    Classic roguelike graphics agumented with modern xBRZ algorithms for high resolution rendering
    Smooth scrolling
    Control with mouse and keyboard

Lost Labyrinth DX is a modern remake of the classic Lost Labyrinth dungeon-crawling roguelike. It aims to keep the unique feature rich mechanics of the original Lost Labyrinth game with new features and enhancements. The original game can be found at http://www.lostlabyrinth.com.
Lost Labyrinth was originally written in BlitzBasic and then ported to PureBasic. Now the game is completely rewritten from scratch in C++ and uses SDL2 along with new algorithms like xBRZ to scale old pixel graphics for modern HD screens. The game is now optimized for modern operating systems and hardware whithout all the legacy issues of the old game.

In addition the enhanced edition of the game features numerous new traits, spells, items, monsters and a lot of other new game content. Including everything from the Extended Edition of the original game! Lost Labyrinth DX is created by one of the developers of the original game and is completely free.
