Roguelike games have always been challenging. In our opinion, RPGs that have permanent death are the most challenging of these kinds of games. These kinds of games take the whole concept of grinding and turn it on its head, by giving challenges and realistic expectations forcing you into a situation where you have to consider your actions and decisions
While the majority of the changes since the last major version (2.3.8) are bugfixes, there are quite a few new additions to the game which you can see detailed in full here, including 46 new artifacts to discover and several new scripted quests scattered around the game-world. Probably the most worrying addition is the ominous sounding ‘Ultimate Nihilist Ending’, which I can only presume is a less than cheerful way to end the game, and the patch note “Tone down the frequency of vomiting darkness” doesn’t bode too well either.
Yes, it's true! The legendary roguelike ADOM (Ancient Domains Of Mystery) is being reborn as Ultimate ADOM. Furthermore, ADOM v2.3.8 is out now on Steam =)
