Oubliette is the classic multiplayer dungeon fantasy role playing game, finally available on Android phones. Build a party of fighters, priests, mages and thieves to run deep into the dungeon. Test your courage and skill against groups of orcs, trolls, vampires and dragons.
Earning its reputation as the thinking man's dungeon game, Oubliette blends the thrill of mortal combat with the sublime challenges of strategy, planning and adaptation. Rather than testing your reaction speed and nerves, like a first person shooter, Oubliette challenges the player to do
careful strategic planning as well as make tactical decisions in the heat of battle.
Each player (character) in the game is created from one of eight player races, which vary in attributes such as strength, intelligence, dexterity and durability. Elves are highly intelligent and (potentially) immortal, Orcs are strong with short life spans, Dwarves are strong with high wisdom, Kobolds are quite weak in most areas but advance more quickly.
Depending on these attributes, each player will be qualified to join a limited number of player classes (occupations). More balanced players will have more choices, including Hirebrand (fighter), Mage, Priest and Thief. Less commonly, players may be qualified for a highly selective class with special skills such as Ranger, Sage, Paladin, Samurai or Ninja.
Unlike games which focus on a single player against multiple opponents, Oubliette allows a party of up to 10 players with complementary skills to face the various types of monsters found in the dungeon. There are more than 160 different monsters, and to deal with them, more than 150 different pieces of equipment, which may be enchanted with special properties or skills.
Oubliette is challenging, but forgiving. New players commonly have their parties wiped out by an unfamiliar group of monsters. In fact, your party can meet up to 3 monster groups at the same time! Use the Temporal Chamber to save a Temporal Portal before dangerous trips. If things turn out badly, use the Temporal Chamber to turn back the clock and try again. The trapeze is every bit as thrilling, but safer, with a net below.
Explore the easier levels of the dungeon to build your party and expertise. And then, when you are ready, feel the power of the game on the deeper levels. Onward to Glory!

Addiction renewed Great changes to the game. This makes it easier to build characters with a very challenging boss to beat

Really buggy First of all, the game requires an additional 22 megs to run *after* installation. Secondly, every time I shut my phone off the game uninstalls. This last update wants 22 more megs. And none of this extraordinary memory demand is reflected in the game itself. Ive had girlfriends who were lower maintenance than this game.

Oubliette 2.1g If you remember the DOS version, the Android version is a faithful update with first person perspective. Those who missed it on their home computer can experience the magnificence of an Eye of the Beholder or Dungeon Master style game, executed extrordinarily well. Difficulty is higher than others in the genre, but much easier than the PLATO version. Be smart and cautious to succeed. I love the improvements to inventory and the ability to save progres via Portal Gems. Multiplayer please, if possible!

Best native, old-school RPG on Android I’m not sure if people know, but Oubliette is actually a classic game from 1983 – but it’s nice to see that they have kept the original’s charm while adding additional content such as an 11th level, secret rooms and a boss battle. The game itself is simple, but it’s well implemented and the party/character building is spot on. Any fan of Eye of the Beholder, Dungeon Master or party-based rogue-likes will be at home here. Battles aren’t very complex, but the strategy really comes when weighing up the risks and rewards – do you use your spells/potions or will you need them later? While I would enjoy something with a bit more depth outside of character creation and combat, Oubliette is easily the best native Android RPG I’ve seen. One change I'd like to see: Would love gender to be selectable rather than have it random. And if the dev was to consider an all new Oubliette II, I'd love to see Eye of the Beholder style side quests and puzzles added in the mix. Considering how easy it would be to port, I’m shocked (and somewhat annoyed) that there haven’t been any Might & Magic or Eye of the Beholder ports on the market – but thankfully Oubliette offers a compelling alternative.

A great old school game... Love to give these guys a million and see what they come up with. It's a lot like Bards Tale or Wizardry. They capture the spirt but move on with the times. I have been looking for this game for a long time. Many thanks to the guys who made a new classic.
