About Voyage to Farland

"Mystery Dungeon" style roguelike RPG! Quirky and fun but very challenging. Yes, it's hard. But you're not afraid of a hard video game, right?

Use magic items, morph into monsters, find friends to fight alongside you! Use keen strategy rather than grinding for levels and you'll clear the dungeon!

NOTE: Currently seems to be a glitch on recent Samsung devices (Note 5, Galaxy S6, S7, etc.). A workaround is to install the free Samsung Game Tuner app from Google play, set the mode to Custom and adjust the Resolution Ratio for Voyage to Farland to 100%.

NEW: on small screen devices you can now select controls with the DPAD at bottom left.

What’s a roguelike RPG and how does it play? It’s a classic video game style and here are a couple of strategies...

Strategy A) - attack everything in sight head-on. Result: your character will die quickly and often.

Strategy B) - learn about the powers of the items you find. For example, find a cursed “Empty Vial”, throw it at a "Ghost" to capture its soul. Then later drink the vial, become a Ghost and float through walls to escape danger. Or grab a “Levelup Bead”, wave it at a friendly character - he’ll level up and help you fight, or drop it on the ground, let a "Catapult" monster pick it up & toss it at you - you’ll level up and be able to pound monsters into the ground. But ouch! The "Nosferatu" monsters are too powerful!?! (Nosferatu is a type of vampire, Google it), yet they’re undead and undead monsters are vulnerable to medicinal herbs, like that "Wormwood" you just picked up!

In short, roguelike games offer a rich experience for gamers seeking something beyond casual games.

Notes: save your game at any point, but Voyage to Farland uses hardcore Rogue rules (death=start over no items). Think of it as "tough love".

5 themed dungeons, 39 monster types with devious attacks, over 30 items and 4 NPCs you can recruit to help you fight!

Hints: try the training dungeon first, equip a shield as soon as possible, make good use of the herbs/beads/scroll's secret powers (tap INV, then select Explain from the item's sub menu - use the DPAD or swipe up/down in the center of the touchscreen to scroll in menus). Find an empty vial, use it to capture & morph into a monster to really throw down and you'll be hooked.

Notes:
Despite the cute graphics, Voyage to Farland is one of the harder roguelike games in the Android market/Google Play. It's not a grindfest. Levels don't matter. Cleared dungeons are what matter in this game. You'll be tested from the very first floor. Many players dive in, attack everything, die quickly and get frustrated. This game demands a more clever approach. Until you find a shield you'll have to pick your battles wisely. Voyage has been on the market for over two years and yet only two players have cleared every dungeon (shout-out to Paul and Rodney!). You might be the third if you have patience, perseverance and a will to win! Some gamers want to kill time with mobile games. That's fine, but you're not like that. You want a challenge. You want to face the Spirit Witch and defeat her. You want to be the first adventurer to enter "The Path of No Return" and beat the dungeon once and for all. To unlock the secrets of Farland.

Love this game! Please update!

C70%
by C####:

Beware, game is not for the faint of heart. It is a classic Roguelike in terms of challenge, which means you will die a lot. There are lots of tricks to learn though that make the game easier, but fun and rewarding. Potential buyers with note 5 and s6 samsung phones, there is a fairly large graphical glitch rendering the game unplayable. Will update review when/if the issue is fixed with future updates. Developer has been fantastic in his response to my issue earlier, great service and passionate.

K70%
by K####:

I can't find them. Beaten everything but the 'vial trials' can't find the entrance?

Z70%
by Z####:

Holy crap, my initial review was harsh! But the comfortable controls make a huge difference, I'll definitely be playing this while I wait for my Valkerie Crusade vitality to refill. I played waaaaay too much Shiren on DS, so I'll probably do the same here.

X70%
by X####:

I want to stab this game in the face and I can't stop playing it. Everything you like about Shiren and the main dungeon is a 30 minute run. DO IT.

Z70%
by Z####:

Easily one of the best roguelike's on the Android market! Edit: Recent update added a way more comfortable control scheme, with the D-pad in the lower left corner, and the dash in the lower right corner. Plus the new content.

E70%
by E####:

This is a really cool game, similar to one of my favorite games ever, Shiren the Wanderer. But as other people have already said, the button layout and graphics need changing. Big time. The control pad should be on the bottom left, not the top left. The buttons on the bottom right are stretched out of the correct aspect ratio and look weird. Some of the graphics are really blurry. Basically, with a complete interface overhaul and cleaner graphics it would probably be my favorite game for Android.

T70%
by T####:

Great little rogue-like and a perfect introduction to the genre for those who have not played this style of game before. Developer is extremely responsive and quickly fixed the multi-touch issue I had on ICS.

I70%
by I####:

This game is excellent for its style. Other reviewers need to realize this is an old school roguelike style game, not Diablo 3. It's supposed to look old. The controls work fine on my phone and the game is fun.

Z70%
by Z####:

Great game in serious need of a professional artist. Some sprites have solid colors, others are a mess of ugly gradients and blurs (the Tinbots, for example.) Also some areas have a grid (which I actually prefer for this sort of game) and other areas do not. The starting village also has a horrible layout which you will loathe navigating, despite its small size. My tablet allows multi touch but the multi touch controls don't work (thankfully there's a second button layout.) Finally the "miss" and "level-up" sounds seem more like place holders than final sounds. I hope we see improvement, the gameplay is 5-star!

Z70%
by Z####:

The reviews for this were great so gave it a go. The control stick being at the top of the screen put me off very quickly. Very poor layout design. Means your thumb goes over the screen to move around. Seriously hindering the viewing area. Made the game unplayable for me.

Dev stands behind his work and listens to feedback. Bonus star. Some issues with sleep state and could use a loading screen or indicator that the dev

B70%
by B####:

Would be better with a few difficulty options...and hit floor 9 only to be ambushed by like 10 mobs...felt cheap

Z70%
by Z####:

Fun and addictive game, but terribly unbalanced... Death in 3rd dungeon because no food was spawned at all... isn't really fun...

A70%
by A####:

Very hard. Very addictive. Great fun.

Z70%
by Z####:

Good action and control. Addictive and fun.
