About Oubliette
If you wish to try the game before you buy, there is a Lite version available which give you full access to the first 2 levels.
Version 2.1 of Oubliette is a major update with a number of new features:
- It is now possible to have multiple users on the same device, each with their own set of game data. To create a new users simply select the 'Switch User' option from the main screen and enter a new user name.
- You can now both buy and sell items in the shop. In addition, you can find random non-basic items for sale.
- The Fireball, Lightning Bolt and Ice Storm spells now target only one monster group, and no longer do any damage to the party.
- The inventory system has been reworked. There is now one master pack which is shared by all characters. You will no longer need to transfer items from one character to another.
- The upper levels have been made easier, and the lower levels harder You will only get one monster group when you are on level one, one or two monster groups on level 2, up to three monster groups on levels 3 through 7, up to 4 monster groups on levels 8 & 9, and up to 5 groups on level 10.
- The gold situation is much improved at the beginning of the game. You will start with less gold, but should be able to find sufficient gold to be able to rest.
- The aging has been reduced. You now will age by weeks instead of months.
- Special rooms now yield new unique items with new powers as well as portal gems.
- Dungeon level 11 has been added, complete with a final boss.
- Both phone and tablet devices are now supported.
- Many minor improvements have been made which are too numerous to mention.
Oubliette is the classic multiplayer dungeon fantasy role playing game, finally available on Android phones. Build a party of fighters, priests, mages and thieves to run deep into the dungeon. Test your courage and skill against groups of orcs, trolls, vampires and dragons.
Earning its reputation as the thinking man's dungeon game, Oubliette blends the thrill of mortal combat with the sublime challenges of strategy, planning and adaptation. Rather than testing your reaction speed and nerves, like a first person shooter, Oubliette challenges the player to do
careful strategic planning as well as make tactical decisions in the heat of battle.
Each player (character) in the game is created from one of eight player races, which vary in attributes such as strength, intelligence, dexterity and durability. Elves are highly intelligent and (potentially) immortal, Orcs are strong with short life spans, Dwarves are strong with high wisdom, Kobolds are quite weak in most areas but advance more quickly.
Depending on these attributes, each player will be qualified to join a limited number of player classes (occupations). More balanced players will have more choices, including Hirebrand (fighter), Mage, Priest and Thief. Less commonly, players may be qualified for a highly selective class with special skills such as Ranger, Sage, Paladin, Samurai or Ninja.
Unlike games which focus on a single player against multiple opponents, Oubliette allows a party of up to 10 players with complementary skills to face the various types of monsters found in the dungeon. There are more than 160 different monsters, and to deal with them, more than 150 different pieces of equipment, which may be enchanted with special properties or skills.
Oubliette is challenging, but forgiving. New players commonly have their parties wiped out by an unfamiliar group of monsters. In fact, your party can meet up to 3 monster groups at the same time! Use the Temporal Chamber to save a Temporal Portal before dangerous trips. If things turn out badly, use the Temporal Chamber to turn back the clock and try again. The trapeze is every bit as thrilling, but safer, with a net below.
Explore the easier levels of the dungeon to build your party and expertise. And then, when you are ready, feel the power of the game on the deeper levels. Onward to Glory!

Kick ass game for oldschool dungeon romps, akin to Wizardry 1-5. A comnt about "pay to save" is wrong; it saves like roguelikes. U can pay to savescum

This is an excellent remake of the game that "inspired" Wizardry. If you like that series of games, do something the Wizardry folks never did and offer up some credit/$ to the Oubliette team for their work starting the genre.

If this game had customizable characters ( at least one dark skin human avatar option) it would be 5 stars!! Oubliette is full of character, sophistication and complexity. This is a game for those with high standards. BRAVO!

My only qualm with the game is in character creation. You should be able to choose what gender you want the character to be, and not let it be randomized. Everything else about the game is great. 4.75 out of 5 in my opinion. Great job on revisiting old school dungeon crawls.

And I'm Daddy - lol. I played Obliette to death on an IBM PC with a CP/M emulator. This and Wizardry hooked me for life. I was just browsing the app store, looking for a game for my tablet. I did not want another "tosser" or bird shoot! Ran across this and bought it on the spot. Beware! It is not a pansy hold your hand game! You will lose characters you become attached too if you just rush in! Runs like a charm, the extra download data (30+MB) came in so fast, makes the last Gameloft download look positively glacial. Thank you GabySoft! (Get us a Wizardry! )

It a little bit like might and magic 1. Start with the light version and when you upgrade to the full version you will be able to keep your progress. Tips 2 samurai and 4 ranger any race will do but I prefer the elf for not dying of old age.

I’m not sure if people know, but Oubliette is actually a classic game from 1983 – but it’s nice to see that they have kept the original’s charm while adding additional content such as an 11th level, secret rooms and a boss battle. The game itself is simple, but it’s well implemented and the party/character building is spot on. Any fan of Eye of the Beholder, Dungeon Master or party-based rogue-likes will be at home here. Battles aren’t very complex, but the strategy really comes when weighing up the risks and rewards – do you use your spells/potions or will you need them later? While I would enjoy something with a bit more depth outside of character creation and combat, Oubliette is easily the best native Android RPG I’ve seen. One change I'd like to see: Would love gender to be selectable rather than have it random. And if the dev was to consider an all new Oubliette II, I'd love to see Eye of the Beholder style side quests and puzzles added in the mix. Considering how easy it would be to port, I’m shocked (and somewhat annoyed) that there haven’t been any Might & Magic or Eye of the Beholder ports on the market – but thankfully Oubliette offers a compelling alternative.

If you remember the DOS version, the Android version is a faithful update with first person perspective. Those who missed it on their home computer can experience the magnificence of an Eye of the Beholder or Dungeon Master style game, executed extrordinarily well. Difficulty is higher than others in the genre, but much easier than the PLATO version. Be smart and cautious to succeed. I love the improvements to inventory and the ability to save progres via Portal Gems. Multiplayer please, if possible!

First of all, the game requires an additional 22 megs to run *after* installation. Secondly, every time I shut my phone off the game uninstalls. This last update wants 22 more megs. And none of this extraordinary memory demand is reflected in the game itself. Ive had girlfriends who were lower maintenance than this game.

Great game overall, love that you can slow down and speed up combat as needed. Tons of awesome items to find and use. Not overly hard (though I still regularly get wiped out in lvl 10 and haven't got to lvl 11 yet). Use your temporal gems and save regularly and you will be fine. There are a few minor things that bum me out but overall I really enjoy it. Reminds me of Wizardry which was one of my favorite old school regular Nintendo games when I was a kid.

I am particular about my games. ...and this is "my game!." I love the way it takes me back every time I open the app. DO NOT CLEAR YOUR CACHE! I made that mistake and lost it all. Don't be afraid though. I simply wiped my phone so I could reinstall it! Ya, it is that good IMHO. Game on. Leaves you wanting more but not before you appreciate spending the money. I'd spend more for more gear & more levels...only for the appreciation of the game.

I'd actually give this 5 stars but then I'd seem like a fanboy. What it is: dungeon crawl, mix of classes, character creation and gold management are Important, mostly random fights and a set map. What it is not: Hold your hand and guide you to instant l33tness. You gotta earn that. Good game. Easy to blow a bunch of time leveling and exploring :)

Worst waste of $ yet on app store. After grinding 2hrs a day for a month my PCs are 40-44th level and still can't beat the Lord of Death in the final secret chamber! 6 rounds of my 6 Sages & 1 Ranger throwing the highest level spell each round & 2 Samauri doing the same = you still all just die. Cute extra level the developer added for purely TPK. What happened to classic grind-fest TPK games like this from yore? They dissapeared for a reason.

Excellent game! A timeless classic dungeon experience, and not for the faint of heart. After 4 months of playing I am still working towards the lower levels, encountering new monsters and discovering new equipment. The developer responds to questions via the forum on his website, and keeps an open dialouge with players. Much of the game is based on probabilities & the chance of things happening, so there is a sense of surprise to keep players engaged. Try it and you won't be able to stop playing!

Oubliette has its roots in a masterfully written multiplayer RPG from the dawn of computer gaming. Not only is this a faithful rendition, but it has a few features gleaned from the decades of RPG development without sacrificing the flavour of the original. Customer support is A+ with the Dev himself responding to all questions within hours of sending! In short, this is the best few dollars I ever spent on an app. The only thing I can ask for is a little more variety in the monster graphics. ;-)

I recently upgraded from Lite and havent regretted it. Each time into the dungeon ia different and each time you go deeper you are always wondering if any one of your characters might never see the light of day again. This game bring back so many memories and I only have 1 complaint about it: the deire to level faster and get deeper into the dungeon! This game is perfect for any rpg crawler fan and those, like myself, who grew up playing Eye of the Beholde. The mod is amazing! 5 star!!

The graphics are old but the game will surprise you. There is a forum if you neef help. I had a question about one of the spells and the developer responded with in less than a day. Many unique enchanted items, enemies witj multiple abilities, real character rolling, location and treasure spells and scrolls, traped treasure boxes, ninjas and samurais. The list goes on.

As someone who spent more than a few hours playing the Commodore-64 version of Oubliette 25 years ago this is a great adaptation of the classig RPG. It's probably not for lovers of modern, live-combat oriented RPGs but is a lot of fun for someone who enjoyed the original. Other than the better graphics it's pretty much the exact same game from what I can remember, with a few additional twists and turns. Great game!

Here's my experience: take 1 step, fight 12 monsters. Take 1 step, fight 12 monsters. Repeat until your magic is gone. I couldn't get any where without feeling like I was drowning in monsters. Very frustrating. I wouldn't mind having to search around for a fight.
