Ancient Domains of Mystery – rogue-like game

Ancient Domains of Mystery (ADOM) is a rogue-like game which has been in development since 1994.

It is a single-user game featuring the exploration of a dungeon complex. You control a fictional character described by race, class, attributes, skills, and equipment. This fictional character is trying to achieve a specific goal (see below) and succeed in a difficult quest. To fulfill the quest, you have to explore previously undiscovered tunnels and dungeons, fight hideous monsters, uncover long forgotten secrets, and find treasures of all kind.

During the game, you explore dungeon levels which are randomly generated each game. You might also encounter certain special levels, which present a particular challenge or are built around a certain theme.

Features include:

• Huge game world with hundreds of locations such as towns, randomized dungeons, elemental temples, graveyards, ancient ruins, towers and other secrets.
• Loads of races (dwarves, drakelings, mist elves, hurthlings, orcs, trolls, ratlings and many others) and even more classes (fighters, elementalists, assassins, chaos knights, duelists and much more) allowing for infinite play styles.
• Hundreds of monsters and items, many with enhanced random features.
• A corruption system forcing you to balance lust for power with fear of damnation.
• Spells, prayers, mindcraft, alchemy, crafting and more.
• Dozens of quests and branching story lines.
• Numerous wildly different endings that might alter reality itself.
