Dungeons of Dredmor




Dungeons of Dredmor, DoD, is a roguelike game made by Gaslamp Games that was released in July 2011. DoD is a very traditional roguelike, it uses turn-based gameplay set on a tiled map that is randomly generated. DoD is written as a spoof of roguelike and traditional fantasies, be prepared for dwarf jokes. I highly recommend DoD to fans of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, or Nethack. The game offers players that are new to roguelikes several less punishing settings, such as disabling permadeath, while giving veterans of the genre a challenge on the hardest settings. There are several aspects of DoD that make it stand out from the other roguelikes that I've played. These aspects include customizable player classes, a crafting system, a fair level of comedy, and a modding community.
