Where to find the game
- App Store: Tindrift: Merge Roguelike
Covers: iPhone
Accessibility
- The App Store lists VoiceOver support, and the game description says the board is read and re-announced after every slide.
- Version 1.0.4 added tile-by-tile exploration, three-finger swipe moves, VoiceOver actions for all directions, and detailed board announcements.
- Version 1.0.6 added the Field Manual, explanations for soldiers, shadows, and tactics, spoken tactic results, and announcements before and after ads.
- An AppleVis tester on iPhone says all elements are read, buttons are clearly labelled, and the app is fully accessible and easy to use with VoiceOver.
- Magic Tap can describe the board, and audio cues can play the whole board from top to bottom with left/right placement by column.
Known limitations
- The strongest practical testing is for iPhone with VoiceOver. I have not confirmed that the browser or Android versions have the same accessibility, so they are not recommended here yet.
- The game has ads and in-app purchases. Sources say ads are announced and do not spend moves, but ads can still interrupt the flow.
- This is a tactical board game with many soldiers, enemies, terrain types, and tactics. Full blind play requires learning the systems and tracking the board carefully with VoiceOver/audio.
- Norwegian language support is not confirmed.
