This is the most addictive iOS game that Ive ever played (and I dont typically game on phones). HOL is in reality, closer to GAUNTLET than it is to a true "roguelike" per se; its a real time (vs. turn based) action-packed slugfest, although the dungeon levels are randomized, which is awesome. The UI is basic and simple and easy enough that both vets and beginners alike will love this dungeon crawl. Sometimes the controls can be difficult (when you try to turn on a dime with the speedy elf, it can feel "slippery") but Im sure the game would be best played with a game controller vs. a touch screen. Regardless, if you grew up playing GAUNTLET and/or love fun, addictive, simple dungeon crawls with "roguelite" elements, buy this game! Its comforting to know that if the upcoming GAUNTLET 2014 title (coming to Steam this summer) ends up sucking, fans will already have the true GAUNTLET sequel: HEROES OF LOOT.
