Set in Ancardia after evil has been vanquished, the game sends you into the Caverns of Chaos as an asset of one of several competing factions. Your allegiance and character choices shape your approach to the changing dungeon.
Explore procedurally generated levels, fight monsters, and use spells, skills, or stealth to handle threats. You can also befriend or tame creatures, craft, graft body parts from enemies, and alter the surroundings by pushing coffins, toppling braziers, or smashing doors.
Choose from different races and classes, then develop your character across many skill trees and schools of magic. Death is permanent, while progress carries over to help future characters; you can also switch between ASCII or graphical presentation and different views.
The supplied reviews are mostly critical, often describing the game as unfinished and citing bugs, limited updates, or disappointment with it as an ADOM sequel. Some reviewers acknowledge its potential, broad character-building options, and flexible presentation, while one reports finding it only somewhat fun and disliking sudden hazards.



Endless procedurally generated dungeons, countless monsters, items and a grand selection of very different skills allow for unlimited replayability.
Interactive surroundings! Topple braziers, push coffins, smash doors or turn them into wooden golems to (hopefully) serve your bidding.
Choose or toggle between graphic mode and traditional ASCII at any time. Toggle between 3D mode and top down view, in ASCII or in the graphic mode.
Intuitive control system will get rid of the need to memorize hundreds of keys. Though you can still do so, if you're into that. We are not judging.
A great variety of classes, genders, races and allegiances to choose from allow for extensive build diversity and change the way the game challenges you. NPCs will react differently, new quests will be open to you and the world may change completely based on your decisions.
A deep magic system with several unique schools of magic and over 80 of spells to choose from, ranging from summoning demons to animating the very walls of the dungeon to aid you - the possibilities are endless.
Over 380 skills in 25 skill trees and dozens of secret skills trees that are only waiting to be unlocked.
A stealth system introduces a totally new way of playing the game: Instead of hacking or blasting all opposition to pieces you now can sneak past adversaries and avoid conflict.
Turn yourself into an abomination and graft your enemies’ body parts on yourself. They won’t need them anymore, and what's better than wielding two swords? Two swords and an axe to harvest more body parts than ever before.
Countless options of how to tackle the dungeons awaiting you. Befriend or tame creatures, slay monsters, delve deeper or keep exploring and expanding the cavern levels you have already found. Over 200 different foes await, each requiring matching tactics.
"Dying is part of the fun" - Each death is permanent. Your progress however will allow continuous improvement of future characters.
