Our Expert Score

80/100

Cavern is a classic 'roguelike' that prioritizes depth and challenge over flashy graphics. It’s a dungeon crawler in its purest form—procedurally generated levels, permadeath, and a wide array of loot. Every step you take matters, as resources are scarce and enemies are unforgiving.

The turn-based combat is strategic; you have to consider your positioning and your inventory at every turn. It captures the 'just one more run' feeling perfectly because you learn something new every time you die. For fans of old-school RPGs and challenging dungeon dives, Cavern is a standout title.

Version 2.6.5Mon Oct 25 2021

Fixed UI issues with newer iPhones.


Cavern is a dungeon crawler in the vein of genre classics like Rogue and Nethack - but with original game world not based on any existing roguelike. Each level is randomly generated so no two games are the same.

----

Cavern was full of ancient treasure which surface people dug up to keep their high standards of living. Caves were inhabited by hostile creatures of the nether but Mystery Object of the surface kept the evil weak with it's power. Somehow, creatures of the deep managed to steal the Mystery Object and took it to the deepest levels of the Cavern. Now You, the Hero, must retrieve it before it's powers are used against the Surface!

Features:

•Shops to buy equipment and sell treasure

•Three characters to play:

Fighter : strong melee character.

Adventurer : specialises in bows.

Mystic : uses wands and scrolls.

•Vintage game art by DeBray Bailey

•16 randomly generated dungeons

•In-game tutorial

•Over 40 different monsters

•Randomized item attributes and special unique items.

•Online Highscores and ranking for each game played.

•Saves your exact game state when receiving call or switching to another app.

•Juicy sound effects.

•Permadeath
