Adom (ancient Domains Of Mystery)

Jul 14, 2019 ADOM (Ancient Domains Of Mystery) is one of the big five foundational roguelike games (computer fantasy RPGs). This is the official blog. Ancient Domains of Mystery (known as ADOM to the most avid fans) is a complex dungeon crawl set in the best tradition of UNIX megahit Rogue, and in many ways is a direct spiritual descendent. While other Roguelike games (e.g. NetHack and Unreal World ) emphasize plot, quests, and puzzles, ADOM retains and greatly expands Rogue 's hack & slash.

*ADOM (Ancient Domains Of Mystery)* is one of the most successful roguelike
games ever created, boasting a brilliant mix of story, RPG, exploration, and
intensely strategic and flexible combat. The Steam version adds various
Deluxe features like achievements, difficulty level customization and various
play modes (e.g. a story mode allowing to save and restore games, a weekly
challenge game, an exploration mode and more). ADOM has been in development
since 1994. In 2012 its development was revitalized with an immensely
successful crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, now allowing us to offer ADOM
both with ASCII and graphical modes enabling you to choose freely.
ADOM is primarily known for being the first roguelike to include vibrant
towns, NPC dialog, and quests, but it offers more than just a rich story line
in a complex fantasy world:
* a huge game world with hundreds of locations such as towns, randomized
dungeons, elemental temples, graveyards, ancient ruins, towers and other
secrets
* loads of races (dwarves, drakelings, mist elves, hurthlings, orcs, trolls,
ratlings and many others) and even more classes (fighters, elementalists,
assassins, chaos knights, duelists and much more) allowing for infinite
play styles
* hundreds of monsters and items, many with enhanced random features
* a corruption system forcing you to balance lust for power with fear of
damnation (corruptions slowly transform you into a vile monster but at the
same time grant inhuman benefits - most of the time)
* spells, prayers, mindcraft, alchemy, crafting and more
* dozens of quests and branching story lines
* numerous wildly different endings that might alter reality itself (simply
drive Chaos away or slay a god or even become an immortal yourself, and
others more)!
* various game modes (story mode to be able to load and save games,
challenge mode to face peculiar weekly challenges, exploration mode for a
free wand of wishing and more)
* various customization options (turning hunger off, turning corruption off,
modifying monster difficulty or treasure rates)

Ancient Domains of Mystery is a roguelikevideo game, designed and developed by Thomas Biskup, which was released in 1994. The player's goal is to stop the forces of Chaos that invade the world of Ancardia. It's identified as one of the 'major roguelikes' by John Harris.^[1]

Like the original roguelike games, Ancient Domains of Mystery uses ASCII graphics to represent the game world. A later version added the option to play with sound, tile-based graphics, and an overworld map.^[2] Most dungeons are procedurally generated, but once the game generates a dungeon, it does not change even if the player exits and re-enters it.

Biskup ceased development of the game for nine years and revisited it in 2012. He resumed work on a sequel, Ultimate ADOM. An engine for future roguelike games. Biskup first made an updated version of Ancient Domains of Mystery available to sponsors of his crowdfunding campaign. Later versions, beginning with v1.15.2.r60, he released on the internet and through digital distribution services.

Ancient Domains of Mystery takes place in the fictional world of Ancardia, in the mountainous Drakalor Chain. For 6,000 years, it has known relative peace, but recently reports have spread of the appearance of dangerous dungeons and frightening monsters. Khelavaster, a wise sage, discovers an ancient prophecy regarding the Coming of Chaos and propagates it to the peoples of the world. It speaks of a champion who will defend the world from the forces of Chaos in the Drakalor Chain. Hearing of this prophecy, many would-be heroes set out. The player assumes control of one such adventurer. Ancient Domains of Mystery has multiple endings which consist of closing the chaos gate, becoming a demigod, or committing a heroic sacrifice to stop the Chaos invasion.^[3]
