Latest revision as of 21:45, 3 January 2023

A handheld roguelike is a roguelike game for a small electronic device such as a cellphone, a video game system, or a PDA.

Even a system capable of running Windows or Linux does not guarantee a good roguelike experience. The small screen and limited controls of most handhelds mean that, unless careful work is done in UI design, the resulting game can be unplayable.

Some of these games also work on Windows or Linux, either by themselves or with the help of an emulator.

Multiple platforms

  • Ananias (HTML5, for iPhone, Android, and non-handheld Web/Desktop)
  • CalcRogue (stable; for Palm Treo cell phones and TI QWERTY calculators)
  • FAangband [1] (for NDS, Windows CE, and some non-handhelds)
  • Gone Rogue (Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac, Linux, Browser)
  • Legends of Yore (iPhone, Android, and non-handheld Web/Desktop)
  • Pathos: NetHack Codex (iOS, Android, Windows Store, Windows Desktop)
  • POWDER (stable; for GBA, NDS, PSP, GP2X, WinCE, iPhone, and some non-handhelds)
  • Strange Adventures in Infinite Space (stable; for Palm Treo and Windows Mobile cell phones, and some non-handhelds)
