Katachthonios Desmoterion is a wacky roguelike game based on Angband and an old Angband variant that used to be called "Kamband". Desmoterion is a somewhat fresh perspective on the roguelike genre with a few original ideas. The goal in writing it has been threefold: one, merge Angband with a few Nethackish and post-apocalyptic elements; two, make the dungeon a bit more interactive; three, rewrite parts of the Angband code I didn't like.

A few interesting features of the game:

  • Based on the time-tested, stable and well-written code base of Angband.
  • An extensive linked-list inventory system.
  • Very flexible magic system.
  • Item damage and materials.
  • Religion, corpses, quests, wilderness and other fun stuff.
  • Lots of strange races and classes.
  • Wacky monsters.
  • Lots of bugs.

P.S. "Katachthonios Desmoterion" means something like "underground prison" in Ancient Greek.
