Hello #gamers. I'm up to playing an awesome #roguelike. Very turn-based gameplay, fantasy setting. Graphics optional, but preferred. Mac, web or emulation. I know about #nethack, what else is there?

@bouncepaw May I introduce you to Caves of Qud?

@bouncepaw It’s easily the best roguelike I’ve played (besides Cogmind, but that’s sci-fi, not fantasy, so it didn’t fit your request). It recently had a big UI overhaul that made it easily playable on the SteamDeck.

@bouncepaw Roughly in order of approachability... Brogue, Caves of Qud, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, ADOM, variants of Angband, Shadow of the Wyrm, Legerdemain.

@bouncepaw hi! I love roguelikes so much haha. I like more and less simple ones. You did Nethack, which is like the original Rogue, Angband, even Larn I love. Little more graphics, you might want to try Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (DCSS). I play ones on my phone (Pocket Rogue) and other more twin stick/roguelite ones (Nuclear Throne, Wizodd, Demons Tier+, Doomed to Hell). Rogule has a new one daily online. Lots are on itch. For online links to a lot of these I've mentioned (including a list of the itch ones), see the 'GAMES' section here (several of them, such as many of the twin sticks I mentioned, are on consoles as well): oldtimeywebportal.neocities.or

@bouncepaw I think no-one's mentioned Shattered Pixel Dungeon yet (shatteredpixel.com/shatteredpd github.com/00-Evan/shattered-p). I've played it on Android but there's many platforms available to download from the repo's releases.

@bouncepaw Tales of Maj'Eyal, Rogue Fable 3, Rift Wizard, Tangledeep, Golden Krone Hotel, and Path of Achra are ones to check out for sure.

Thanks everybody! I looked at almost every entry proposed (and will look at those I haven't yet). Some conclusions:

1. Most free roguelikes have the worst tilesets and/or UI. Sorry, I literally cannot afford looking at that with my vision.

2. Paid roguelikes look funky. Wishlished a couple, will get them when there is a sale.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon ended up being my choice for now. Pretty fun.
