As a roguelike game, it is obviously too difficult for a game like Candy Crush Saga. In fact, the test mode should be guidized to reduce the difficulty and attract more new players.

I'd guess a lot of people never play it because it seems too simple/boring. Those that do stick with it thinking it IS a simple game might get overwhelmed with resource management and optimizing their character and upgrades based on class and starting conditions. You have to rely on the wiki or a lot of trial and error and that can make people quit.
Pixel Dungeon is a rogue-like, those existed way before Dark Souls. There are even text-based games running in a Unix terminal, I think Nethack is one of the oldest, if not the oldest itself.
Nethack can't be the oldest, because it was derived from hack.
I don't know whether hack or rogue was first, though.

Hack is a 1984 roguelike video game that introduced shops as gameplay elements and expanded available monsters, items, and spells. It later became the basis for NetHack.
Looks like rogue was first.

Rogue (also known as Rogue: Exploring the Dungeons of Doom) is a dungeon crawling video game by Michael Toy and Glenn Wichman with later contributions by Ken Arnold. Rogue was originally developed around 1980 for Unix-based minicomputer systems as a freely distributed executable.
Heh, makes sense the first rogue-like was Rogue.
Funnily enough, Rogue isn’t the first. That honour belongs to the obscure game Beneath Apple Manor.
Beneath Apple Manor and Rouge's creators claim they don't know themselves nor knew of the existence of the other game. Lol.
Yeah that’s a pretty funny story! Just goes to show you how great ideas have their time!
I am playing this game for 2 years now (The OG Pixel Dungeon) and i still find new content, like its infinite.
l'd say that Pixel Dungeon is one of the simpler roguelikes, honestly.
