I've been "trying netheck" for well over a decade now and still haven't come close to beating it. The lack of info and UI are kind of the point. In my case, even with spoilers to help, I'm a walking YASD. With that being said, the Nethack ports to iPhone can't come close to recreating the experience, so I look forward to this getting re-released. Can't believe I missed downloading it in the two day window that it was actually available.
This is official while the first was done by a third party using his freely available source code. If you find any issues you're much more likely to get a fix from the game's original dev.
Sure. But what's highly coincidental is how this is EXACTLY the same. Like even the app icon. EVERYTHING. If it was done by a third party, you'd expect some differences somewhere. Anyway, I'm just saying. I've got the pulled one, I'll likely get this one too, but more likely in the future if there's updates.
They are based on the same publicly available code. Remember when there were all of those IDENTICAL 2048 clones? If one has the code to make a game that includes EVERYTHING.
Don't even care. Best dungeon crawler rogue like on the AppStore. Just sad I have to get my book of mastery unlocked on my characters again. So much more fun when you can start a new game with the subclasses. Seriously - just get the damn thing. Been playing the pulled version more than any other app. The controls are on point, the graphics are charming, and the replay value is insane.
So the version link here is for sure the official release? In other words, it's not another version which will get pulled in 24-48h? I love the game, I want to support the dev and I'll happily buy it if this is the final/real official version. EDIT: oh, and if any mod sees this, could you fix the thread so that it points to the new version? Or create a new thread and let this one die... IDK...
No landscape mode in this one. Probably because of a bug where it would play the intro sound and resize the view whenever switching from portrait to landscape (this bug was in the unoffical port, which uses mostly the same code base), so i'd expect that to be fixed soon. Glad I have the other one as well becaues i mostly play in landscape. Looking forward to future updates for this one though, and didnt hesitate to grab it despite having the unoffical port already. Also, mods need to close this thread and open a new one for the offical port, which has different name. I'd like to see some coverage on this too, given that it's the most significant roguelike on Android with millions of downloads and a very active community.
Finally I can try it. Alteady wish for an alternative control option. I don't like touch to go... I wanna rest my fingers at one place. Would love to see something like in Sword of Fargoal, soft swipes to move your character, that was perfect.
I got it via the Link above. Apart from this It does not show up in the appstore nor is it in my recent purchase list.
Yes, it's the official release. You can find it on the official facebook page or twitter https://twitter.com/watawatabou
Apart from the controls, the only other thing that bugs me: the music is pretty annoying. That cute little loop is way to short! Would prefer more atmospheric stuff to dive into the randomly created world. But the current music is annoying before I even reached level 3.
I opened a thread for the official release, so all the posts regarding the new version should go there
