The Perfect Roguelike
Posted by jetstarforever on June 25, 2008
One of my beta testers for Zonerunners was talking about ADOM in the only IRC channel I visit the other day. I had played the game before but hated it, but I gave it a try one last time and fell in love.
ADOM is amazing, I mean, breathtaking! After playing graphically amazing games like Crysis and HL2 and then stepping into a world filled with ASCII characters and being taken away is downright awesome. ADOM took a lot of work to get used to, and it didn’t take long for me to want more, something I’d like to play.
And then it came to me like all my other ideas do: out of nowhere. What about a roguelike that basically places you in a military setting, like a standoff? Then again, how about just a military theme all together? You get the mission, a set of objectives, and certain amount of ammo and then you’re set free to do your job. I put some thought into and decided to give it a go. I’ll have pictures tommorow.
