Tales of Maj'Eyal (ToME) is an open-source, single-player, tactical role-playing roguelike and action game set in the world of Eyal.
This is the Age of Ascendancy, after over ten thousand years of strife, pain and chaos the known world is at last at relative peace. The Spellblaze last effects are now tamed, the land slowly heals itself and the civilisations rebuild themselves after the Age of Pyre.
It has been one hundred and twenty two years since the Allied Kingdoms have been established under the rule of Toknor and his wife Mirvenia. Together they ruled the kingdoms with fairness and brought prosperity to both halflings and humans. The King died of old age fourteen years ago, and his son, Tolak, is now king.
The elven kingdoms are quiet. The Shaloren elves in their home of Elvala are trying to make the world forget about their role in the Spellblaze and are living happy lives under the leadership of Aranion Gayaeil. The Thaloren elves keep to their ancient tradition of living in the woods, ruled as always by Nessilla Tantaelen the wise.
The dwarves of the Iron Throne have started a careful trade relationship with the Allied Kingdoms for nearly one hundred years, yet not much is known about them, not even their leader.
While the people of Maj'Eyal know that the mages helped put an end to the terrors of the Spellblaze, they also did not forget that it was magic that started those events. As such mages are still shunned from society, if not downright hunted down. Still, this is a golden age, civilizations are healing the wounds of thousands of years of conflict, even the humans and the halflings have made lasting peace.
You are an adventurer, looking for old powers, treasure and glory. You boldly go in lost and forgotten places, untamed forests and sealed ruins. What will you find in this age of supposed peace ?

So, another roguelike, been out for a long time already, but development is still strong (new version out today).
A lot of classes (you start with 5 I think, but you'll unlock more as you play) and there isn't that many 'classical' roguelike deaths awaiting. But a lot is about tactics and playing intelligently.

TOME is one of my favourite roguelikes. I consider it close in quality to Adom and Dungeon Crawl. The default module is really good.

I've been playing this intensively in the last 2 weeks... hands-down best roguelike I've ever played. Don't be fooled by the graphics, the mechanics are well thought-out and pretty complex, with a multitude of (unlockable) races and classes.

Nice... I think TOME is severely under-appreciated. It's an excellent roguelike, with very deep gameplay mechanics and great replayability.

I still love it as much as I did back in 2011 (one of my earlier posts in this thread). TOME is one of the best roguelikes in my opinion. |
