More About Rogue with the Dead: Idle RPG
An innovative game from room6, the team that has brought you such successes as Unreal Life and Gen’ei AP.
◆Defeat the Demon Lord
Your mission is to lead an envoy of soldiers for 300 miles, in order to defeat the Demon Lord at the end.
Completing quests and killing monsters will earn you coins that you can use to make your troops stronger.
They fight automatically, and you can choose to either wait and watch them have at it or join the battle yourself.
Soldiers respawn after they’re killed, but you don’t. You’ll lose all soldiers, money, and items, except for artifacts, and you’ll have to start over.
To stand a chance against the powerful bosses impeding your progress, you’ll need to collect as many artifacts as you can. Defeating them, in turn, will grant you more artifacts.
◆Many different playstyles
・Power up soldiers, defeat monsters, and clear dungeons
・An endless loop of dungeons
・Hire healers, summoners, magicians, and more to fight for you
・Defend yourself from the incoming enemies in true tower defense fashion
・Power up quests to earn more coins automatically in idle mode
・No annoying controls required as most of the game can be played while idling
・Find even stronger soldiers to defeat tough bosses
・Collect many useful artifacts
・Gather ingredients to cook meals to enhance your soldiers’ powers
・Compete with other players in the online leaderboard
・Roguelite mechanics, making you stronger every time you start over
◆A beautiful pixel art world
Travel through a fantastic world and its story drawn in beautiful pixel art. Enjoy the journey to the Demon Lord’s castle together with your troops and your guide Elly.
Little by little, you’ll find out about what happened before your arrival, and Elly might know more than she lets on...
◆Watch the numbers grow
At first, you’ll deal 10 or 100 points of damage. As you progress, the numbers will grow in the millions, billions, trillions... Enjoy the exponential growth of your power.
◆A varied roster of soldiers
Swordsman
A basic warrior unit with high health who fights on the front line to protect other soldiers.
Ranger
An archer that can attack from afar. However, it is slower and has less health than warriors.
Pigmy
A tiny warrior with low health and weak attack, but very fast movement. It can quickly sneak close to enemies to attack them directly.
Sorcerer
A magician that deals high damage to enemies within an area. However, it is slow and rather fragile.
...and many more.
◆Artifacts that power you up
・Increase attack by 50%
・Protect magicians from 1 attack
・Increase all coins earned by 50%
・1% of all soldiers' attack is added to the tap attack
・Soldiers have a 1% probability of spawning at giant size
・Necromancers can summon 1 additional skeleton
...and many more
◆If you’re tired, just idle
If you want to take a break, just close the game. Quests will still continue even while you’re not playing the game. When you come back, you’ll have more coins to power up your soldiers and defeat that boss that has been giving you trouble.
You can play for a few minutes at a time, so it’s perfect to fill in those little pockets of time throughout the day.
◆You’ll probably like this game if...
・You like idle games
・You like “clicker” games
・You like strategy games
・You like RPGs
・You like pixel art
・You like tower defense games
・You like roguelike or roguelite games
・You like endless dungeon exploration games
・You like seeing numbers grow exponentially

Great gameplay and intriguing story. -2 stars for ads, ads everywhere. Some of the features locked behind ads should really have at least a few uses without ads like rerolling troops. Ad removal costs 11 for 30 days, permanent removal costs 37 dollars. They don't use Google play to track saves so if you lose you id and backup code you can't recover purchases. This game is good but not worth diving into with its paywall content. -2 more stars for being subscription based and not releasing new stu

got an ad for this but I've been looking for a good idle game so I gave it a shot, and wow this games really good!! just beat the main story after a couple weeks of playing pretty casually (f2p), game was paced really nicely, the different troops are cool, and the art style/ music is exactly what I was looking for! 10/10 if you're looking for an easy to play idle game that you can pick up and play whenever you want to, this is that game!

This is an excellent mobile game, however, every meaningful action within the game is made better by watching a 15-30 second ad. And to progress, you will NEED the bonus from the ad. In the end, you will spend more time in ads than in gameplay. Ad skipping is available to purchase, as is faster game speed, if you purchase both, this tiny mobile game will cost 70USD. It is unfortunate, as the one day trial of ad skipping/speed shows how fun the game could be, but not $70 of fun.

I've come back to update my review, the app doesn't force you to watch ads but after the first 100 miles progression slows down to the point that watching ads is basically required to progress. And then after 200 miles progression becomes so glacially slow that even watching every ad opportunity doesn't do more than maybe give you a few more miles. The game grows quickly stale and repetitive and the new things that get unlocked as you progress are just the same stale gameplay but harder

It's not a bad game, but has given me some issues. Now I admit that the phone I've been playing on is about 6-7 years old, but it functions flawlessly other than compatibility issues with some apps due to it running Android 8. I recently replaced the battery to continue using this phone and to test it I've been playing this game to run the battery down. I've many hours invested at this point. But! When I went to reopen the game a bit ago it had completely reset my progress. Not cool.

Very fun free to play game. You can progress very quickly without watching a single ad and improve every run. Ppl complaining about it are actually extremely silly lol. I was enjoying it until I ran into a bug :c I closed the game on the rebirth shop menu at night, came back to see it greyed out and now I can't continue forward. I'd really like to ask the devs to try to fix this or like "unstuck" players from this menu. ty.

It's a great game that has a good progression. The storyline is fun to go through, and the game itself is great. You can play this game without watching a single ad, but watching an ad gives you a huge bonus, so it is definitely worth it. The cost to remove the ads is $37, but every ad is optional, and you can't even see that many if you tried. Everything about this game is peaceful and very fun. Whether it is music, gameplay, art, or a story you are looking for, this game is a great choice.

$11 to remove ads temporarily? $37 to remove them permanently? Are you insane? I hate ads, but not enough to pay that much, no matter how much potential your game has. Also, kudos (sarcastic) for locking an extremely basic QoL feature, 2x speed, behind another, completely separate $29 paywall. If the prices were reasonable, maybe $8-10 for both combined, I'd be willing to give the devs some support, but nearly $70 is unhinged for a mobile game. And that's w/o the passes and other bundles.

Fun game. Good idle features and nice progression system even without paying. Lots of ads for small bonuses, but they generally seem like an alright trade off for time. Some of the ads are stupid and terrible, but I don't think the developers get to choose what ads are in the app. The pricing structure of the paid material is bad, hence the 4 stars. 36 dollars for AD removal? 30ish for speed up? Way too expensive. That's full PC game price

Really a great idea. Fun gameplay and really easy to learn. The game is one star due to the absolutely crazy amount of ads. Any review that says you don't need to watch ads are delusional or fake. I'd pay to remove ads, but that option is $40!! I thought I had paid to remove ads, but it turns out the $10 I spent was only for 30 days of great gameplay. Really disappointed in the high costs, not recommended.

5/5 Imma be honest. took me a while, but the fact that all transactions and even advertisements are 100% optional is great. the translations to english are a bit iffy sometimes, but I can easily overlook that. game play is slow and steady at the start as one would expect from an idle game but can be surprisingly hectic at times, and the premium currency is still reasonably obtainable even without advertisements can be supprisingly laggy at times but only in the way late stages. once again, 5/5.

Its a good game about strategy on where to put your money with a wide variety to choose from very basic in terms of mechanics I feel like (in every game) every feature should be unlockable in the gameplay like the speed up and having to watch an ad for each little thing is a big no for me lucky this doesn't make you watch ads Overall good game I have found a (in my opinion) a major bug, when I do an event where I get a lot of chests I only get the basic chest and the choose 3 event says ...

what starts as a simple experience on the surface as an idle clicker is actually a cute little story with alot of different ways to upgrade your troops, tap strength, and longevity on a never ending march to vanquish the demon king and...well you'll find out after you beat him! good game, don't give 5 stars often but this has been my primary time killer. love it. playable offline and on as well! good job devs!

It's honestly a lot of fun, it's one of the best and most thought out screen travellers I've seen in so long. But if you dislike watching ads, and are one to normally buy the ad packages.. oh boy. They are unbelievable, the in game shop has impossible prices and most of the rewards offered aren't even that special (coming from someone who just completed the main story, aside from the gems they won't actually do as much as they seem). Still think it's worth giving a good run. -1 for insane shop.

In terms of gameplay, it's a pretty decent vibe. Not too much going on, but what it does do is pretty funish without trying to overload your sensory vision... In terms of morality, this devloper is a... "diddler". $20 to speed up the game(which is almost necessary with how slow they made it to begin with), $25 to skip ads(which if you dont you'll need to watch 1 entire minute per click), you're better off throwing money at a homeless man and asking them to start a fight club for your amusment

A solid mobile game that does not push ads into your face every 5 minutes. The game play is simple but enjoyable. The art style is solid and the animation does a good job of conveying some emotion from the characters. The story is meh but frankly there is only so much they can do. Personal this is one of those rare mobile games that I am willing to spend a little money since I gotten a fair bit of enjoyment from the game.

A great game ruined by unrealistic micro transactions. Sad, really. If the game speed wasn't locked behind a micro (that cost $30 at that!) And the full ad removal wasn't 38! Don't get me wrong. It is essentially a fun, albeit bit repetitive game. But it is not worth paying triple-A game pricing for by a mile. Download it, play it for a day, don't spend anything, be done.

Pretty good. For the monetary cost of the ad-free purchase, there's major missed opportunities on quality of life upgrades. For instance, when you pay for no ads, you still have to manually select the 20% ad boost each time before you return. When you collect a chest in the field, you still have to manually choose to get the multiplier. For as expensive as that was to unlock, a bit more care should've went into improving the user experience for players.

Great Game, a little slow at first, but then again every game is slow at first. every ad is optional but they do help out quite a but. overall game play is great, and the story is just getting started. it'll be worth your while, can be very addicting but the idle part is nice. and if you are having a hard time and can't progress forward, just leave the game for a bit to let those coins grow and then once your back you can upgrade all your troops big time and maybe you'll get even farther.

This game has restored my faith in mobile games. At first, I wasn't expecting much. I thought this was going to be an ad-farm with little gameplay. Boy, was I wrong! Rouge with the Dead has been my top favorite game this month, and I am definitely excited to keep playing! The gameplay is great, the soldiers are amazing, and the pixal art is very nice. Not to mention, I just unlocked the Tavern, and I love the troops I get from it! Btw, to those who just started playing, trust no one expect Elly.
