Type:Casual or not-so-casual roguelike.
Description:This is a fun
roguelike for
Windows,
Mac, and
Linux. It is easy to jump in and
play for a few minutes, then jump out, then jump in another day and
continue where left off. It is also involving enough to
play for long periods. (Dwarf Fortress was really fun, but I found I had to immerse myself in the game over long periods of time to effectively play it, so I had to stop playing it.) Brogue has
many items to discover, enemies to encounter, traps to fall into, gases to ignite... and in my opinion, the interface is very easy and the dungeon levels are
rendered very nicely while maintaining
traditional roguelike appeal. As expected, the entire game can be played with just the
keyboard. Almost everything can be done with the
mouse as well, should one fall victim to an irrational fear of keyboards. So what are you waiting for? Grab your
staff of firebolt and blast the
dry weeds that the band of
kobolds are standing in. Eat a
mango as you watch them incinerate. Take care that your flames do not boil the deep water, releasing
scalding steam. Consume a
potion of levitation and fly over the
acid trap, then throw a
potion of confusion at the
goblin conjurer and hope he blindly steps into the
lava. Free a
monkey from captivity and gain a friendly
ally. Drink potions of
strength, then put on that heavy
armor. Oh wait, was that armor
cursed? Oh well. Drink a mysterious
purple potion. Oh wait, was that a potion of
paralysis? Is that a
dart turret? Are those
vampire bats? Are you
dead? Yes, you are dead. Now start over and do it again.
