Less is definitely more.

I was worried I would miss some of the features of other rougelikes, and honestly I think SOME more monsters and items would be cool, but even so I am finding I prefer the simplicity.

It might be possible that future updates add some items or monsters, but the number will stay rather low compared to other roguelikes. Earlier versions (back in 2006 and 2007) had hundreds of items, but these were only variants of standard items and not very interesting. Beginning with LambdaRogue 0.2 and more 0.3 I removed all items and created them new, intentionally in a "less is more" way.

Besides, the most interesting items are of course to find in the deeper dungeon levels wink

More important for me is to add more possibilities to use the existing items and to interact with the current monsters.

Agreed!

A great choice. I think you can tell, even from the first few minutes of playing, that LR has been designed with fun gameplay in mind first and foremost. Now that I've played a bit more I'm totally on board with the less is more philosophy.
