crawl VS sil-q

However: https://github.com/kimjoy2002/crawl/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md "Added two-headed ogre(playable). Can wear 2 weapons and 2 amulets. But you can't wear a shield" - kimchi has two-headed ogres, but AFAIK they don't get two religions.

It does an excellent job. The added content fits with the design philosophy the game had back when it was adding and trying out new things all the time. For example, Wights are playable and some of the most fun I've had with the game. Awful aptitudes in almost everything, but nice undead bonuses/resistances and the ability to curse their held weapon for an enchantment buff. Kimchi hasn't seen an update in about a year, but they were actively polling players on which content they'd like to see restored for some time and actually following through on it. https://github.com/kimjoy2002/crawl

And in top of all that, makes hundreds of new additions, while regularly merging new changes from up to date DCSS versions. You can play as a Hydra that grows a new head every level and an amulet slot every other level until becoming the Lernaean hydra with 27 heads! How exciting and awesome is that? You can check the huge changelog here.

Barony, Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup Kimchi, Tales of Maj'Eyal - there's almost nothing better than randomness, immediacy and pausability of roguelikes, but there's also so much unfulfillment after Yet Another Stupid Death when trying to play casually, even with savescumming, permadeath off and other "little" cheats,

Kimchi is a fork of DCSS. It tries to imitate the original experience from the late 00s which some players prefer.

I can personally recommend Kimchi if you prefer old DCSS. It adds back all the old races like for example sludge elves and mountain dwarfes, all the old classes and previously removed items.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup - One of the best and most popular roguelike out there at the moment. Kimchi is a fork of DCSS and tries to be closer to the original experience from back in the day which some players like better.

Soulcalibur vi. You should check out sil-q. The dev took inspiration for Tolkien and best part is that its free! https://github.com/sil-quirk/sil-q

The other current one is Sil-Q, which is a further variant of an existing variant called Sil. I don't like it (either version) so I can't comment much, but it seems popular.

Check out Sil-Q, based on Angband and set in LoTR's deep past but completely redone so that spells and skills act together to make vastly less use of throwing fire around and vastly more of hiding, sealing doorways, increasing healing speed, seeing farther and through walls, putting monsters to sleep, and so on. It's surprisingly successful at feeling like Tolkien's accounts of the great accomplishments of Middle-Earth. https://github.com/sil-quirk/sil-q/

It does have a tileset as of Sil-Q 1.5, which you can download here. I drew it myself! I’d recommend changing the font to 16x25.fon in the topbar, then turning on the tiles after starting your first game. Have fun!

I believe Sil started as a fork of Angband, and it's a favourite of mine. You might want to check that out. (I believe currently the most up-to-date version is Sil-Q https://github.com/sil-quirk/sil-q).

You want more? :D - The Temple of Torment Medieval fantasy world with demons, quest based gameplay, you can play with the mouse. - Under the Mad Mountain - TraumaRL - From here Numeron Reactor download Hellspace (2014), Rogue City Scavenger (2013) and Nightfall (2012) - Roguelegends: Dark Realms dark fantasy, cosmic horror - Sil-Q Tactical combat - Angband

Sil - A roguelike based on LOTR with a strong emphasis on discovery and tactical combat. I personally recommend Sil-Q over the original version as it comes with a bunch of bug fixes, balancing changes and improvements to the game.

Sil-Q, https://github.com/sil-quirk/sil-q, is an actively updated version of [Sil](https://nickmcconnell.github.io/AngbandPlus/sil.html), which itself is based on NPPAngband.
