Welcome to AngbandOS

AngbandOS is a turn based game where you control a brave adventurer trying to rid the land of evil. You will start the game weak and inexperienced, but as you play you will gain stronger abilities and find powerful equipment to aid you on your quest.

Angband is a complex single player dungeon simulation. A player (you!) creates a character, choosing from a variety of races and classes, and then plays that character over a period of days, weeks, even months.

The player will begin their adventure on the town level where they may acquire supplies, weapons, armor, and magical devices by buying from various shop owners. Then the player can descend into the Pits of Angband, where they will explore the many levels of the dungeon, gaining experience by killing fierce creatures, collecting powerful objects and valuable treasure, and returning to town occasionally to buy supplies. Eventually, as the player grows more experienced, they may attempt to win the game by defeating Morgoth, the Lord of Darkness, who resides far below the surface.

Angband is a very complex game, and it may be difficult to grasp everything at first, especially if you have never played a roguelike game before. A key resource for an AngbandOS players is the forum, where you can ask for help, and also post compliments, complaints, suggestions, bug reports, and interesting experiences. Don’t be shy!
