14 Positive User Reviews for Caves of Lore
First Apple app review
This game is quite possibly the best RPG in existence when it comes to apps. No ads. No pay to win. No pay to anything except just buying the game. This is hands down my favorite game I’ve ever downloaded from the App Store. If you like solo rpgs and loot and TONs of hidden gems. Get this. I come from the times before wow and have grown up with wow and now a 17 yr wow veteran. Get this game you will not be disappointed.
Fantastic old school game
The creator is easy to reach out to if you have suggestions.
There’s a bit of a learning curve it doesn’t put everything in your lap, if it’s not hard to think it’s unforgiving. Just have to do some backtracking sometimes if you don’t pay close attention to what the quest is telling you.
A winner!
A super-fun old-style turn based RPG with a solid story, cool magic and battle skills, fun character progression mechanics, nice visual (pixel-art) flourishes, and a smart world/hub system. The level of *potential* complexity is probably deeper than required to play the game, but you can pretty much bash your way through. A great play, and a phenomenal bargain at the price. Can’t wait for the sequel!
Wow
I’ve only been playing for a few hours but I ca already tell the dev put a lot of thought/love into this game.
My recommendation is to create a trial version of the game so people can test it out and realize how good it actually is.
Great Game!
I’ve been gaming since I was a child. My first game was Pong. Yes. I’m old and I still love gaming. All of this is to say, I’ve played plenty of games in my 50 years on earth. I love this game. Thank you for sharing your art.
Love this game!
I highly recommend this if you like a great story, unique characters, and DnD-like combat. Lots of love went into this game.
Fantastic
Fantastic game and the dev is receptive to feedback.
Great game
Well thought out great game
Incredible Indie RPG
One of my favorite games of all time. A true treasure with inspiration from Fallout 1/2, Baldur’s Gate, and other classic RPGs. I count this as a cozy game with the art style and spell leveling. Amazing work, thank you dev.
Fun, funny, and overall a terrific time
This game is a true labor of love. Love for old school RPGs and dungeon crawlers, with amazing monsters, fun sidekicks, and plenty of side quests and secrets. But also love for the player — this is a game with an amazingly supportive and responsive dev who really cares about making the game better.
Excellent Game!
Love it, other developers should take note. Thanks for a great gaming experience, can’t wait for number 2!
Reminiscent of early "Exile"
This is an awesome game! It's reminiscent of the early versions of the Spiderweb Software game "Exile" in that it's completely open exploration, you have to talk to NPCs...and sometimes go back and talk again; and there are lots of secrets and quests and a lot to do. The interface takes some getting used to, but overall a great game and great value!
Exactly Right
I’ve spent a lot of time trying to find a perfect single player old school RPG that has engaging mechanics, an interesting story, challenging but not frustrating, and NO MICROTRANSACTIONS.
After a lot of trial and error I’m glad to say this game is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Highly recommended.
So good I bought it twice
I enjoyed the game so much on steam I bought it on the AppStore just so I could give the dev another positive review.
