Stealth roguelikes?

[Avagart]

Sounds amazing! I have had this game on my hdd once, but I lost it and I forgot about this game. I never test Rouge.

Hi guys, there is new version of brilliant ThiefRL! It's called ThiefRL 2... Not very surprising, huh? Download here

Ah, that's good to hear! ThiefRL was a fun little game.

I miss the lockpicking feature from 'original' ThiefRL. And if ThiefRL2 has sort of campaign, save/load system would be nice...

but I can't seem to find one that has good stealth so far.Any recommendations?

That is one of my many beefs with exp/levels, at least with the traditional unquestioned exp-for-killing-things bummed from D&D games.

A good stealth player fails to level up.

I really like Sil's concession of half xp for studying monsters without killing them, and xpxp sorta works but I think Brogue's loot-based stat gains are more visceral.

Infra Arcana has some rather nice stealth gameplay. Especially if you play as a Rogue class. I know NON put a lot of work into the stealth mechanics. A new version was just released too.
