RogueRun - Abyss Tower
A pixel hack-and-slash roguelike played with two taps, where the day's dungeon is the same for everyone.
Every day: In Exploration mode the tower's dungeon stays the same all day and is the same for every player, so the day's layout can be learned and shared. New puzzle: Once a day.
RogueRun: Abyss Tower is a pixel-art action roguelike for phones, controlled by tapping the left or right side of the screen. In Exploration mode the generated dungeon stays fixed for the whole day and every player tackles the same stages, so you can retry it and compare notes. A Deep Exploration mode makes a new layout every run.
About RogueRun - Abyss Tower
RogueRun: Abyss Tower is a side-on action roguelike set in a tall tower of generated pixel dungeons. Your hero runs automatically in the direction you tap, and tapping on the left or right side triggers turns, jumps, wall climbs, rolls and attacks.
It is made by ZOO Corporation and came to the App Store in 2021.
The daily part is the normal Exploration mode. Its dungeon does not change during the day, so if you fall you can try the same stage again and remember the map, and since every player gets the same stages that day, explorers can share tips about the layout. The next day brings a new dungeon. Deep Exploration mode is the classic roguelike option, with a different layout on each attempt.
Between runs you strengthen swords, spears, staves and other weapons using materials you carry out of the dungeon, merge weapons of the same type, and dress your character in gear that changes the avatar. It suits players who like short action runs on a phone and the idea of learning one map a day.
How to play RogueRun - Abyss Tower
- Open RogueRun and enter the tower in Exploration mode for today's dungeon.
- Tap the left or right side of the screen to run, turn and jump.
- Fight enemies, climb walls and roll past danger as you descend through the stages.
- Collect materials and treasure, then return to strengthen your weapons.
- Retry the same daily dungeon, using what you learned about its layout.
