  • shadow-of-the-wyrm

    Traditional roguelike game in the spirit of ADOM and Omega.

    Shadow of the Wyrm (open world)

  • BrogueCE

    Brogue: Community Edition - a community-lead fork of the much-loved minimalist roguelike game

    To start, I would recommend Brogue or The Ground Gives Way. Both are very simplified and have an accessible, modern approach. Tales of Maj'Eyal, while more complex, also a more modern game feel to it that might be appealing. There are two main types of roguelike gameplay: dungeon delvers, and expansive open worlds. Both Brogue and TGGW are the former, so it's easy to jump into a game, get the basic idea, and get some neat loot before you're murdered so you get a feel for the mechanics (some of the older games don't care about killing you on the first turn some runs). TGGW also has a tutorial, which isn't common. And they're both free.
