Rogue-like game" that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere Recommended Masterpiece Apps

In 2019, games in the genre known as "roguelike" are attracting attention, with home consoles selling them and classic games being remade on smartphones.

This "roguelike" is one genre of RPG that explores dungeons, and as the name suggests, it is a type of game that inherits the "rogue" game system. It has a system in which the map changes each time, and the main feature is that the player starts from level 1. For those who are not good at games, it may seem difficult, but after playing many times, the player's own experience accumulates, and it becomes fun to conquer the game.

Now, let's take a look at some of these roguelike games.


We have picked up four games. Please check them out.



A simple but deep roguelike game in which you conquer a dungeon whose map configuration changes each time you enter. With its orthodox game system, this masterpiece has been loved by many fans since the day it was released.


You start out at level 1. Once you enter the dungeon, there are monsters along the way, so you have no choice but to fight here. As you defeat enemies, you will gradually become stronger. To control your character, use the buttons at the bottom of the screen. As you advance, stronger enemies will appear, so it is important to know how to make yourself stronger. The dungeon changes each time, and it is interesting that the story does not always unfold in the same way.


However, not only defeating enemies to become stronger, but also the items that fall along the way are very important points of attack. By using items, you can get through the "monster house," a room full of enemies! It is also important to understand items.
There is a "title" in this title as a challenging element. Become the chosen hero by conquering various dungeons.

A roguelike game with retro dot graphics. As the title says "1-bit," the only colors used in the game are black and white. And the music is particular with retro game-like pico-pico sound.
*There is also an element where the game screen can be colored by making in-app purchases.



Although this is a roguelike game, it can be played easily by simply swiping the screen. The map itself is not large, and it is easy to advance. The rogue-like nature of the game is still present: when a character moves, the enemies move as well. Weapons are stored in treasure chests, and it is up to the player to decide what he or she will find.



To advance to the next floor, a staircase appears by pressing a randomly placed switch. It is the player's choice whether to press the switch and immediately move on, open the treasure chest to obtain a weapon, or defeat the enemy to advance. Why not play this title, which has something nostalgic about it?

 


When you think of the setting for a roguelike game, you may imagine a Western fantasy world. In fact, there is also a game set in Japan. The main character in this game is a ninja, who is very popular among foreign players. What kind of dungeon is it?



This title is an orthodox roguelike game in which the buttons at the bottom of the screen are used to move and attack characters. However, the characters and the world view are Japanese style. The main character is a ninja, and the enemy characters are "ghosts" (yokai), which fits the Japanese style setting.



Enemies in the dungeon, of course, will attack you. When fighting multiple enemies, it is recommended to fight in the passageway instead of in a large room. In a passageway, you can fight one-on-one, which reduces the damage you receive. If you fight in a room, you will be one against many enemies, and you will receive an onslaught. The techniques introduced above are the basics of roguelike game strategy, so please refer to them and try to play the game.


A "rogue game" with a slightly different atmosphere from the three roguelike games introduced so far. By pressing the "Start from the beginning" button, you are invited into a mysterious world.



The story begins suddenly. This work is an RPG-like work in which you advance while reading the text. There is no particular map to explore. It is a simple command selection system, so anyone can enjoy it.



As you read the story, you will experience something a little strange. For example, a carrot-like character appears as an enemy, as shown in this screen. At this point, the player can only choose whether to fight or flee. Depending on the choice, the story will be affected.


The game has a unique worldview that you would not normally think of, and I think you will be able to get into the world of the game. It's a bit of an unusual game, but I hope you will give it a try. (New Samurai)
