"Mystery Dungeon" style roguelike RPG! Quirky and fun but very challenging. Yes, it's hard. But you're not afraid of a hard video game, right?
Use magic items, morph into monsters, find friends to fight alongside you! Use keen strategy rather than grinding for levels and you'll clear the dungeon!

Whats a roguelike RPG and how does it play? Its a classic video game style and here are a couple of strategies...

Strategy A) - attack everything in sight head-on. Result: your character will die quickly and often.

Strategy B) - learn about the powers of the items you find. For example, find a cursed Empty Vial, throw it at a "Ghost" to capture its soul. Then later drink the vial, become a Ghost and float through walls to escape danger. Or grab a Levelup Bead, wave it at a friendly character - hell level up and help you fight, or drop it on the ground, let a "Catapult" monster pick it up & toss it at you - youll level up and be able to pound monsters into the ground. But ouch! The "Nosferatu" monsters are too powerful!?! (Nosferatu is a type of vampire, Google it), yet theyre undead and undead monsters are vulnerable to medicinal herbs, like that "Wormwood" you just picked up!

In short, roguelike games offer a rich experience for gamers seeking something beyond casual games.

Notes: save your game at any point, but Voyage to Farland uses hardcore Rogue rules (death=start over no items). Think of it as "tough love".

4 themed dungeons, 36 monster types with devious attacks, over 30 items and 3 NPCs you can recruit to help you fight!

Hints: try the training dungeon first, equip a shield as soon as possible, make good use of the herbs/beads/scroll's secret powers (tap INV, then select Explain from the item's sub menu - use the DPAD or swipe up/down in the center of the touchscreen to scroll in menus). Find an empty vial, use it to capture & morph into a monster to really throw down and you'll be hooked.

Notes:
Despite the cute graphics, Voyage to Farland is one of the harder roguelike games in the Android market/Google Play. It's not a grindfest. Levels don't matter. Cleared dungeons are what matter in this game. You'll be tested from the very first floor. Many players dive in, attack everything, die quickly and get frustrated. This game demands a more clever approach. Until you find a shield you'll have to pick your battles wisely. Voyage has been on the market for over two years and yet only two players have cleared every dungeon (shout-out to Paul and Rodney!). You might be the third if you have patience, perseverance and a will to win! Some gamers want to kill time with Angry Birds or Battleheart. That's fine, but you're not like that. You want a challenge. You want to face the Spirit Witch and defeat her. You want to be the first adventurer to enter "The Path of No Return" and beat the dungeon once and for all. To unlock the secrets of Farland.

Just a heads up for Shiren/Mystery Dungeon fans that I released a new Android version of Voyage (v2.0): option for alternate controls with DPAD at the bottom left, a new dungeon ("The Bot Subplot") and NPC (the ToyRobot) as well as bug fixes and game balance tweaks.

There's also a Chrome browser version that's free, and PC, Linux versions on the website. The latest release of both of those is on Sellbox, but the previous release is downloadable for free, so give it a try.
