  • Faithful and impressive remake of the original Rogue with modern first-person perspective and turn-based mechanics, maintaining the classic gameplay feel while enhancing accessibility for new players.
  • Unique presentation combining ASCII and textured graphics with great UI, helpful tutorials, and immersive dungeon synth soundtrack, appealing both to fans of the original and modern roguelike enthusiasts.
  • Includes two game modes, Classic and Dig Dungeon, adding replayability and challenge variety; stable performance on various hardware including Linux, and active developer support with thoughtful community engagement.
  • Some technical issues reported such as crashes that can delete saved games, occasional bugs with controller input, and UI elements like inventory window scaling and confusing initial mode selection.
  • Visual and gameplay elements like pitch-black areas causing accidental deaths, slow inventory management for throwing items, and lack of player choices in leveling and healing can frustrate some players.
  • Limited monster variety and depth compared to later roguelikes, occasional repetitiveness of dungeon layouts and encounter design, and some players find the first-person field of view uncomfortable for long sessions.

    The game's graphics are highly praised for blending modern visuals with classic rogue-like aesthetics, featuring a unique hybrid of ASCII and 3D artwork that appeals to both nostalgic and new players. The option to switch between textured tilesets and traditional ASCII enhances clarity and accessibility, while the overall art style and smooth visuals contribute to an immersive and polished experience.

    • “The hybrid ASCII/3D graphics are brilliant, capturing Rogue's unique atavism and abstraction without sacrificing modernity.”
    • “Good quality of life, beautifully done graphics (the hybrid set immediately blew my mind at how cool it looked), and an awesome synthy soundtrack if you like that kind of music.”
    • “The idea of fighting with DOS-box, compiling from source code, or having to trudge through ASCII graphics presents serious barriers to folks interested in the OG roots of the modern genre and its legacy.”
    • “We didn't need graphics to play games as long as it had a storyline or was long enough to keep playing.”
    • “Graphical tileset is a major plus: now I don't have to worry if a 'b' is a small bat, or a bear.”

    The gameplay successfully modernizes the classic roguelike experience with updated mechanics, intuitive UI, and a helpful tutorial, creating engaging tension through original rogue RNG elements. However, some players note the lack of additional survival tools found in other roguelikes, which can make gameplay overly dependent on RNG and map luck. Overall, movement, actions, and visuals enrich the experience, despite minor performance hiccups.

    • “So glad I gave this a shot to see where my love for the genre originated from and to see the OG get refreshed with new modern mechanics has hit a joyful spot I didn't think an early 80's game could ever do!”
    • “These abilities, added to roguelikes like the excellent Nethack, classic ADOM, or Tome, present tools the player can use to offset and survive terrible RNG: that these features are not present here really hurts the gameplay, reducing it to RNG map luck, and knowing to avoid fighting certain monsters like snakes unless they are sleeping.”
    • “Pleasant music (changes when enemies are nearby), delightful ASCII tile art (preferred over pixel style), great 3D physics when you slay enemies that gives the game more life, ambient particles in the air that float around you, easy to understand UI, movement is solid, actions are not confusing, great tutorial to help you with the basics (if you're afraid of getting confused like I was this bridges that learning gap by a lot!) and most importantly all this together along with the original rogue RNG mechanics brings tension with every run!”
    • “The core gameplay of the original 'rogue' stays pretty much the same, just in a first person perspective.”

  • music

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music in the game is praised for its pleasant and synthy soundtrack that dynamically changes when enemies are nearby, enhancing the tense rogue-like experience. Users also appreciate the ability to switch between ASCII and tileset graphics, with the music complementing the visuals beautifully. Overall, the soundtrack adds significant atmosphere and nostalgia, making it a standout feature alongside solid gameplay and smooth controls.

    • “Then seeing this in all of its first person glory, from changing the graphics to textures, to symbols, ASCII, music, and much more, as I type this, I feel a nostalgic tear forming in my eyes as I finally think my quest for the perfect rogue-like adventure may have finally been fulfilled.”
    • “Good QoL, beautifully done graphics (the hybrid set immediately blew my mind at how cool it looked), and awesome synthy soundtrack if you like that kind of music.”
    • “The ability to switch between tileset and ASCII graphics is a real nice touch, and the music, simple though it is, really adds that extra something.”
