Ive played this awesome game for several years with various phones and accounts. It is still the best nethack type variant out there, only with much more variety and creative touches (loving the Tortle!). Yes some others are fun too (like Gnollhack with voice acting and better graphics n animations), but ultimately I keep coming back to this one cuz it has the best quick n user friendly design (UI and overall game mechanics) and the most variety in races, classes, character build combos, etc.

The best mobile game I anticipate ever playing. Low-grade phones can play it, its 100% free, and its the closest thing to actual d&d I've ever played. I can see the learning curve turning some people off, but for me it was a lot of fun to pick up and learn, and its a lot more user friendly than original Nethack while only sacrificing a small amount of its complexity. Bravo. Bravo. I immediately installed the PC version.

everything's pretty great that is already mentioned in other reviews, although there is this one thing in portrait mode where the event history covers up the statuses like transients light and ammo. This is mildy irritating as when I trigger a trap it puts it in history but also sometimes gives a transient at the same time which makes me have to turn off history for a moment or wait a few long seconds in order to check how long the transient is.
