Terrible name, but a good game that anyone at all interested in roguelikes should try at least once. An update has been released for it that fixes a couple of errors:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote><ul><li>Pandemonium unique demons (Cerebov et al.) were not being generated, fixed.</li>
<br>
<li>Banishment converted any dungeon feature under the player to floor, fixed</ul></li></blockquote>
<br>
<br>
Some of the features mentioned by the developers include "deep tactical gameplay, innovative magic and religion systems, and a grand variety of monsters to fight". Other elements of interest are the learning by doing skill system and that religion and worship play a more important role than in most other games. This also is one of the main branches of the roguelike varieties; another reason to add it to your to do list.
<br>
<br>
If you fancy a taste of this dish then head over to the <a href=http://crawl-ref.sourceforge.net/>homepage</a> and try it out. If you want to show off your awesome dungeon crawling skills to the world you can also play it online and have your scores uploaded for comparison with other would be adventurers. Details of how to do this are at the homepage. The developers promise that this is one of the hardest roguelikes to beat and from looking at the online players results on it they could well be right.
