How it feels

A fast-paced, old-school action RPG with roguelike elements where you repeatedly fight through randomly generated dungeons and develop your fortress.

What players say

Players are split on Pocket Rogues. Some love the old-school Gauntlet-like hack and slash action and see it as a dream game from the 80s. Others say the game has been in early access for eight years, with listed online co-op never actually implemented, broken starting skills, and weak class balance that makes the game feel abandoned and repetitive after a dozen hours.
