The Way Home: Pixel Roguelike App Reviews

Really enjoying it, a lot more than I expected to honestly. Simple to play, easy to pick up. Just fun!

Good game but forces you to either pay or watch a ridiculous amount of ads to progress, not optional.

It’s a cute lil game & I like it. Creator of the game was thoughtful and allows people access even without paying via ads. 10/10 would recommend. Gives me Archero vibes, but is actually fun instead of stressful. I enjoyed the story. If I had to complain about a single thing, it would be that it ended too soon.

no complaints; it’s quite charming and the levels are perfectly sized for a few minutes here and a few minutes there. as a note, it looks like they’ve done away with the ads mentioned in other reviews… my experience was 20 “expeditions” into 6 small random levels each plus crafting until being able to unlock the first boss. after beating the boss, it went to iap of $6.99 to unlock the remaining 3 worlds. that plays out like a really generous try-before-you-buy, which you’re gonna know for su

Good story,Good graphic and great gameplay

This game was a labor of love showing influencers from indie crawlers like gungeon , transistor, and many others with fun spite designs and a nice soundtrack you firmly get lost in “A way home” that you forget track of time

Didn’t know what to expect going in, but there continue to be more and more layers to peel back with the gameplay and the story. 10/10 bravo Simple to pickup, lot to build on

I found a cute dog!!!

I don’t write reviews, but this game deserves it. It has everything that makes a good rogue-like dungeon crawler great aswell as a storyline to follow along with, I’d you choose to do so. PLEASE keep this game going and keep adding more.

Great game. A little easy, would love to have autowalk (walk to portal/level exit) upon killing all enemies; auto harvest (harvest all trees/stone when on home island); and in game difficulty adjusting. Other than those, this is still a very nice game. Thanks devs!

Perfectly balanced fun roguelike for the phone. Thanks for making this and I hope you keep adding to it or make another. It’s wonderful.

I think the only thing I didn’t like was how quick I would die sometimes. It seemed random how much damage was done to me by bosses. I also didn’t like the beeping voices. I loved the other sound effects though! Good story. Good length! Not too long or “Grindy” thank you! Glad I paid rather than having ads!

Sorry I can’t pay for the stuff but this game is lovely would play again

Super fun and well designed, and runs tend to be short enough to be well suited to the mobile game format. Excellent work, no hesitation to pay for the ad free version.

Love the game! It was a blast, intuitive to play, and it had an engaging and compelling story. It has a warm, homemade feel to it. The dev gives the player the option to pay, or to play the game for free. They are honest and fair/lenient in regards to ads. I feel nostalgic for the characters, and sincerely have the highest respect for the developer(s). Great game, thanks for creating such a masterpiece.

Super simple controls make for incredibly addictive gameplay and the story/progress is satisfying. Played for 5 hours over the course of two days to finish the story. And now there’s end game content!

Simple and fun! Plus you’re a cat named cheese! I love the retro style and music.

This game obviously was made with love and care. Easy, simple controls. Cool, old-school graphics. Awesome storyline. Elements of rpg with items, inventory and dungeon crawls. Some elements of camp-building. Some puzzle elements. All very well-balanced. I was sad when it ended. My son is playing currently. When he's done, we'll try the party mode. This game is so great, we're going to pay for it 2x. Gotta help feed the wife and cat!

Just started the second island and I’m having so much fun. Yeah I had to click on a bunch of ads to get here, but whatever. Getting ready to buy this game right now because I want to keep funding this company and their future progress. Skip buying a coffee today to pay for this game!!!

The game starts at a place where you’re unsure if it will be like the rest of the games that offer you a “unique storyline”, and by hour 2 you understand that they are one of the few who are telling the truth. This game made me feel things. This game is worth every minute you spend playing.

bragging about my dog but seriously 10/10

Great game honestly love it so far.

I like this game because I got a dog and the main character is a cat

Love this game! Was sad when I saw you had to pay but that was only if you wanted instant access, you can still play and advance you just have to watch ads for scrolls to make a bridge, haven’t had one ad during the gameplay itself! Just ads you choose to watch to advance, super smart and makes it easier if you don’t wanna or can’t pay for it! Highly recommend! Super cute and can play for an hour or two a day without getting bored which is saying a lot lol!

A very charming pixel rogue like with extremely well done art, animation, and killer music. Well worth the ~$7, but you can still play for free with ads if you’re unwilling to spend money. Excellent mobile game <3

60 ad videos later and I beat the game in 2 days but honestly it was the coolest 2 days playing a rogue like game that I’ve had in a long time.. highly recommend for any rogue like player

I enjoy this game a lot. I normally get frustrated reading too much but this has just enough to not be too wordy whilst also being engaging.
