Hello all. I recently discovered I kind of like RPGs. However, they can be overwhelming for a newb like me, so what are some simple games to dip my proverbial toes in? I like the kind where you die a lot and have to keep starting over with more upgrades and better stuff, like Infinity Blade and Dungelot. I guess that's called a "rouguelike"? Free is good, as I'm still trying to figure out what I like at this point. Any help?
Cavern is great. Also the Kingturn (SRPG) games are free to download and try. The following RPGs are more streamlined and might be better for beginners: Dungeons & Such QuestLord Nameless: The Hackers RPG Cthulhu Saves the World AurumnBlade is a free action RPG; same with Dragon Knight IV. WarlordRevival and Doom&Destiny are both more recent JRPG style games worth trying.
There are a lot of good steamlined/simplified roguelikes or roguelikelikes on iOS if that's what you're looking for. Off the top of my head: Cardinal Quest 100 Rogues Endless Depths RPG Cavern Bit Dungeon Dungeon Plunder Minotaur Maze
RPG Quest: Minimæ fits the bill -- RPGs don't come much simpler. For a dawn of the App Store title, it's still getting updates.
