Much like Monty Python’s Rabbit of Caerbonnog, 100 Rogues‘ charming exterior belies the vicious beast within. “Death is essentially inevitable in 100 Rogues. It’s not all about winning, though; it’s about getting a high score!” advises one of the game’s many loading tips, and these words should be take as dogma. Developed by DinoFarm Games and published by Fusion Reactions, the game is a new take on the classic roguelike, a roguelike being a genre of role-playing games typified by randomization for replayability, permanent character death, turn-based movement, dungeon crawling, looting and a high degree of difficulty.
TouchArcade: Dinofarm Games, creators of 100 Rogues [$2.99], have just released their latest game for iOS, Auro [$2.99]. The game has been out for a few months on Android, but the iOS version has been delayed due to a series of technical issues that prevented the game from making its way to the App Store. Well, the team at Dinofarm finally got their issues, related to the Flash nature of the game and App Store submissions, sorted out, and now you can finally play this one for yourself without going over to the dark side.

So without further ado here are this week’s recommended iPad gaming apps.
