Most other roguelikes tend to have dungeons that are closer to a single screen in size. large dungeons - dungeon levels in Angband and other *bands are huge, sprawling affairs, many screens wide and tall.curse system - there are many different curse runes, which initially can't be distinguished from good runes until the player learns their effect (usually the hard way)."resist lightning", "slay animal") are denoted by runes, which are initially unknown to the player however, once they learn the meaning of a rune, they recognize it when they see it on other objects. rune-based identity system - object properties (eg.(Prior to version 4, the player would also get feelings about the quality of the items they find however, this has since been replaced by a rune-based identity system).
feelings - player characters in Angband have mysterious intuitive senses called "feelings", which can foresee potential danger on the current dungeon floor, or the presence of powerful items. This means that the resources available to the player are effectively limitless and you can, in principle, play forever. The game will always generate a brand-new dungeon level every time you go, with new loot to collect and new enemies to fight. infinite dungeon - a side-effect of the non-persistent levels is that the dungeon is effectively infinite - there's nothing to stop you from visiting the same depth as many times as you like and taking as much as you can carry away from it. This is the defining feature of Angband that sets it apart from almost every other kind of roguelike. In other words, you cannot revisit a dungeon level once you leave it it's wiped from existence and anything left there is gone forever. non-persistent dungeon levels - dungeon levels in Angband are generated when you arrive and discarded when you leave the game has no memory of the layouts of previous levels you have visited. The challenge comes from learning how best to deal with the vast menagerie of enemies in the dungeon, and knowing when and when not to take risks.Īlthough not the first in its roguelike line (that distinction goes to Moria, of which Angband is a descendant), Angband is the grandfather of an entire family of roguelikes collectively known as *bands, thanks to its relatively easy-to-fork source code.Īngband and other *bands have a few features that make them distinct from other roguelike families: To get to him, you must first descend through 100 levels of increasingly hostile dungeons, and hopefully acquire enough experience and equipment to defeat him. The objective of the game is to defeat Morgoth, the original Big Bad of Middle-earth. It has been in continuous development since 1990. Along with NetHack, Dungeon Crawl, ADOM, and ToME, it is considered one of the five major modern roguelikes. Tolkien's books set in Middle-earth, but with stuff from other games, mostly Dungeons & Dragons and Rolemaster, as well as original content. 
Angband is a roguelike game loosely based on J.
