The community has been trying to put rogue-like games together with non-ascii graphics for at least a decade, and, for me, none has ever worked. However, ADOM is different. Already one of the very best rogue-likes of all time, with a compelling, rich story-line and hundreds of hours of challenging gameplay, the Steam version is actually very good. I put this down to clever little touches, atmospheric sounds, and some nice design. The original game remains as compelling as it ever did, and this release breathes new life into it.

Death, like in any real roguelike, is common even for the experienced player and there's a major sense of satisfaction when you discover a new trick, enter a new dungeon or simply cave in the head of some nasty monster that has taken you all of your ammo, your power points and left you barely functional.

    I started my journey back in 1995 on the Amiga playing this game made up of @ signs and & signs and wondering how such a bland, simple looking game could ever hope to hold my attention. 20 years on, new content has been added and colourful tiles presenting a much nicer GUI have arrived.

    And one piece of advice.... never EVER eat a kobold... it's like Montezuma's revenge (wait, you might meet him) only worse!!!    … Full Review »

    El mejor roguelike, mas adictivo, tiene modos de exploración para no morir a cada rato. Adictivo, entretenido.
