sil-q VS umoria

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.

have you ever played uMoria? it seems likely you have. anyway, it's a lot of fun and also extremely unforgiving at the same time. almost unpleasant. like a really stinky piece of cheese.

Diablo is directly inspired by roguelikes such as NetHack, ADOM, and Moria so I personally don't think it would've been bad.

No, Moria.

Hold up like this

I feel like Moria is a nice intro that gets into the fundamentals. Very close to Rogue but with just a bit more fun stuff without getting complicated.

Umoria.org

I recommend checking out UMoria for those interested in the game. It's a port of the original game which fixes bugs and inconsistencies, corrects typos, and adds a few quality of life improvements.

There's already a game like that: https://github.com/dungeons-of-moria/umoria

Umoria - LOTR roguelike set in the mines of Moria. This is a variant of the original game which released back in 1983.
