Hi all. I wanted to make a thread to share my thoughts on Angband, and also to find out how everyone discovered it.
I've been a gamer since the tender age of, well, ever since I can remember. I've obviously played many games over my lifespan. I was always into adventure games, and have always been looking for the deepest, most complex RPG-type games I could find.
About a year ago, I found out about roguelikes one day while perusing the internet, and was instantly intrigued. I wondered how these types of games had evaded me for this long. They looked to be deeper and more detailed than any I'd ever played. I gave them a quick try, but for some reason, the awesomeness didn't kick in at first.
Months passed, and being increasingly jaded with mainstream game releases and they're lack of true gameplay, I once again decided to give roguelikes another go.
Then I found ANGBAND, and it clicked. I had found what I was looking for. This game is so deceptively simple, yet infinitely complex. I know I am basically telling all of you something you already know, but I wanted to put my thoughts out there for all.
Oh and DAMN this game is addicting.
Angband for life.
