'll say.. 'ah, turn-based dungeon crawling!' 🤣
Just realized I had Quest of Dungeons for Android from an itch bundle I grabbed a long time ago and I fear I may never get anything done ever again. 🤣 I have it on Switch, Xbox, and now, the QoD is in my pocket..
After I stopped playing Diablo tonight (3 more levels to go!), made dinner, and watched the new Ahsoka episode, I started trying out this game Gnollhack on Android (maybe it's on iOS too?)
It's basically Nethack. A lot like DCSS. It's fun as hell. I'm playing casual mode - no score. But there's saving, and it's just a really great mobile roguelike. I'm a gnoll bandit named Kuglskag, as shown in the first screenshot below.
The second screenshot is the Worn Items screen, which is similar to the look of your inventory (in your backpack). And you can only carry so much before you become too burdened- which makes things tough for an item hoarder like me, 🤣
The last two screenshots are the very cool, stylized Common Commands and Additional Commands screens. Check out those rad icons.
Playing a lot of Pocket Rogue as usual. You find so many interesting items and you eventually learn what they do. In town there's a warehouse where you can store items for later, in case you die, and because you can only carry so much. I'm a supplies hoarder (unfortunately) but I just always want to try out everything to see what items can do, and also to try and find and keep the best stuff. But I always have to remind myself to actually use the stuff, as you'll just die anyway, and it lightens your pack.
As usual, my pack is totally full but I'm super curious as to what a "bottle of slugs" would do. 🤣 I've never run across one. You have to pick up items and look at their short descriptions to get an idea of what they'll do. But for many items, you won't know their true or full effect until you try them out! 😬🤣
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.
Some weekends you get a lot done, some very little. I like both kinds. Most of today was the latter, just hanging with the wife watching Netflix and playing Wizorb. I'll probably dream in brick breaking. 🤣 Switching it up tonight with Diablo Immortal, which I can just never quit. I still blows my mind that this S21 can handle a game like this. Pretty detailed and CPU-intensive. I find it crazy fun. I've deleted most games off my phone but Immortal is a must, at, least for me. One of the most wild mobile experiences around (and it's also free on PC).
