Calling on all KRPG experts. Most descriptions of these games don't really do them justice do to translation issues, so there might be some games out there I'm missing out on. What I seek is simple: A KRPG style game that has randomly generated / procedurally generated levels, and isn't overly terrible on IAPs. I don't mind paying a premium price either, so long as they won't stick IAPs in my face / ads, etc. Any suggestions?

Some action oriented roguelikes with continuous combat and randomized worlds to consider are The Dungeon, bit Dungeon, or Cardinal Quest. I haven't played Hero Siege yet but that might appeal to you seeming action oriented and randomized. Also some dual stick shooters with RPG elements like Bug Heroes, etc might appeal to you. Jorlen Well-Known Member Jan 7, 2009 1,094 2 38 IT Canada #13 Jorlen, Jan 20, 2014 Thanks UndeadCow. I already own the games you listed and they are great, but I guess what I'm seeking is a game with more permanence, i.e. no rogue-like permadeath, but with emphasis on randomized levels, a good loot system (a la diablo) and some grinding. The closest I've come so far is Pocket RPG, which I really enjoy. However, after each "quest" your character is cleared of all inventory. Obviously, for Pocket RPG this works well as it was designed with this mechanic in mind, but it's not precisely what I'm looking for. My guess is that this game simply does not exist on this platform, which is fine. Perhaps one day it will. MinusZero Well-Known Member Jan 10, 2014 49 0 0 #14 MinusZero, Jan 20, 2014 I don't recall if the dungeons in Master of Dungeons are randomized. There are a lot of them though and the IAP seemed to not be neccissary. It was also one of the better KRPG's I'd played in a while when it first came out. I think there's a free and paid version if you wanted to check it out too. I assume free has adverts. The pro/gold, whatever, starts you with a bunch of in game currency and some other random stuff. awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #15 awp69, Jan 20, 2014 +1. I mentioned this earlier but I also think I may like MoD even better than Stone of Life, although I think both are amongst the best on iOS. Aurum Blade was prior to these, but I kind of thought these were a notch better in having at least a bit more story to them. awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #16 awp69, Jan 22, 2014 Last edited: Jan 22, 2014 Just stopped back in here because this thread made me decide to redownload Master of Dungeon and I wanted to warn the OP and others to NOT buy the "Plus" version. Seems the currency they give you as a bonus is meant to be used in the Premium Shop and it's completely broken. Can't sign into it, can't create a new account, etc. You just get stuck at an empty message box with cancel or OK and that's it. I wonder if Playbean no longer runs the server or whatever is used for it. If you get the game, stick with the free version. Kind of sucks. Jorlen Well-Known Member Jan 7, 2009 1,094 2 38 IT Canada #17 Jorlen, Jan 23, 2014 THanks for the warning, although I haven't gotten around to trying it yet. I'm not really able to get into most games that have IAP (call it OCD) so that pretty much invalidates all KRPGs lol. zdn1042 Well-Known Member May 10, 2013 642 0 0 #18 zdn1042, Jan 23, 2014 I've also been looking into some of the suggestions here.
