Pros
Pro Clean, simple offline game
After pixel dungeon, one of the few games that "get it." It's solvable, incremental and fun to play without complexity. No intrusive ads or requirements to log in or give away permissions to view your contacts.
Pro Three character classes to choose from
There are three character classes the player can choose from before starting a game, they are the cleric, the huntress, and the berserker.
Pro Pleasant ambient music
The music provided in game is a joy to listen too.
Pro Unique geometry
HyperRogue takes place in the hyperbolic plane. The grid of hexagons and heptagons and the straight lines which seem to be parallel diverge and never cross and many more unique and unusual geometric shapes.
Pro Easy to get into
A bit like in chess, the basic mechanics are based purely on movement, so no keys to learn. There are no stats, and most creatures are killed with a single hit -- the same is true for the player, but like in Chess, moves which would immediately lead to being killed are forbidden, so the game is over only when you are checkmated. Advanced parts of the game world include lands based on more complex mechanics, and magical orbs which give temporary special powers.
Pro Many different areas
Many areas based on various themes (R'Lyeh, Desert, Overgrown Forest, Living Cave, Palace, Carribean, etc.)
Pro Turn-based roguelike or local coop roguelite
Can be played both as a turn-based roguelike, and as a roguelite with smooth time. Local coop is available in the roguelite mode.
Cons
Con Bland item options
There is not much option of the choices for weapons.
Con Many grammar and punctuation errors
A most inexcusable problem is the grammatical errors present in this title.
Con Strange visual choices
One of the selling points of the game is also one of its biggest weaknesses. For some, it's simply headache inducing to look at.
