This game is a rougelike, and for those that don't know what that is, it's a genre of game that involves randomised dungeons, loot and enemies, and usually tasks you with getting to the bottom of whatever structure you have to move through. This game is no different, you have to get to the bottom of the dungeon, grab the Orb of Zot, and get out again, easier said than done though.
There is a lot to be said for character creation with race and classes being provided out the arse for you to fuck about with. In fact, there is so much to this game that it would take me far too long so if you do play it, go find the wiki and use that to help you.
Like I said before, if you die, your character is deleted and you have to start from scratch again. What makes this even cooler is that as you get deeper, you will be attacked by ghosts of your previous dudes, so you have to be extra careful when that starts going down.
It can be a bit difficult to get your head round this one if you are new to the genre, but there is plenty of material to help you out. Even if you do only play this for a weekend, I promise you will not beat it!
