Aw, so many downvotes for ToME...

Ok, let me bring my previous question back again: what's your favourite (one, not several) and why?

I can see that ToME is by far the most popular (seen many lists like that).

But does that make it the best one?

I imagine it happens the same as with World of Warcraft a few years ago. 13+ million people playing, but not the favourite. Just had a very addictive gameplay for casuals, but no deep systems of anything. People loved Guild Wars or EverQuest (1&2).

SO ToME is the most played because it's the most accessible (great tutorial, popup system, unlocks), but ADOM is far deeper, altho it's extremely limited.

This is my impression, am I too far off?

For now I'm learning ToME (love it, lots of variety and seems quite deep). Higher Arcane Sword, I think it's the race/class

When I need something more chilled, I play UnRealWorld (still tutorial, so much to do and learn)

Would be awesome a good one for Android, for my wasted commuting time.

Been playing CRAWL for the last few days, very nice indeed, but a bit "simple".

Now trying out ToME (still downloading), will let you know.

Is ADOM that hard to grasp? Too many trips to the wiki?

Which one is your favourite and why?

Thanks lot for the excellent suggestions.

Will spend the rest of the week trying them and will let you know!

here's some roguelikes I recommend, but they don't meet your specifications entirely:
Crawl, TOME, Angband, ZAngband.

Thanks Elig, could you please tell me which one of these has more random content and is easiest to pick up?

By random content I mean dungeon level maps, always different, not only mobs and objects/loot

Thanks!

But which one has the highest amount of random generated content? I want a completely new adventure every time I click "start"

Good morning everyone!

I have been playing a few RL a few years ago (mainly Castle in the Winds, for Windows 3.11) and recently came back with gems like Dungeons of Dredmor, FTL and Binding of Isaac (I know these two aren't real RL, but still...)

So I decided to dig in the genre with games like Pixel Dungeon (android version of Brogue), but looking for something slightly more complex.

This is a list of what I want:

- Random generated levels (dungeons at least, all world too if possible)
- Extreme randomness in items (new unidentified items every game)
- If possible, tileset (not a graphics whore, but need to admit that ASCII is a bit of an eye-sore)
- Easy to pick up, but mainly no need for an external guide/forum/wiki to understand what's going on or what do I need to do
- (not mandatory) No class system, I need to feel customization without finding myself "locked" to a spec/build

That's all I can think for now. I checked ADOM (too complex) and currently trying out UnReal World RPG

Any ideas?
