ADOM ('Ancient Domains Of Mystery') is a typical RPG, in whichyou play an adventurer of a variety of classes (includingNecromancer, Farmer, and Elementalist), from a variety of races(Human, assorted types of elf, troll, and many more) who mustexplore vast dungeons, a sprawling wilderness, wilderness towns,lost caverns, and the like, acquiring wealth, magic items, andpower beyond measure. Oh, and you're an '@' sign, the monsters areall letters (o for orc, D for dragon, and so on), and the map ismade of dashes, dots, and equal signs.
ADOM is one of a category of games known as 'Roguelikes', afterRogue, the great-granddaddy of them all. It shares several traitswith these games: It's huge, containing dozens of hours ofgameplay. The dungeons are (mostly) random, with a few fixed levelshere and there (for example, the Arena and the Dwarf City). Allgraphics are represented as ASCII symbols. And the game is very,very, unforgiving. There are no save points here. If your characterdies in play--and you weren't 'cheating' by copying the savefile--he's dead. Hours or even days of play, reduced to a terseentry in the ever-growing memorial file. Some characters won't evenmake it to the first town or dungeon--a random wilderness encountercan reduce your Halfling Archer to a red smear two steps in.
No reflexes are needed here--the game will patiently waitforever between keystrokes--but cunning, daring, and tactics are,as is careful exploration and experimentation. You find awand--what does it do? You won't know unless you find an Identifyscroll (which, itself, must be identified!), or until you zapsomething with it. Perhaps what you zapped will die--it's a wand oflightning! Perhaps nothing will seemingly happen--you may havefound a wand of light and used it in a lit room. Perhaps themonster will turn into a more vicious monster. Who knows? At least,once you've identified something, it stays identified, until you'redead and everything re-randomizes. Of course, you might accidentlyread a Scroll of Amnesia and forget all the things you'veidentified.
Starting to get the picture? With no resources spent on prettypictures, the game is able to layer depth onto depth onto depth.There are many side quests, most of which are verychallenging--good luck rescuing the puppy, kid, you're going toneed it. You can easily lock out or miss entire sections of thegame by choosing one path instead of another early on. But don'tworry--you'll be replaying the opening part of the game alot. Characters die easily, and making it even to thedouble-digits of levels should be considered a triumph.
If you have enough imagination to turn an '@' sign into a boldhero and a D into a dangerous dragon, download ADOM now.
