NetHack

This was an era of possibilities. It relied on imagination and good storytelling to make its world live and breathe. Honestly, I don't know if I want to go back to where the RPG marketing looks like a gaudily decorated Asian restaurant. This is where I'd rather spend my adventuring time.

Great port, love this game. For size complaints: try your volume buttons to zoom.

There are SO many things you can do in this game. Just as fun as when i first played years ago. Great job!

Nethack is a great game on a PC, but using the same keyboard-based control in this mobile version makes the playing experience rather painful.

Good port of NetHack. Phone rang and the player file for what would have been first ascention was corrupted and NetHack couldn't recover it. Unfortunately can't find good Telnet app to play NAO from Android.

Could just be me but the darn thing won't let me past the initial "please choose where to install data files". If this is just due to a mistake on my part, please, someone point me in the right direction

Excellent implementation of nethack!! Just a bit buggy after awhile. n1

Keyboard is rendered terribly. Image only shows in corner but actual keyboard takes the whole area. GS7.

Sometimes won't load saved game, someone's loads game and then freezes after a couple of moves.

Keeps crashing and doesn't support mapping the meta-key, otherwise a great Nethack port.

Controls are a bit awkward, but don't detract from the great game that this port is.

Brilliant to have NetHack on the android, but the interface implementation makes it cumbersome to play.

All you people complaining about the key layouts need to get a grip, its fine and no issue on a virtual KB.

I'm using the 'Android TTY' display mode and vi-keys (hjkl) movement, and it works really great. You kind of have to use the built-in keyboard, though, since it won't recognize control characters from Hacker's Keyboard.

Game freezes and must be killed anytime I do #quit or q after death. This only happens since the last update. Moto Droid. Still a great game/port.

This is where it all began for the Rpg fans. :D This is one of da earliest games of this genre, from 1985

SKYRIM IS BETTER! Fix it then 5 stars.. It just bunch of ascii text.. Even a 5 year old can do it...

Unfortunately, a direct port has no concession to a touchscreen or the limitations of a software keyboard. There are better Nethack ports free on the market. Try the version by Gurr, instead.

NetHack is a classic and lots of fun. Unfortunately, this is a pretty direct port of a game that really expects a keyboard. Interactions could be much more enjoyable if the controls were remade with tablets in mind.

Amazing game. So glad to have nethack for android. Works great too!

As far as I can tell this is a flawless port. OSK can be frustrating and I wish it was easier to specify defaults.nh and Options e.g. auto_pickup...

direction interface needs better design for a touch screen eg an arrow keyboard

I agree that the interface is kind of bad for nethack, no numberpad or comma key makes moving and managing items on the ground awkward.

Controls are still quite complex, but they have made some improvements over the original. Better tilesets would be great, but would require a talented pixel artist who doesn't rely on cartoonizing everything.

Decent port of nethack to Android. However the selection lists are buggy when the list cross several screens. Nethack by gurr has a much smoother GUI.

Still prefer this port. Feels much cleaner, except for the handling of --more-- maybe.

Awesome playing this port with a slide out keyboard. Looting with center click a good idea

Its NetHack, nothing else needs to be said.

A fine piece of work, Fredrik. HTC Dream.

Decent game, but the other version of this game on android (with the blue shield icon) is simply the best. Many more options, more (built-in) tiles, & cheat mode included!

Not adapted for a touch interface, so borderline pointless on a touchscreen phone (screen taken by virt keyboard)

Having to use the virtual keyboard to do pretty much anything makes it extremely hard to enjoy the game. But still, good effort.

To load save, enter the same name. Better than gurr for some things, worse for others.

Excellent port. Best part is that the game is so dark, it doesn't use much battery, IME.

Excellent port of an excellent game! Takes some getting used to for someone who used to play Nethack with a PC keyboard, but it is perfectly playable. I strongly recommend this to any Nethack-fans out there!

My all-time favourite game! Thanks for porting :)

Please support the higher resolution of the galaxy tab! 1024x600

Only a single problem: when I choose the quit option after death, my score is not entered into the top ten list. Edit: oh, I'd also like to use my own keyboard, instead of the one built into the game. An option to change would be nice.
