    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?

    Or get SOL Stone of Life instead. Also from Oddy Arts. Very similar to Aurum Blade, but has 360-degree movement. IAPs are not needed at all, and since it's free, it's a good idea to purchase an item pack a little later into the game to help the devs crank out more quality KRPGs.

    Korean RPG. Just like JRPG means games in Japanese style.
    I don't play KRPGs normally, but from what I know they are heavy on grinding and leveling up your characters and items.

    KRPGs are button mashy action oriented top down hack/slash style games usually characterized by anime influences, enemy swarms/respawns, and emphasizing items (so fetch quests). They're twisted descendents of Zelda - examples include Zenonia series, Inotia series, Master of Dungeon, CrimsonHeart, Exitium, etc.

    KRPGs usually don't have randomized levels but I can second recommendations for AurumnBlade and Quadropus Rampage.

    Ditto. This is my one of my favorite iOS KRPG.

    Another Master of Dungeon. Get the plus version of MOD and you'll be set. Great game.

    Does Aurum blade or Stone of life have randomly generated dungeons? As usual I can't tell from the engrish descriptions.

    AurumBlade has randomized "Power Dungeon" area where you can access once daily for free (or get more tickets from IAP) that is randomized - meant as a challenge grind for higher level loot. [This sounds like silly over the top freemium but it's actually fun with cool perks]

    I have Quadropus Rampage, it's great.

    However, my quest to find a KRPG game with randomized dungeons is still ongoing. I understand that Aurumn Blade has optional random dungeons but I'm looking for a game built around the fact that they're all randomly generated.

    For those who've played it, do you know if Master of Dungeon fits the bill?

    KRPGs usually don't have randomized worlds; I suspect this is in part due to an emphasis on items and fetch quests. 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.

    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.

    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.

    +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.

    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.

    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.
