Tales of Maj'Eyal (ToME) VS Angband

Since Brogue's already been mentioned, I'd add Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup and Tales of Maj Eyal as pretty beginner friendly games. Source: 5 months ago

Have you tried TOME? It's a free roguelike, but you can also buy it and the DLC (sold for $4-7 on his website) on Steam if you end up enjoying it. Source: 10 months ago

Try the free download from te4.org first! That is the full game, not a demo. It doesn't have the DLC, but then for most of its existence there were no DLC. I've spent years playing the main campaign before the DLC. Just the main game is huge and has lots of content. Source: 10 months ago

Also, what's the difference between the steam collector's edition and the te4.org version? I absolutely don't mind paying 10 eur, but first I want to clarify what's the difference. Source: 10 months ago

If you don't care about graphics. This could be right down your alley Https://te4.org/. Source: 10 months ago

(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: 5 months ago

I play tons of other games, but Angband holds a special place in my heart. Been playing since the 90's. Source: 10 months ago

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: 12 months ago

Honestly, your regular Angband is pretty good. There's also https://angband.live/ which houses many variants and their versions, if you want to try out different ones. Source: about 1 year ago
