Full terminal support! (If you're on linux, you will probably need Mono 2.10)

This is the old list of planned features. Getting there!

Planned features:

    -Overall polished and clean-feeling UI

    -Interesting and varied dungeon levels

    -Balanced and fun skill/feat system including Stealth feats

    -Enemies that require different tactics

    -Lots of cool minor features (look around corners, cast a spell any time you'd attack in melee, catch enemies on fire, etc.)

A twenty-level dungeon crawl with a skill and feat system, originally starting development in October, 2011. The game features starting traits which define your special ability throughout the game on top of the skills/feats which you choose on each character level increase (and at the beginning of the game). There is a quick start system in place that will allow you to save past configurations for a faster start. There is a high-score system which is based on dungeon depth and player level comparisons. The game focuses on a clean user interface with many accessibility options such as quick slots, automated task options, key bindings and more.

Pretty interesting looking thing to suddenly pop up from nowhere!   8)

Future Plans:

    -0.7.0 - Gameplay improvement release: Balance changes, more traps, better handling of sound events, some improvements to dungeon generation.
    -Soon after - The last major feature: Templated special levels will appear once per game to offer different challenges.

I've played this quite a bit, as the creator hangs out in #rgrd all the time. It's very challenging game with a lot of depth in terms of skills/feats/combat. It's quite polished so far and he has even implemented some of my suggestions which is always a plus. You have nothing to lose, give it a go :)
