Hollows Of Rogue – Adventure Game Review
Hollows Of Rogue is a Adventure/Roleplaying game from Martin Cvengros, first launched in 23rd September 2024.
It’s rated 9+ and currently has 3+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Hollows Of Rogue Stand Out
This game was inspired and influenced by the original Rogue – a 'roguelike' genre defining game from the '80s originally played in Unix text terminals –
but adds many enhancements and refinements in order to allow for more modern user friendly gameplay and easy touch based interaction – all while preserving the original feel and gameplay –
There are many differences to the original to list, among the most important are
- adjustable difficulty settings
- levels in the run are persistent
- quality of life improvements for touch screen devices for easier dungeon navigation and menu/inventory management
- high contrast display option
- more descriptive events and more of them are logged to game log, including all AD rolls
- rebalanced monsters, items and effects stats
- several new items
- new sounds effects for monsters and effects
- stomach of the hero is also always full – there is no hunger mechanic

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
After a recent update broke portrait mode, it also crashes when tapping resume game.
Its a really fun game, recommend it for sure. There are few improvements that would make it even better. A list of entities somewhere in settings, showing what their tiles/ascii characters represent in game. First time encounters with unknowns are impossible to identify. A button to show what entities are nearby in a room, would be great. Also a screen that shows what potions and scrolls have been discovered if playing with unknown items (Brogue does this). So far really enjoying the game. Looking forward to new updates.
