Looking for roguelikes with lots of lore/a world I can get lost in
Another vote for Shadow of the Wyrm. Classic style but a modern developer.
-
Other safe Rogue
Shadow of the Wyrm is a much more recent game, but worth playing. I think it defaults to graphical tiles now, but you can play it in ASCII too.
- I have a confession to make. What I've always wanted, but haven't quite gotten from the roguelike genre, is a CRPG like Baldur's Gate in ASCII form.

Hades is the best-designed roguelike I've ever played
Shadow of the Wyrm (open world)

Best new(ish) text-based roguelikes?
Shadow of the Wyrm. It does have graphical tiles these days but I usually play it in text.
-
Any ideas to dive in the true genre ?
If you're still interested try theses games - https://www.shadowofthewyrm.org/ - https://www.thegroundgivesway.com/ - Angband - ToME4

Searching for roguelikes with fairytale-like setting
Other than that I suppose Shadow of the Wyrm and Caves of Qud have interesting and fantastical worlds that you can be immersed in.

Looking for something to play
Caves of Qud, Elona, Unreal World and Shadow of the Wyrm are main ones that come to mind as not being entirely about dungeon crawling(though only Unreal World isn't at all about it).
-
Do roleplaying roguelikes exist? Does the genre simply not lend itself to that aspect?
Shadow of the Wyrm totally has this feeling, of a big open lore-filled world and you're just this adventurer wandering around talking to NPCs, crossing whatever bodies of water you like (once you get the means), visiting whatever towns you're interested in, and interestingly doing so is purely for exploration/because you want to, and not because some NPC told you to :P

elonacustomgx.exe flagged as trojan?
I found a fork of CGX that is updated to 2.18, made from JianmengYu. As soon as i start it though, Defender gives me a warning about the executable being a trojan. VirusTotal says the same. I wanted to reach out to the creator of the fork but i have not seen any way to contact him. The original CGX which JianmengYu fork originates from never gave me any problems though. Only this version specifically is flagged as a trojan.
- Gifts. What are those things?
- Where do I download latest elona+ along with the custom stuff?
-
Offline games with rarity loot system that aren't "Diablo-like" for weak pc
Get Elona+ Custom GX here, and then make sure you read the download's ReadMe to then download the actual Elona game.

does customgx need Elona+ 2.15R because the download link is missing
Correct, here is the link for the github of custom GX : https://github.com/Ruin0x11/ElonaPlusCustom-GX

VirusTotal and Microsoft Defender flag CustomGX as malware
Hi guys, I'm new to elona and recently installed elona plus as well as customgx - the custom gx download was from a github page: https://github.com/Ruin0x11/ElonaPlusCustom-GX . I regularly see the same page being promoted in this sub and on the discord etc. so I was surprised when 2 different antivirus applications flagged it. could anyone elaborate on why this might be, and whether or not the download is safe?

New player, trying to set up custom GX work on elona plus 2.14
