Undercroft</a> is an iPhone RPG that's reminiscent of the old Elder Scrolls games; it's turn based, and seen from a first-person perspective (even though you actually play a party of adventurers). This is strictly fantasy fare, and it doesn't do a lot that's new. For the first few quests, you're fighting rats and spiders, and you'll need to level up, deal with loot, and do lots and lots of exploring and quest completing before getting anywhere. But as traditional as it is, it's actually a lot of fun, and the retro format translates well to the iPhone's touchscreen. We've seen elsewhere that the iPhone can do next-gen games, but it's nice to see older forms like this finding a tidy home on the App Store.</p>
<p>And what the heck, ... it won't cost you anything. The game is sponsored by developer Jagex's Runescape at the moment, so you can <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/undercroft/id388644935?mt=8">download and play the whole thing...</a></p> | <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2010/09/22/tuaws-daily-app-undercroft/" target="_blank">Read more »</a></div></div></div>
