One of my favorite roguelikes I thought was dead, namely Doom: The Roguelike, has received a major update two days ago. The additions include new character "traits" (skills), new items, a "medal" (achievement) system, etc. etc.

For a full list of changes, click here (http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,2279.0.html) and download here (http://doom.chaosforge.org/downloads)

Cool. Haven't played this in ages.

Love the DOOM comic quotes in the trait descriptions.

Me neither.  :D
I actually just randomly surfed the web out of boredom today and somehow landed on the DoomRL site.

I was playing the new version for at the very least an hour.

power went out, lost all my progress

 >:( >:( >:( >:(

Awesome! I thought DooMRL was dead.

The creator needs to post here more. :beer:

This game's awesome.

After reading the doom comic the doomguy character scares me to no end. They should have given him duke nukem style voice acted quotes taken from the comic in doom 3; it would have made things interesting.

Anyway, it might be time to give the DoomRL a try and finally confront my demons once and for all.

So, he actually added a trait called Gun Kata.

I agree.  :D
But for some reason, the audience for roguelikes 'round here seems rather small, so...

This is one of the best rogue-likes I have ever played. Wrote about it because damn  :gentleman:

Yeah, normally I avoid roguelikes due to boredom on my part.  I just ain't got patience when I could be distracted by pretty bells and whistles in other genres.

BUT DAMN THIS GAME IS AWESOME

I can't even...man it's just so...  :-* :wtf:

It's also fucking hard on harder difficulties. I have no idea how anyone could get all the Diamond badges in a single lifetime. :wtf:

Aw man I haven't even finished it on the easiest setting yet.  MUST KEEP AT IT!

Seriously, this game is so great.  The fact that I'm a life-long Doom fan/modder has *nothing* to do with it.

okay, maybe a *leeetle*  :whome:

Just played it for the first time for the better part of today. I have one word, uh, emote:  :-*

Spelunky popped my procedurally-generated cherry so I thought I'd take a rougelike for a spin. It's simple and elegant, and a great intro to the genre.

And then allen was a zombie.

Sometimes life isn't fair.

sounds like this is awesome.  too bad I have a mac :(

Event Cascade:  What a perfect moment for a BFG!

Bu-but he's on level 2...

This game is ridiculously addictive, I accidentally sank 3 hours into it  :epileptic:

It's a great game alright, but damn difficult. On the easiest difficulty setting i've only once managed to get to the final level and couldn't quite take out the final boss (armed with a BFG and advanced, modded rocket launcher). On the harder difficulty settings I get mauled quite quickly.

My favourite perk tree is shotguns -> army of the dead.

It gets a lot easier if you learn to use sidestep and running effectively!  To sidestep, just move perpendicularly to the enemy.  Press TAB to activate running - you can use it once per level (medkits replenish it) and it increases your chance to evade.

Thanks for the tips Derek.

i've recorded a full DoomRL playthrough (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcxtOzjuJzc) - medium difficulty, standard win, shotguns all the way

DoomRL 2 is in development!  :monoclepop:

http://blog.chaosforge.org/articles/34/doomrl-vs-doomrl-2

Anyone able to tell me how to complete The Wall on Angel of Marksmanship or Angel of Berserk? I have no way to blow through the wall, and they don't seem to break through either no matter how long I run back and forth.

There's a silver badge for doing it so it should be possible.

I would guess phase device in and then phase device/homing phase device out. I _think_ there may be a unique pistol whose shots are small explosions, so possibly that's an alternate method for marksmanship.. but it's been a while, that may have been a dream I had :)

i made another playthrough (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oua0VgI9ZlM), this time on hard difficulty

Effing hell.

I just played this for the first time. It's better than it sounds!

 :handthumbsupL: :addicted: :handthumbsupR:

This game is awesome!  Now I have to try to not play the new release here at work!

This is incredibly awesome. I downloaded it when I saw this thread some weeks ago and I've been playing it every day since then. Even though I suck at it I still keep trying. Highest level I've been on was level 12, where 5 darkred "O" shot me to death.

I managed to do this on AoB via phase device.. it was tense though!
