I wrote a review for SewerJacks back when the game was released for a 7DRL challenge.

Corremn has just announced a new version with exciting new features and improvements, while keeping the spirit that made the original game unique and fun!

This roguelike game uses blood bowl rules (a football RPG system) to make close combat much more interesting, including teaming up with fellow sewerjackers, using terrain to your advantage, blitzing away or to the enemies, amongst lots of special characters each one with an unique twist.

What are you waiting for? a world of fame and glory awaits you in the sewers!*

* Not really

Take your failed Blood Bowl player down into the sewer depths and seek out fame and glory.
Show those team selectors what they are missing.
Team up with other ex-footballers to eradicate the filthy vermin found within or go it alone.
Pit your skills against chainsaw wielding fanatics, goblin bombardiers, dark elf assassins and goblin throwing trolls.
Ruthlessly destroy the undead or take on the tough dwarfs, the choice is yours.

Timofei Shatrov has released the definitive version of his game, which was born from the 2006 Orange October Minigun 7DRL challenge.

What can I say? what we have here is a fun, straightforward and nicely themed game, which may lack some improvements on the UI side but is otherwise very enjoyable.

Become stronger by drinking expired beer and sewer-cola, in you quest to recover all these green-green dollars. There’s a treasure down there on the sewers!

In this game you are a homeless person who descends into the sewers in search for treasure. The goal is to collect as much money as possible and return alive.

Ragnarok-Valhalla is/was a graphical roguelike game from the early 90’s.

I was surprised to find out a very well done remake project is under development by a group called “Alchemist Team”, under the name “NorseWorld Ragnarok”.

Screenshots look very nice, using a much improved UI over the original and including a nice looking isometric mode parallel to the classic zoomed-out + detail mode and an ASCII mode.

Overall, the game seems to have been adapted to modern gaming technology; there are lots of improvements, such as native linux support, a built in script handler and multilanguage support (currently russian/english, english texts are still being polished though)

The console mode is an absolutely awesome demake of the original UI, while still being a bit sluggish (seem to use an emulated console instead of direct real console access), I always wanted to see this game with a cleaner, easier to use UI.

The bad news: English version isn’t very polished yet, although it is at the DevTeam plans to enhance it. Godspeed for them!

The development of this game was begun at november 2002, as remake of Ragnarok game, created in 1992-1995 by Thomas Boyd and Robert Vawter.

In this roguelike-game, created on base of scandinavian mythology, you are brave viking, who must help the aces (the gods) to win in Ragnarok - the final battle against evil. This battle will determine the fate of nine worlds.

You begin in your village and can choose between the ways of viking warrior, woodsman, blacksmith, alchemist, conjurer or sage. Each way is different from others and has its own advantages and disadvantages, each new game is totally unique:worlds and their levels, lands, creatures, items and even merchants are randomly generated.

Ok, I can remember staying up late some years ago at a cousin’s house just to play this game. I really loved the way the world was simulated, and the vast number of skills and possible interactions. And just roaming the world free. (I love maps)

All right, I also remember hating the deadly-and-not-fun combat system, and the bizarre looking world generation, and being scared of the title screen “chants”.

But well, it’s been a long time since all that, and I just came to know the game has advanced a whole lot; seems the weird sector based world generation is gone and replaced with something much much better.

Now, all the alien-kicking marine gentlebeings running linux boxes have a chance to play Kornel’s creation for this year 7DRL (and further enhaced afterwards) AliensRL!

Greetings gentlebeings,

I got myself VMWare and a Debian distro, and started fiddling with linux on my own. After compiling DoomRL by myself for warm up, I moved to the most popular non-linux-ported roguelike of mine — AliensRL.

The King continues his check-mate quest with a new dev release of ChessRogue by Chris Morris

ChessRogue 0.2.1 is now available to download at http://chessrogue.sourceforge.net/ - the major new feature in this version is the ability to choose your own keys, if you don’t like the traditional ‘vi keys’, but there’s also a few minor bug fixes and interface improvements.

New in-dev roguelike. Screenshots and premise are interesting. Take a look at the Official Website, they just released a playable demo.

MazeCrawl is a roguelike game with brand new features and gameplay elements. It’s not as «heavy» and complex as major roguelikes (like Adom, Angband, etc.). MazeCrawl is designed to be rather easy and fun to play. What you see here now is a small part of the game made in two month time, which shows only main features and gameplay (in general).

DragonSlayer is a 3D roguelike Daedalus module similar to netHack.

Dragonslayer is a Roguelike game, that’s single player and turn based like other games in the genre, however the screen shows 3D graphics in first person perspective, like as in DOOM or Quake. Instead of fancy graphics for monsters, this is similar to a standard ASCII display, however with 3D letters chasing you around.

New roguelike game in Development. Action seems to take place inside some wizards mind. The game is still in early development.

With inspiration from a scifi novel, I was thinking a lot about how exactly people with telepathic abilities duel each other mentally.

Whether its just point your forehead in the direction you want to telepathy and then telepathy away, or if there is a whole world of organising ones thoughts.

This project has somehow managed to stay under the radar until now. Fairly interesting modern era / zombie survival roguelike game. Theme is nicely implemented with things such as windows, and lots of scrap furniture like chairs, television sets, etc.

Also, a zombie survival woudn’t be the same without it’s own array of modern weaponry and ammo, Kevlar armor and… kakis?
The game also has a hunger and thirst counter, so you can’t just hang around the city collecting the goods of the former humans… the escape bridge is to the east, and it will be a long, full of green C and Z, path. Good luck and dont run too fast!

You awake…

You wonder where you are for a moment. You realize that you’re in a oddly silent city. No cars. No planes. No people. What’s going on?

You realize that you have nothing with you. If you want to live, you’re going to have to survive on your own it appears; until you can find out what is going on. Find food, water, and shelter. How long can you survive in the city alone? Can you escape to the east over the bridges?

You begin to wander a bit, exploring your immediate surroundings, and then you hear something you have never heard before. Something like a crowd of moaning people.
