About the Game

Rogue is a turn-based dungeon crawler where every run is a unique challenge. Venture deep into the Dungeons of Doom in search of the legendary Amulet of Yendor—but be warned: there are no second chances.

Monsters are fierce, traps are deadly, and supplies are scarce. You'll need to explore carefully, fight strategically, and manage your inventory wisely to survive. Death is permanent, and each descent is different from the last.

Rogue Remastered is a modernization of the original Roguelike, Rogue. At this time available in the new engine is the 5.4.4 version of Rogue -- gameplay exactly the same, you just get all the nice features listed below. Also available is a new 6.0.0 version, containing bug fixes, item and monster balancing, and a new and improved monster pathing algorithm that prevents the monsters from getting stuck (as they did in 5.4.4 and earlier).

No hand-holding, just you and the dungeon.
