• Honor Mode lets one TRULY savescum

  (If you like the turn-based combat, "choices matter," and "the devs thought of everything" parts of BG3, there are several legacy roguelikes that have similar mechanics and which are still actively maintained: Nethack, Angband and ADOM... All totally FREE!). Source: over 2 years ago

• Is it worth playing 1st gen rouguelikes for fun today ? I am talking about Hack, Moria, Larn, Omega

  I played a bit of Angband awhile back, to get a feel for the old school rouge-likes. It's a fork of umoria, which is itself a porting of Moria to C. Here's some links: https://umoria.org/history/ and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angband_(video_game) and https://rephial.org/. Source: over 3 years ago

• Best roguelike to start with?

  I've played lots of roguelikes over the past 12 years or so. I 'd recommend Angband - it is a blast. It's easy to start as a beginner, and you can kind of take things at your own speed. You can delve as deep or as shallow into the dungeon as you'd like, and return to the surface by using scrolls of Word of Recall. The hunger clock is very manageable, and food is really easy to come by (I always find more than I... Source: over 3 years ago

• So where do I begin?

  That said, I've seen people getting into Nethack and/or Angband without any previous exposure, and these games are not... Easy to begin with. Source: over 3 years ago

• Are there any good Kobold games?

  On the roguelike front, both Angband and Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup have kobold as playable race. Source: over 3 years ago

• I want to play an easy rogue game, like Rogue from 1984.

  I played Rogue as a kid, then went on to MacMoria (since I had a macintosh computer at the time) and then from that I played Angband. I explored a bunch of other Angband variants after that, there was a golden age of Roguelikes in the 90's culminating for me with ToME. Then it all got a bit too all over the place for me. But, the one roguelike which I play to this very day and is still being actively maintained is... Source: almost 4 years ago

• qt

  FreeCiv, The Battle for Wesnoth, ADOM (Ancient Domains of Mystery), and Angband. Also, The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall (free) imported into the Daggerfall Unity fan recreation that has many improvements would be worth a try. Not sure how the game will run on your system with Unity, but it's free and actually a fairly decent game, if the mod doesn't work out the game will still run in DOSBox it comes with.

• Who did I think I was? Animal Crossing, Really🙄

  If you like high speed gameplay on a PC ... Try one of the old ascii rogue-likes, for example Angband - it is turn-based: each time you move via the arrow keys, a new turn happens. So you can play slowly and safe, or run through the dungeon as fast as your attention and typing speed will allow you. Source: almost 5 years ago

• Hey everyone, we’re excited to finally announce that Sweet Surrender, our Roguelike shooter, will be coming out September 30th on both Quest and SteamVR! After 20 long months of development, our first fully budgeted game is only a week away from release!

  This one. It was the template for a lot of similar text-based, RPGs with permadeath and a procedurally generated, different-every-time game. "Roguelike" more strictly means other games similar to Rogue, such as nethack, Angband, and ADOM. Source: almost 5 years ago
