A game of adventure set
in the first age of Middle-earth,
when the world still rang with elven song
and gleamed with dwarven mail.
Walk the dark halls of Angband.
Slay creatures black and fell.
Wrest a shining Silmaril from Morgoth’s iron crown.
In honour of what would be Tolkien's 120th birthday*, I'd like to announce Sil: a new roguelike set in the First Age of Middle-earth.
Sil is a descendent of Angband, but makes many changes. Indeed almost every mechanic has been significantly altered. These changes have had several directions: to make the game much more true to the world Tolkien imagined, to increase the tactical depth in combat, to reduce the length of the game.
Sil can be downloaded at:
