I haven’t dedicated nearly as much of my time as I might expect with the “Roguelike” genre as a whole, even though it seems pretty up my alley overall. Claustrophobia: The Downward Struggle may change all that for me; it’s not a perfect game, but it sure is a lot of fun. I really enjoyed exploring the extensive, randomly-generated dungeons — and I got to see a lot of them over the course of this review, because if there’s one thing that Claustrophobia has a lot of, it’s situations that are pretty tough to survive. Deadly monsters, insidious traps, and the ever-present darkness that makes whatever’s around the next corner or through the next door a wonderful mystery.
The Rogue’s Tale, by GLHF Games, is a roguelike dungeon crawler rife with nostalgia and very little else. Though shallow and repetitive, it’s initially strangely addicting, perhaps due to the variety of characters one can experiment with. Although once you’ve tried them all, the game begins to fall flat due to the lack of any other interesting qualities.
Carl Williams writes, "Rogue is one of the oldest, most retro, games in existence that is still being called upon for new games. Rogue’s Tale takes the essence of Rogue and continues the tradition known as “Roguelikes” on Android. If you are not familiar with Rogue or Roguelikes in general, continue reading. For everyone else, the store link is at the bottom of this article."
