TileRogue
TileRogue is a graphical remake of the well-known classic Rogue, which
started the roguelike subgenre of RPGs.
As in the original, you enter a dungeon consisting of multiple randomized
levels. On each level, there are monsters which you can fight. There is also a
variety of items — potions, scrolls, food, weapons, armor — lying around.
Careful when using these — you never know in advance what spell a scroll
contains, or what effects a potion does. It may be negative. Also, weapons and
armor may be cursed.
Everything is shown from a top down perspective, but instead of using ASCII
characters, this game uses graphical tiles (hence its name). Your immediate
surroundings are shown in the top half, while the lower half contains the last
messages and a small map of the part of the current level you already
explored.
The game is controlled by pressing keys, as in the original, but you can also
use the mouse to move around. There is also a menu bar from which you can
choose actions — so you don’t have to memorize dozens of key bindings as in
other roguelikes.
