Description
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 30 years).

What's New In Version 1.6
Version 1.6:
* Retina Display support! All text in the game is silky smooth on the iPhone 4.
* Fast App Switching / Multitasking support in iOS4! Jumping out of your game and back in is lightning fast.
* Hi-Res iPhone 4 icon.
* Even greater improvements in drawing speed on iOS4.
* New feature- return to title screen from the dungeon at any time by swiping from top to bottom of screen (a regularly requested ability)!
* New magic potion- the effect is a secret, find one and try it out for yourself ;)
* New magic scroll- reading one of these when surrounded by monsters will give you some breathing space!
* Knockback chances are improved if wielding a Battle Axe, War Hammer, or Two Handed Sword!
* Scroll of Safe Passage fixed (again)- turns out there were actually 2 bugs before, and I only found one! Corrected the problem with pit traps being found after reading... I have been properly flogged for the foolish mistake :)
* Suicidal potion drinking- fixed an issue where you could drink a potion, die, and not see the graveyard appear.
If you would like to see further improvements to Rogue Touch, please write a review in iTunes (or update your existing review)... Your continued support will be rewarded!

Customer Reviews
Best iphone game`
This is a phenomenal game. Deep, strategic gameplay, an incredibly involved developer who listens to feedback and makes the game better, and a whole lot of fun. Best three bucks I ever spent. If you like dungeon crawlers or rogue-likes, you should buy this game NOW!
After 1 year
and i still love this game! This is also my all time most played game. It is just so smooth and well done.
V1.6
Was a bit skeptical of this game. However have had a good time. Good pick up and play retro dungeon crawler. Look forward to more updates.
