If the current character dies, we start over. I'm not nearly good enough to play on Going Rogue, and only elves play on easy mode. One: Dwarvish Moderation (medium) difficulty. If you enjoy geeky, self-depreciating humor, you'll probably like this. There are also roughly a dozen unique kinds of cheese and a strange fascination with lutefisk. Every stat, item, skill, and monster has a tooltip that frequently lampshades pop-culture or the bizarre improbability of pseudo-fantasy worlds like this one. The game is literally dripping with geeky references, from NetHack to Dwarf Fortress to Star Wars to Elder Scrolls and all sorts of stuff in-between. If you prevail, you will eventually face and defeat the mighty Dredmor and win. At some point, you will probably die, and death is permanent by default (you can turn that off on a character-by-character basis, though all it does is allow you to load the most recent save). Along the way, you can take sidequests, drink from fountains, dodge or disarm traps, buy stuff from shopkeepers or vending machines, and more. As you progress, you learn new abilities and spells from your chosen skill sets and become more powerful. You walk around a randomly generated, multilevel dungeon, picking up loot and slaying monsters for experience. You start by picking seven skills from amongst a wide selection, rather than pre-built classes. There is also a female protagonist, with eyebrows every bit as impressive as his. That dashing fellow is one of the protagonists.

It is considered by some to be 'baby's first roguelike', thanks to it's somewhat lower difficulty than similar games as well as it's higher accessibility. What the heck is this, and who's the guy with boxes on his face?ĭungeons of Dredmor is a roguelike released by Gaslamp Games in 2011.
