Game description:

Rogue is a turn-based dungeon crawler in which the player controls an adventurer who must explore the dangerous Dungeon of Doom in order to retrieve the precious Amulet of Yendor and make it out alive. The player character starts on the upper-most level and slowly makes his way downwards.

Levels get progressively more complex and maze-like, and monsters grow in strength the deeper the hero ventures into the dungeon. The player character can acquire better weapons and armor, gain experience points and level up. Should the protagonist perish in the dungeon, the player must restart the game anew.


What I think:

A nice game\version, but it could've been better.

1.) I don't like the controls for the movement. Why can't I move around like in (almost) every other game?

2.) Sometimes enemies spawn in the very first room you spawn (when you start a (new) game).
