Solomon's Keep
Role-Playing
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Near the town of Dead Hawg, past the Grimwood, at the very PEAK of Mount Awful, there stands a crumbling tower of mortar and stone.
Deep within this foul edifice, the blackest necromancer of modern times, Solomon Dark, sits on his horrible throne.
As a near graduate of the Wizarding College, your final exam is to storm Solomon's Keep. Dispatch the dark wizard, loot his evil possessions, unbind his horrific minions, and prove to your teachers once and for all that you're not as stupid as you look.
----
In Solomon's Keep, you move your wizard with one thumb, and fire magic spells with the other. As you destroy enemies, you earn experience points. Gain enough experience, and you'll gain a level, and can select new skills to help you ascend the tower.
Along the way you'll find gold and magic items. Your helpful teachers are there to explain the ins and outs of wizarding, sell you a few useful items, and even give you a few tips to improve your skills.
Along the way you'll encounter Solomon's skeletons, zombies, imps, and more. You might even encounter an undead king, and Solomon's meticulously reconstructed maggot vomiting skeletal dragon.
You'll have a chance to master 21 skills and wield over 50 magic, rare, and epic weapons.
With random dungeons and monsters, Solomon's Keep offers infinite replayability. It's never the same game twice!
If you're fond of action RPGs, Solomon's Keep will satisfy your black heart.

NEW STUFF:

o You can now buy more space in the Amazing Cabinet for the paltry fee of 99 cents
o The game will now auto-orient
CHANGES:
o Cold Magic is now considered a core part of Solomon's Keep. A poster on the Raptisoft Forums commented to me that he played Boneyard first, and charging for Cold Magic in Keep looked like money grubbing (Cold Magic was actually added to Keep much later). After considering, I decided he was right, so Cold Magic is no longer a buy upgrade.
o The Amazing Cabinet is now enabled by default and doesn't need to be turned on in addons.
o Inventory scrolling speed has been sped up a little bit
o The Annalist and the Amazing Cabinet will no longer require you to defeat Solomon before they appear (they will, however, not appear in the very first "normal" game you play after your first install).
FIXES:
o A glitch with recording game deaths has been fixed
o Several savegame glitches have been fixed, such as invisible walls, or the player returning to the dungeon outside of a room. If you get a bugged game, simply exit and re-load, and it should be fixed for you.
o Teleport will now correctly move you to the exit room on Rampart levels
o Some screen artifacts have been fixed
o The Boss Key will no longer ever fall out of the chest and be unreachable
o A glitch with picking your first skill when you have a skill+ item equipped has been fixed.
o A glitch with hurricane damage has been fixed
3.5 26/03/2011
o An "Addons" button has been added to the main menu, with game addons!
o The Amazing Cabinet has been added to the game! It lets you store items away to use in a new game. It's free, enable it in the addons!
o Damage resistance has been capped at 95%
o Poison arrows will no longer poison through magic shield
o A Discuss button in setup will take you to the Raptisoft forums where you can ask questions. (If you're on a mobile device, it will take you to the mobile version of the forums)
o A new potion has been added, which does 4x damage for 30 seconds. It's expensive, and only occasionally in the store, but could mean the difference between life and death!
o All awesomeness high scores are now reset! There is a new awesomeness scoring system in place that makes your awesomeness score better reflect how toe-curlingly awesome you really are. Visit the forum at www.raptisoft.com if you want a full breakdown of how awesomeness points are distributed.
o Facebook has been removed, because so many people were having facebook problems.
o When you kill Solomon, you will immediately level up.
o Frost magic now is available as an addon! Frost magic can weld to form Frost Missile, Steam, and Blizzard Beam, and a new cold-based secondary spell is added, meaning five new offensive spells.
o Meditating now also speeds the recovery of secondary skills
o Demigod difficulty has been added after Archmage, with appropriate feats. Demigod Difficulty is very, very difficult!
o Max player level has been raised from 57 to 75
o Having the creativity skill reduces all skill level requirements by 7 (i.e. if a skill is only available above level 25, creativity makes it available at level 18)
o The spell caps on all four offensive spells have been raised to 20 (with a maximum of 25 with items) to assist in the greater difficulty offered by Demigod.
o Boss Monsters now scale up their attack tactics on higher difficulties (increased speed and frequency). You will earn your awesomeness.
o The display of skills in the character sheet has been cleaned up to group related skills together.
o Ring of Fire and Acid Rain can be upgraded five levels further after you pass level 20.
o Magic Shield can be upgraded two levels further after you pass level 25
o Siege Mage's skill cap has been increased two levels
o A mana-less fireball now looks different than a full-strength fireball
o Elemental Enhancement Spells: You say there's no good reason not to weld your magic? Well now there is. All four primary attacks have their own "elemental focus" spell which don't get welded in, and which are available after player level 30: Elemental Maximum spells require that you have a skill point in all the sub-skills of the elemental spell.
o An addon has been added that lets you select a different look for your wizard, and female wizards! (Sorry, all wizards are blue... it's the traditional color that the Wizard College drapes a surely doomed wizard in when he/she goes off on a deadly quest).
3.0 19/12/2010

Thanks again for buying Solomon's Keep. This was supposed to simply be a bug-fix update, but we ended up throwing in some features that were going to go into 3.0, just to get them to you quicker.
Here's what you're getting:
o Due to user confusion, the Annalist will not appear in-game until you've defeated Solomon at least one time.
o Fixed a bug that could cause hit points to fall to minimum level if you equipped a "bonus to all skills" item.
o Fixed a few graphical glitches
o Fixed a glitch that caused framerate to drop when fighting demons and zombies on Wizard difficulty
o Hit Area of in-game buttons has been increased, and hit area of the thumbsticks has been decreased.
o A glitch with the experience bar and trading gold for experience has been fixed.
o An exploit that allowed players to get infinite level ups has been removed
o To improve game balance, buying knowledge is now more expensive at higher difficulties.
o Due to some apparent glitches in the Facebook library code, Facebook will no longer automatically resume your last session when you start the program. You will now have to touch the facebook icon, and select "resume."
o Fixed a problem where the magic door caused players to become embedded in walls or blank areas of the dungeon
o Meditation skill has been adjusted to invoke faster after player goes idle.
o Three save slots are now available
o Players can now play in Hardcore mode for added challenge.
o By popular demand, going back to town will no longer heal you completely. But you will recover life and mana MUCH faster while in town.
o Solomon has a new minion: Shadow Demons!
o Improved the look of Flame Lash because of the guy on Toucharcade forums who complained about it. Thanks for adding to my workload, buddy! Now the effect properly conveys the atomic bomb ridin' tyrannosaurus-killin' great white shark wrestlin' awesomeness of flame lash.
o Three new feats have been added for hardcore mode
o ...and a few other surprises await you!
Watch this space, because the Boneyard Expansion pack will be coming soon!
