There is no homepage, but you can get it here. The emphasis seems to be on deadlier and smarter monsters. Oangband: Opinion Angband offers rules changes, more classes, better monster AI and items. The homepage doesn’t really tell you much, but from what I can gather from searching around the forums and other sites, Sangband offers new spells, monsters, items, outside combat experience awards such as drinking an unknown potion, monster AI and interface changes on top of a ton of other changes. Sangband: Skills Angband is one of the few variants that didn’t get abandoned during development and seems to be finished with the 1.0.0 Final release or well it was until October of 2010. MAngband’s Newbie Guide – A MAngband guide similar to Chris Weisiger’s Newbie Guide, but in the words of it’s author, “It has simply been “ MAngbandised“. It’s real-time instead of turnbased and while on your adventure you can meet up with other players. I mentioned in the beginning of these articles that I was somewhat new to the joy that are roguelikes, well what I never expected to find was that someone took one of these complex games online. MAngband: We have for your playing pleasure a multiplayer Angband. (Editor’s note: Only 27 now, is it? Piece of cake! Yeesh…) You only need to go down to level 27 and kill the big bad foozle. TinyAngband: From the same author as XAngband. Unfortunately I can’t tell you what’s in the Combat Realm because the link to it is gone. Under Sorcery there is Beginner’s Handbook, Master of Sorcerer’s Handbook and Tome of Destruction. Under Life you have Book of Common Prayer, High Mass and Godly Insight. The schools of magic are Life, Sorcery and Combat Realm. Unlike the archer class they do not fire as quickly, but can deal more damage. As you may have guessed this class specializes in shooting like the archer. There is now an added class called sniper. There are 15 races most of which you would find in Angband with the addition of a few others like the mindflayer and nibelung. It’s author says it’s easier than the other variants with main features such as ego stores that sells excellent arms, increased ego item powers, new classes, new items, rearranged 2 magic realms and added 1 new one which assists in melee attacks and lastly races. XAngband: XAngband is a ZAngband variant from Japan. I found out about it while researching the many variants to Angband. I’ll be continuing my list of Angband variants (which there seem to be an endless amount) and NetHack variants.īefore I begin there is a newbie guide for Angband that I didn’t mention in the previous article. But I’m really happy to let him share his discoveries with everybody else. He’s been privately sending me links to some more interesting roguelikes he’s found over the last few months, some of which have been included in my indie game news round-up articles if there’s anything new happening with them. The dude has done some serious dungeon-delving for this report, and it shows. Brian “Skavenhorde” Critser continues his investigation into popular or influential roguelikes here, in part 2.
