Honestly a great game. Brutal at times, like any good roguelike, and sometimes RNG will screw you over, but if you're willing to be patient and learn from your deaths, it's definitely possible to improve and survive a bit further. Could use some quality-of-life improvements: - keyboard mapping should be easy to change in game, especially when you have commands that require typing a colon before quickly hitting a letter-- but then you also have commands that are [Ctrl + letter] that do different things - if you accidentally set foot in a dungeon you didn't mean to, i.e. one that's vastly over-leveled for your character, and a monster spawned right next to you, you should be able to quickly nope back out without the monster's "vicious attacks" blocking you (especially when it hasn't even attacked yet) - make the Caverns of Chaos-- the main dungeon of the game-- stand out more on the world map, or have NPCs offer clearer directions than "it's on the other side of those mountains" because I swear there's like ten other dungeons it could be from those directions - also would be nice if the main shopkeeper in the starting village offered at least a few lightweight food options more reliably-- it doesn't have to be a ton, but it's disproportionately likely to offer the 200-stone ration compared to more practical options-- by the point in the game when you're getting ready to stock up on food for a long overworld journey, it's unlikely most characters can haul those around without suffering encumbrance penalties The core of the game itself, though, is challenging but fun. Be patient, make good use of the Tactics command (Coward is super-helpful when you need to get away!), and don't get too attached to any one particular character. There might be some bugs, and it's slightly annoying how every time I close the game it complains about not being able to save files (which is weird because it definitely keeps track of my saved games and lets me start up again without issue), but it's only crashed on me once. I'd recommend it if you're into roguelikes.

i know that it says i've only played ADOM for 46 hours but in reality i've played ADOM for 25 years and counting. i stil love it and look forward to many more years of surprising but expected perma-deaths. also... i admit to using the occasional wand of wishing. that being said, i purchased this game and its sequel out of thanks for so many years of Freeware A.D.O.M. use. finally, if any ADOM title is ever upgraded or released again, i will purchase those as well.

Alright, so... I've been playing ADOM since around 2004, give or take. I was in primary school and my mum got me my first PC. Back then it was ASCII only. In 2015, ADOM got a Steam release, and along with it came some nice tiles and sprites to make the game more approachable. ADOM is a top-down, turn-based, traditional roguelike RPG that is EXTREMELY difficult and brutal. I think ADOM is a fantastic example of why older games are just better — the game is longer, the systems run deeper, and there's so much more customization. You will die, many, many, many times. There’s even an area in the game that is literally blocked off by the devs until you’ve lost 100 characters. That alone tells you what to expect. To me, ADOM is the quintessential fantasy RPG. Give it a proper go — once you start getting the hang of it, you'll see that very few games come close to how awesome ADOM is.

It's the best game ever made, at least to me. And I've played thousands of games. In the 90's and 2000's I spent well over 1000 hours on ADOM. That's a very conservative estimate. And over the past 15 years I've bought dozens of roguelikes, trying to recreate the experience that this game gave me. And some of those roguelikes were very good - but they never did what this did. Every single roguelike I've owned since around 1998, my first instinct is to compare how it does things to how ADOM does things and the other roguelike always comes up short. The balance, the world, coming up with inventive ideas to get out of seemingly impossible situations. It's the gold standard imho. So yeah, I'd recommend this. It's alright.

A classical roguelike with options: play with ASCII tiles and permadeath like it's the glory days of 1980, or fancy graphical tiles and difficulty settings like any modern game, or mix and match. You choose how you want to play.
