Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is one of the great modern roguelikes, evolving from the classic Dungeon Crawl and receiving continuous development from the DCSS community. Released in its recognizable form during the 2000s, it challenges players to descend through a huge procedurally generated dungeon, choosing races, backgrounds, skills, spells, equipment, and tactics while trying not to die permanently. There are enormous numbers of monsters and strategic possibilities, and even experienced players can meet an unexpectedly educational end. The game's depth is legendary, but so is its ability to turn “I'll just play one quick run” into an evening-long expedition. Your character may die; your curiosity probably will not.
