Your helpful teachers are there to explain the ins and outs of wizarding, sell you a few useful items, and even give you a few tips to improve your skills.Along the way you'll encounter Solomon's skeletons, zombies, imps, and more. You might even encounter an undead king, and Solomon's meticulously reconstructed maggot vomiting skeletal dragon.You'll have a chance to master 21 skills and wield over 50 magic, rare, and epic weapons.With random dungeons and monsters, Solomon's Keep offers infinite replayability.

This was originally a phone game from 2010. The character movement is too slow. ..slower than [b]Diablo 1[/b] (a game I adore). As well as that, I find it irksome that you have low visibility, with a large portion of the screen being darkness. I generally dislike dark areas though unless its a novelty in a [b]Donkey Kong Country[/b] stage or I'm playing something that needs to be dark like a basement in a 3D horror game. Itemization appears to be pretty basic and shallow as well, with just 3 equipment slots. I'd be more interested in pushing on with the game if it weren't for the slow movement speed and being constantly surrounded by darkness.7 found this helpful
Favorite game since my first ever phone. I'm so glad to see it ported to steam!! Music can be a little repetitive but it's a pretty good track so I'm not complaining too much. This game is so much fun and its so sad that I never see ANYONE else playing or talking about such a hidden gem! Only thing I can ask for now is more lore ;). Thank you Raptisoft for making this.3 found this helpful
I really enjoy this game; plays just like it used to. No complaints. I'd immediately pay for a remastered version that's Steam Deck verified.3 found this helpful
oldie but a goodie
This game was a staple in the "dungeon-delving", roguelike scene back in the haydays of the original iPod and it was a pleasant suprise to see it here on the App Store. Looking through rose tinted glasses with my countless hours playing it on my old apple devices, it's a must have. Standalone, the game still holds up in my opinion. It's satisfying, easy, and learning what spell combinations and upgrades are good is still pretty fun. This game is dated in content and graphics but the gameplay still holds up in my opinion. I'm actively supporting any games Rapisoft decides to release on Steam because those guys were my literal childhood (Hamsterball eventually perhaps...?)
I can say that i'm happy that i get to play this game with a real controller. getting gratuated in college multiple times is fun.
