    It's hard to find forum friendly screenshots but there are large screenshots, and video, here:

    Note: I e-mailed the developers and they confirmed they are still working on an iPad port due in some months.

    nice! looks like fun. roguelikes are the only game that tends to hold my interest longer than a few hours, i just wish the good ones weren't so few and far between.

    Wait a minute.
    SOTS is a 4X on PC.
    This looks like anything but.
    Are these the same developers?
    Or someone just using the name to grab attention?

    SotS: The Pit is a sci-fi rogue-like based in the SotS universe and by the same devs as the main game. It was released on PC a while back and already has its first DLC, Mindgames.

    They had always said, even on their Kickstarter page, that they HOPED to port their game over to iOS and Android but I'll believe it when I see it. I love the game on the PC and think it should be possible to port it over, but leery of vague and hazy developer promises from a small developer that has never released on iOS before. :)

    Also worth noting that their dedication to their PC game is AMAZING! Since the release of their expansion in July they've addressed every user found issue (as well as some probably only they knew) in near weekly patches. These patches not only fixed broken aspects but routinely found ways to improve the UI and add new content (crafting recipes, items, and monsters). Even cooler, at any point one of these new patches broke something (which happens when kicking these puppies out so fast), they'd routinely get out a hotfix on Steam within just a couple of days.

    I assume they mean "keep their eyes on this one".

    No problem. I learned a fun idiom thing from my Dutch wife.

    English: Take a picture.
    Dutch: Make a picture.
    Belgian: Pull a picture.

    A recent post from Kerberos Productions indicates that this port is still on track:
    The game has now expanded with 4 DLCs, raising the total character count to 11, 40 floors of evil and tons of enemies/recipes/skills.

    Haha, I knew you would be totally excited, seeing it on iOS! You are over 210 hrs into it already, if I remember correctly?
    I am very excited, too. The game is just great.
    You remember that you were the one infecting me with this game? I bought it (plus all expansions) because you've "reasoned" me into it. :D
