ToneHack starts a weekly challenger run through #videogame #roguelike #GoldenKroneHotel as a vampire. In this #TraditionalRoguelike #game you can see just how important it is to know about the window locations on the map, because how the streaming sunlight cuts burning swathes across the hotel environment.

#Soulash a traditional #fantasy #roguelike #game is out proper like and its looking real good.
Here is Ic0n Gaming's tutorial on how to play it
If you fancy playing a #roguelike #game like #DungeonCrawlStoneSoup #DCSS but don't know where to start I can heartily recommend Ic0nGaming's tutorial series (even if you only follow the 'how to start out' video. It will give you a good grounding in the things to watch out for and the essential key commands to get playing.

I'm liking the look of Relic Space a #game purporting to be a combo of space combat #RPG and turn based #roguelike combat, whilst managing factions & missions collecting relics from the galaxy.

It's developed by the same team who made #Xenomarine (the groovey aliens/space marine roguelike)
I really appreciate what is being done here with the #game "Not actually a DOS game" #roguelike
Modernising & making ASCII adventuring more accessible - but my age is showing and I struggle with the non-standard keybindings and the mixed use of keys & mice in the menus.
Its very well put together and from what I've played a nice coffee-break romp, worth supporting, but I'd love it more if the bindings could be customised.

Works on #Linux too! \o/
@uoou watching the recent #TrendyTalk, I'm not a keyboard guru, I have a ten key less Red Dragon mechanical keyboard, & wondered how you cope with playing #CavesOfQud with your compact Unicom keyboard. I had to buy a numpad version of the Red Dragon to play #roguelike Qud because 8 way movement seems to be essential.
Well the #roguelikecelebration happened and was recorded for everyone..

@uoou sending a video love letter about #CavesOfQud #traditionalroguelike #roguelike
The stylised but functional presentation & the deep lore encourages you to layer your imagination around its framework & makes the world as fascinating as you can muster. The true power of traditional roguelikes.
Qud does it so well and in a world that is crafted and generated almost infinite replayability.
Plus it works well with #linux
watch, be encouraged & play

It gives you all you need to start exploring & completing the early quests.
Joppa is a great start zone, because you can loot (behind closed doors) the few chests in town to start off with some kit (often a few artifacts to hand in to Argyve).
Old (2018), out of date but I attempted a quick guide myself. I went Mutant.
Today is the day for some (virtual) #roguelike celebration 🥂
