Pathos: Nethack Codex

I can't honestly rate this game bcuz, every time I check out my players attributes, I can't c any way of exiting from there. So, I have to hit the back tab on my phone & it exits the whole game & I have to try again. Y is there NO WAY TO EXIT FROM CHECKING MY STATS? Tell me how to do that & then I can give better rating.

Love this game. Definitely a great homage to old nethack style gameplay. The splash screens between levels take a little to long for my taste. A small thing that can be overlooked. Is there a way to get more tilesets? Great job, keep it up.

Man this is the mobile roguelike I've been looking for. I'm a huge PC roguelike player, I own just about all of them. I didn't think I would ever find a mobile one that could grab me and pull me into its depths like this one. I know it's a nethack fork but it's more than that. Even the mechanisms to just play the game on a phone feel special. I really hope you keep working on this. I can't put it down even after beating it I find new ways to win and challenge myself. I'm sure you will be seeing me soon on your discord and subreddit.

I really enjoy this game, great pass time! I just wish there was visible progress for my character ( change in the shown armor even if at least just a standard of whichever light medium heavy armor your skill is highest in. Per Say I enjoy playing as a priest, but whether I'm level 1 or 20 I have the same shown character, I can't advance class to a paladin or something along those lines and I would be very grateful to see progressions in my character at least at levels 5, 10, & 20. Example knight in steel armor to holy Knight in silver armor to paladin in golden armor. As I said though I very much enjoy this game and will likely put a half hour a day in on my way to and back from work and I am grateful that you've put so much work into this game and am excited to watch it grow

The only complaint I have is the multiplayer crashing after a few minutes of starting a game. Other than that this is an excellent game.

I miss some options to more closely imitate the original Nethack. Specifically I'm thinking of allowing even faster graphics animation than the extra option allows for (near instant, like in the old terminals) and the actual classic tileset of black and white ASCII (or something resembling it).

The best mobile port of a Nethack-like I've played. Great, easy-to-use controls and interface, still a fair amount of funny interactions (especially with polymorphing pets), but without all the obscure "but you need to know them" mechanics of vanilla. Plenty of classes, even very challenging ones, and enough variety to keep you interested. Keep up the good work! Can't wait for multiplayer (yes, we saw you hidden there in diagnostics) :)

Dude whats with the Rock Moles!? They totally screwed up the rock puzzle by contstantly moving, even when I wasnt. Is this a bug? Cause thats some BS.

A deep game developed with touch controls in mind ... yes please! The nice graphics are a great bonus. It is clear from the start that this is a labor of love. Thank you very much for this amazing game!

Too much sounds. I got sick of it making an unnecessary, annoying sound every time i just pushed my normal functional buttons.

Can't put my phone down..this game is exciting and fun..thank you devs.

My most played app of dozens easily. Will stay on my phone

Likes to lock up, and crash

The best Android Nethack fork out there. Well done!

Best thing since low fat limbus.

Needs a level editor

Nethack for touchscreen devices done right!!

Is it possible to shorten the storage space?

BEST!!! ANDROID ROGUELIKE EVER!!!

Awesome sauce!

Totally awesome!!!

I grew up on Nethack, and honestly, very few modern RPGs or rogue-likes can compete with Nethack's awesome complexity. This revisit in Pathos is simply the best port I have ever seen. It blows Pixel Dungeons away! It is obvious that the Pathos team really cared about this new vision of Nethack. It is the perfect rogue-like!

Gets laggy for no reason. Have to crash out just to get my phone back. I love the port for android but the bugs are killer. Also, didn't this game have towns in the original? Or am I thinking of angband?

This is my first experience with NetHack and I love every bit of it, my only complaint would be how the app usually gets unresponsive during saving or changing levels, but that might very well be related to my outdated device. I'm also pretty excited to see future updates, especially regarding the little hidden multiplayer feature and quest building.

Overall very fun. Lots of characters to try, lots of ways to die. After a few months I finally got to level 40!!! So many ways and differences in dungeons! Great game!!!

Great game! Load times suck though and are honestly the only thing keeping this from 5 stars.

Basically this game takes the if you can't with your enemy, eat him to a whole another level

An accessible rogue with a lovely ui, however has minimal randomization of levels which kills it but has great potential for improvement. However my biggest gripe with this game and the reason I cant play this anymore is the level layout despite being a randomised roguelike. levels still appear in a 3x 3 square of 9 rooms after many updates of hoping it would be improved in this regard. If the layout was more random ie some levels having more or less than 9 rooms. A more random placement of doors I.e doors on left of room dont lead you to the room immediately left, but may take you to the room above in the level. It would make exploration feel much more interesting. Despite this its a very good game that I hope will continue to improve.

Crashes constantly on my Galaxy S7. Got to mine city and it was basically unplayable as the game would crash after checking one or two rooms and resetting all my progress.

Can you also add animation to the character im controlling and the item and enemys UPDATE: thank you for responding, i hope you get help eventually, but great game!

Very good, perhaps the best roguelike on the Android store

This game is so addicting!

i really enjoy this game keep up the good work

Best roguelike game on Android.

Amazing totally free game

[suggestion] finally nethack! can you add 8 axis movement? [reply to dev] yes, I meant diagonal. okay, now I know the concept. but can you make the character to pause the walk if there is enemy spotted? doesnt meant to compare, but pixel dungeon's system is nice

Years I been playing D&D, rolemaster etc.. Tryied to find suitable app that will deliver good D&D action this is it and much more.

Best rogue-like interface for a phone I've seen.

[Edit because for some reason my review didn't post in it's entirety..] This game really is addicting as heck, and while basically is just a tileset for NetHack, it works brilliantly. Only issue I had, which may be attributed to my phone itself is that there's a frequent stutter to the game like clockwork every 5 seconds no matter what is happening. Other than that, I love how there's no ads or in app purchases. It's great to see an app maker take real care and love putting it into the game. Very nearly perfect, but that stutter killed me more times than I probably should have. Or maybe I suck. XD

the game is amazing. great work my friend.I want to ask for a favor though.Can you add the nevanda tileset?I saw it in the nethack app by gurr and is great.In any case you have done great job.
