DoomRL
DoomRL (Doom, the Roguelike) is a fast and furious
coffee-break Roguelike game, that is heavily inspired by the popular
first person shooter game Doom developed by ID Software.
DoomRL is turn-based, offers a top-down interface formed
entirely of ASCII characters, and features a character leveling system
with traits.
In this game, you are the sole surviving marine from a squad
sent to investigate a distress call from the moonbase of Phobos. It
turns out that all hell has broken loose on the plant... literally.
Your quest in DoomRL is to descend into the moonbase complex, find the
source of this evil outbreak, and destroy it at all costs.
DoomRL is intended to be simple and easy to get into. There is
a limited inventory, maps of the size of one screen, and one item per
tile.

- 25 levels of mostly random doom dungeons filled with
fortune or your own personal doom
