    Delver (First-person real-time roguelike)

    It's a WIP but it looks great:

    I'd imagine adding 1st-person and real-time to the mix is gonna get some roguelike-nazis' panties all in a wad but it seems to meet many of the other conditions (so far): procedural maps, random loot, free-form, permadeath...

    I am so there!

    The tossing-the-skull-sprite around at the start did give me Ultima Undeworld flashbacks.

    You can download the alpha and give it a whirl yourself. Pretty neat.

    I'm growing ever tired of the minecraft like graphics. I was interested until I saw that, and then my interest plummeted.

    This so much. It looks utterly charming.

    Almost like a first person Legends of Yore. Very interesting.

    It would be interesting if somehow these developers would make the graphics/textures moddable so the community that would spring up around the game could help enhance the look of the game if they wanted to.

    I'll be the first to admit that I don't know what would be involved in something like that

    Any day now, someone will invent voxels and the indie market ... well, who knows where the indie market could go.

    Delver is now out on the Google Play store for $3.99. Be aware though that it's still in development with regular updates promised.

    I'll give it a try on my Transformer tonight and see how it plays.

    I picked it up for my transformer prime. Runs perfectly. Kind of fun. very light. It is basically a 3D roguelike, which is just fine with me =)

    There are some obvious holes in the interface and things missing, but it is definitely playable. I went through about 6 levels, and didn't find much in the way of diversity quite yet.

    Grimrock is more my speed, with puzzles, traps, etc. but who knows what is to come of this, and it is a fun little 5-10 minute mobile game.

    I gave it a try yesterday and the touch controls are really good and intuitive. Left hand strafes and goes back and forth while the right hand is used as mouselook and use / attack. You are not restricted to small control areas on the screen and it works all the better for it.

    The game is still light content wise. But it's off to a good start.
