I've been playing this game for about 15 years with my brother and my late father (rest in peace) and none of us have ever even come close to beating it. So sad that he couldn't have bore witness to all the promising runs eviscerated by a Griffin or Medusa since his passing. One day I will have kids, and I'm not sure I'll ever beat this game in my lifetime, however I will pass down my wisdom for generations until somebody in my lineage finally beats this fucking game. 11/10, truly one of the best games ever made and influential beyond description.

Rogue - Review So, that's where it all began - the first rogue-like title. It might feel a little archaic if you've never played it before, but after you spend an hour or two on getting used to the controls and the gameplay, it's hella addicting. Just the idea of each playthrough being different made me want to play the game more and more. It might sound a wee bit stupid now, since it's nothing revolutionary in 2024, but it was a big thing, back when the game was released. If you want to know more about a huge piece of gaming history, go ahead and buy Rogue, especially for such a silly price!

My avatar is the cover art of this game. So of course I love Rogue. That said, while I also love Epyx games and everything, this is not my favorite version of Rogue. I much prefer the IBM/DOS freeware version 1.1 of Rogue that was made by the same people that later made this version for commercial release. The Epyx Rogue is different from the IBM/DOS version in that Epyx has the multiplying Slime instead of Snake and your rogue's level number and experience points in the lower right is hidden and replaced by your rank in name only. I'm guessing this was either to not intimidate new players with experience numbers (mind you it was 1985) or to make this tough RNG game even harder by keeping you unaware of how close you may be to leveling up. Epyx also does that graphical effect when you take the stairs or die. To rate this version from 1 to 5 with 5 being the best, I would rate this a 4. Of course this Steam version has DOSBox built-in, but the game is so simple that DOSBox won't ruin the gameplay like it does for some more advanced titles. If you want the tougher version of IBM/DOS's Rogue, you should enjoy this version.

It's nice to see where the whole rogue like/lite genre started. Even with the simple design you can still have fun with this game. Funny thing, i did a similar game in college for my programming class using C++ and i had so much fun. It's been years since i did that game for class and i still have the code just a reminder. For 3 euros or 1.50 on sale this is definitely worth buying just to see where the genre we love started.

Definitely a reason this game inspired whole genres of games that continue to this day. Amazingly it still stands the test of time. Press F1 to find out what the hell you doing and journey ever deeper in to the dungeon of randomly generated doom.
