Men and the species of Drekh'nar once lived peaceful together on Earth, both not far away from reaching the stars with spaceships. Sadly, a misunderstanding led to war before these dreams could be realized. However, after a long and bloody battle, a peace treaty was created. This treaty forced mankind to go underground, while the Drekh'nar could stay on the surface of Earth.
Since then, ages have passed. Both species haven’t seen each other and for many people, the Drekh'nar are just legends. Mankind has lost the most of its technological knowledge, but it has developed a civilization based on respect and belief.
However, some people are still striving for more. One of them is Ahna, priestess in one of the underground settlements. Since her youth, she was interested in the old stories, in dreams of Sky and Stars. Her whole life she has researched on a legendary book once written by Yron shortly after the war: The Book of Stars.
Most people think that this and the other books of Yron are lost since centuries, but Ahna does not. Indeed she has found hints that may lead to the discovery of the Books of Yron - and therefore to the re-discovery of Earth and Space.
If you will help Ahna and find the Book of Stars in the depths of mankind's cave.

Terrific!
LambdaRogue is a terrific game. I’ve played it for a few hours now and I can really tell the game has been made with passion and dedication. The game features nice magical effects and plays a lot easier (in terms of control that is) than most other rogue-like games and indeed NetHack. I also like that the game informs you of which button to press in order to interact when for example encountering items on the ground of people to talk to. And the 'less is more' mentality is very refreshing after having played NetHack.
I will most certainly check out the upcoming new version!

Thank you! Especially for mentioning the easy interface, 'cause people always complain about it.

GREAT game but...
This game looks amazing, unfortunately, I haven't been able to get past the third dungeon level. Not because of the difficulty, but because it (v 1.4) has a nasty habit of randomly crashing on my PC. I can tell that you've done a great job from what I have seen though.

Details?
Oh. That's bad. Could you give me some details? Especially:

Awesome!
I just downloaded LambdaRogue a couple of hours ago. It's a lot of fun, and a great change of pace after the overly-complex ADOM and Slash'EM. The interface is well thought-out, too. Plus, there's music and sound effects, which is practically unheard of in roguelikes!
The only complaint I have is that the large tiles look really weird, like they're two tiles tall, but they're not. Fortunately, that's easily remedied by the small tiles or the ASCII mode, so it's not a problem.
Mario Donick, 25.05.2009, 22:33
Thank you! Well, this is a matter of taste, I think. The small tiles have the same aspect ratio, but it might be not so obvious with them.
postmanmanman, 27.05.2009, 02:22
I see. They DO have the same ratio. Well, it's less noticeable, and that's what matters to me!
