Player's Plaza / Roguelike humor funbook

« on: May 10, 2025, 09:22:35 AM »

We are all very serious about roguelike games and its hardcore gameplay.
But… sometimes it’s fun just to grab a tankard of miruvor and relax

Now Tangaria has a place for that — a new Races section:
https://tangaria.com/guide/races/

There you’ll find fun, comic-style descriptions for all 58 *hic* races.
Plenty of these descriptions fit well with other *bands too. I’ll keep updating this little funbook, so don’t forget to visit it from time to time

Hiho! I'm the developer of Tangaria — a free, open-source multiplayer roguelike game (MMORL): https://tangaria.com/

Tangaria combines the classic roguelike gameplay with MMORPG features: explore dungeons with friends, fight monsters, build houses, run shops, chat, duel (PvP on demand), and more. The game offers both graphical and ASCII modes, with a unique semi turn-based system — time flows dynamically or slows down when your character is in danger.

Many of you may have tried Tangaria before… and broke your teeth on it 😅 It’s always been a tough game — and still is — but with recent updates, we focused on making it more beginner-friendly.

Now, by default, you get extra gold as you level up, based on your Account Points (earned by progressing in past runs).

Prefer the original, no-handholding challenge? No problem! You can customize your experience using different modes. New modes include:

• Hardcore – oldschool style (no extra gold and Second Chance). 
• Ironman – escape from Morgoth’s jail under time pressure (zeitnot force-down mode). 
• Brave – start in Carn Dûm and explore Angmar dungeon without getting back to town. 
• Oldies Vanilla options: Force Descent, No Recall, Fruit bat

More info about game modes: 
https://tangaria.com/guide/modes/

I'll be happy to answer any questions about the game, roguelike history, or development — and as always, feedback is welcome

Cya in-game!

Hiho! I'm developer of Tangaria https://tangaria.com/ - free open-source multiplayer roguelike game (MMORL).

Tangaria combines the complexity and unpredictability of roguelike genre and social features of MMORPG: fight monsters together with your friends, chat, PvP (on demand), build a house and open a store to trade your goods with other players… with advanced real-time gameplay – you can 'slow down' time manually (with a hotkey) or make it flow faster.. or just use a default settings so game will become semi turn-based when your character is injured automatically

Screenshots (Tangaria got two modes: graphical and ASCII): https://tangaria.com/gallery/

Since my last post we had cool update - "Golem Delux" ( https://tangaria.com/news/golem-delux/ ) which presents new special race - Golem - designed for people who play without Numpad:

- Golem can not move diagonally; can only in straight directions (use regular 4-direction arrows), though Golem can move diagonally while in town;
- Instead of food, golems consume oil: from flasks, lanterns, light sources. Oil flasks now rare. You can drink oil by _ key (while not standing on top of fountain);
- Golem can build clay walls; one per time (as they can not use anti-summoning corridors like other races). It takes time and energy to build one;
- Golem resistant to poison; suffer a bit less from physical damage; can not suffocate in water; have less speed penalty due overweight;
- Golems are not resistance to paralysis anymore, but can overcome it sometimes.

...and there are much more stuff incoming See updates at our website and development tracker in Discord ( https://discord.gg/zBNG369 )!

You can take a sneak peak at how gameplay looks like at Tangaria youtube channel: https://youtube.com/tangaria
