Intense, engaging and devilishly hard Roguelike RPG granted with a very atmospheric 16 bit feeling.

An extremely enjoyable rogue-like that works really well on iOS (but still, Vita version please).

The fact that Rocketcat have so aptly nailed the ratio of bitter to sweet is an achievement unto itself: rarely does a game as punishing as Wayward Souls bear up so well under repeated playthroughs.

You probably haven’t played anything on iOS to prepare you for Wayward Souls, even its spiritual successor. Some will try this game once and never play it again, while others will revel in the bloodbath.

Perhaps the closest there’ll ever be to a portable version of Dark Souls, but the unreliable controls make the punishing difficulty harder to bare.

Wayward Souls is teeth-grindingly hard, thanks to some loose controls and punishing perma-death, but high replayability and a smart progression system tease you back into the fray.
