Why I hate The Sword of Fargoal

by on Dec.13, 2009, under Game Review, iPhone

This is by no means our full review of Fargoal for the iPhone but I needed to tell you why I hate this game… It’s so good I can’t stop playing it! It is now eating into what little time I have as it is to sleep!

This game is fantastic. Great tile set, tons to explorer, and the game is different everytime you start over. It highlights some of the great aspects of rogue like games and removes some of the complexities. You can collect gold, magic spells, level up your character, and explorer the dungeons but you don’t have to worry about eating corpses, dipping stuff in fountains, etc… Don’t get me wrong, I love nethack. I have wasted tons of time playing nethack on nethack.alt.org and it’s fun. I think Fargoal will create a fun rogue like experience for casual users and maybe some will move on to more complex rogue-likes, such as nethack.

Fargoal is a couple dollars really well spent. You will have a great time with this. Random dungeon generation also gives this game a superior level of replayability as well.

Go ahead and pick it up then kiss a decent chunk of your free time good bye!
