RogueLegends : Dark Realms (RLDR)

It is inspired by the concepts behind the brilliant game : Ultima Ratio Regum, and Dwarf Fortress, with the dark fantasy nature inspired directly by the humorous dark fantasy game Overlord, also inspired by the works of HP lovecraft and the table top game “Silent Legions”.

It is written in c++ with help from libtcod and is still in development!

The focus of the game is on procedural mechanics and providing procedural exposition to go with it.

It includes Race and Class Selection

Most classes have unique win conditions (The plan to make every class have a unique win condition eventually not just most of them)

Also, choosing new character instead of new world in the main menu lets you play with multiple characters in the same dungeon!

It Also, Currently includes procedurally generated Vermin, Monsters, Items, dungeons, dungeon names, and much more!

An interaction System!

Lore, books to read engravings to find, discoveries to be made!

It also has an experimental AI director that handles creating the levels/creatures/items you play with. So they shouldnt be too punishing or too easy.

A sanity system! Which can have effects on your character. Called “Manias”

A Fully featured deterministic tactical magic system that affects the environment (burning down doors, making daggers fly into people, slamming creatures into walls)

Detailed Character sheets where every skill has a use!

It also has a faction system, where if you are a member of a cult for example other members of that cult react differently to you.

Cultists to kill, horrible monsters to be eaten by and Much Much more!

The combat system is also completely deterministic, which results in a “board game feel”, to many players that you don’t often see in roguelike games.
