Description

Lambdarogue is a roguelike RPG. The most recent version is 1.6.1 (to install, simply download and extract the archive).

If one had to categorize Lambdarogue to be either a "hack"-game or a "band"-game judging by dungeon generation, it would clearly fall into the "band"-category: Like in Angband and other "bands", standard dungeon levels are randomly generated every time a staircase is used and the player will never encounter the same dungeon level twice.

Mankind's Redemption ...

... is hidden in the depths of a dungeon. So say the old legends, and so spoke the priestess.

Now you're standing here, all alone, with nothing but your weapon, a small backpack and your skills, facing some of your greatest fears. For hours, you've been hunted through constantly changing dungeons and caves … chased by wild animals, by preachers of a sinister cult, and by abhorrent spawns of the evil goddess Eris.

Finally you get some rest, regaining your psychic powers and pondering to return to the Temple. But the safe havens of mankind are far away, the journey back to the Temple would last longer than the way before you. So you decide to go on, deeper and deeper, always searching for traces of the Book.

The only book that matters these days. The Book that will set mankind free. The Book of Stars.

»Per Libris Ad Astra«, spoke the priestess to you: »To the Stars, Through Books« However, this way is a dangerous way, a path through neverending darkness.

And the evil goddess Eris is already lurking for you ...
