omega

omega is a complex roguelike RPG from the 1980s featuring both dungeon crawling and city exploration. Unlike most roguelikes, the game has a persistent overworld with cities containing guilds, temples, shops, and other locations.The game offers multiple paths to victory through combat, magic, or diplomacy. Characters can join guilds, worship deities, and take on quests. Movement uses hjklyubn keys.

Very complex with many keyboard commands. Permadeath applies. The learning curve is steep even for roguelike veterans.

omega was written by Laurence Brothers starting in 1987. It was one of the most ambitious roguelikes of its era, featuring a scope far beyond typical dungeon crawlers.
