Publisher's description
From Thomas Biskup :Ancient Domains of Mystery (ADOM) is a rogue-like game, which means that it is a single-user game featuring the exploration of a dungeon complex. In the case of ADOM, you also explore a large wilderness area with villages and many special locations. You control a fictional character described by race, class, attributes, skills, and equipment. This fictional character is trying to achieve a specific goal and succeed in a difficult quest. To fulfill the quest, you have to explore previously undiscovered tunnels and dungeons, fight hideous monsters, uncover long-forgotten secrets, and find treasures of all kinds.

Version: Ancient Domains Of Mystery 0.9.9 gamma 15
Pros: Great and very challenging PvX system. Many classes, many spells, weapons. Large bestiary. Even reading the game manual is fun. It is maybe the only game which I played with a feeling that I will die myself if my character dies.
Cons: It uses ASCII symbols and black console window for output. Controlling the character with keyboard only is terrible nowadays, too. This game doesn't let you to reload save files (unless you know how to hack that), and since you don't know all the rules from start, you have to learn each new one by just dying because you didn't know it. E.g. I didn't know kobolds are bad food, became sick - and died. In my next game I know that I won't die because of kobold meat - I will die after eating a bee corpse instead.

"Best Text adventure, in my opinion"
Pros: i loved the layout of this game. It took me a while(about half an hour) to get used to the controls. Of all the other RPG text games that ive played, this one stands out and i keep on coming back to it, wanting to get to lvl 5.
Cons: Some ppl might not like the whole text setup but what u see is what u get. also, beginners will have a hard time staying alive but u get strategies on survival after a while.

"very invetive...lots of thought went into it."
Pros: It allows for imagination and has alot of items and character development. A lot
of creativety without popups telling you
the program will end or anything else.
If you love the early days of programming
you'll appreciate the complexity that went into programming It. the only drawback is the Graphics...remember the ">" command to enter citys and caves.
Cons: the graphics are very basic.

"Great features but difficulty is too high."
Summary: The features and character options make up for the graphics and sound but the difficulty is entirely to high. You have to copy your save files to another folder as backups if you want to get anywhere with your character because of the many differen... read more >>
