I think what really elevates DCSS's tiles mode above many others are the preservation of information presentation and ease of use. The tiles, though only to me subjectively, are varied and detailed enough to looks good, but simple enough to largely preserve the detail and quick information advantages of ASCII. While many games have tiles options, no other tiles mode has quite the level of modernization while staying true to the source as DCSS does. The graphical style of the traditional roguelike, while interesting and charming, can turn a lot of people away. I wonder what I can accomplish when I make those numbers even higher." I know it's simple, but numbers going up makes by Goopy Goblin Gamer Brain happy, and I can't ignore that. DCSS has a motivating skill system that makes me go, "Well, I died, but I did make a couple of numbers go up. I pick up a couple items I can't use yet, and then die to getting paralyzed and dying because I attacked a floating eye that I was supposed to not attack, despite that being how I've handled everything up until now.

A big turn off for roguelikes for me at first was feeling like I accomplished nothing. I may just not have dove deep enough into other games, but DCSS has a skill system that is more compelling and clearly presented than I've ever seen. Just add a button that skips all the uninteresting walking and puts you right into a position where you can actually have fun, whether it's finding a mysterious scroll or fighting a new enemy. Roguelikes are slow and methodical where it counts, when you're problem solving and dealing with the various hazards in your way. The Zot clock is much more simple, transparent and interesting, tying into the greater Zot theme of the game.Įxploring empty, tight, dark corridors is boooooooring. Well, we can do it better, just ditch hunger and replace it with the Zot clock. Hunger is what drives you forward and disincentivizes you from dilly-dallying. Hunger is kinda boring, and is more of a nuisance that just kills you if you neglect it, but it does have its purpose. It manages to measure up to the rest while not being afraid to ditch things that may hold it back with its design philosophy. DCSS (and also Brogue to a lesser extent,) seems to be the thing that best balances the depth of the other greats with the accessibility of the modern games. On the other end of the scale is something like Pixel Dungeon that, while also fun, feels much more shallow.

I know its depth is what makes it great, but I can say I'm not quite ready to wade out into the deep end yet.
