Ha, why the hey did you revive this old thread of mine? It's ancient! For those of you wondering... Cavern is awesome. If you like roguelikes, pick that up.
Yeah, I've been playing Cavern all week, it's great. Took a few goes to get into it- a few deaths as well - - realised I was rushing everywhere to fast and running slap bang into trouble. Once I got my head round how the game was played (rather than how I thought it should be played based on other roguelikes) I really started to get into it. Good stuff, compliments Sword of Fargoal and Rogue Touch nicely as well- each of them offer a different enough experience to make them all worthwhile purchases.
Because there was no stand-alone thread for 100 Rogues yet. Cavern? Uh - did I miss that? I'll check.
Yeah, if you liked Rogue Touch, you'll definitely like Cavern. I own all three, Sword of Fargoal, Rogue Touch, and Cavern. If you're looking for the best Rogue port, pick up Rogue Touch. It's basically Rogue with tiles: Very well made. If you're looking for nice graphics and an intense challenge, pick up Sword of Fargoal. If you're looking for a simple roguelike game that is easy to play and fun, pick up Cavern. I personally like Cavern more than Rogue Touch, but it's probably because I got used to Caverns gameplay first; both are great games.
