Reaping the Dungeon (a.k.a. Dungeon Rogue)
Similar to other Roguelikes, Reaping the Dungeon is set in a dark dungeon. There are many strange gadgets for you to pick up, nasties to kill, and weapons to buy from shops. The sci-fi focus is deeper than simply changing names of fantasy items: while exploring, you must watch your oxygen levels, as well as collect various exotic plants. Although graphics is not important in a Roguelike at all (only inasmuch as the @ and # characters show up properly, I suppose), the graphics in Reaping the Dungeon deserves mention as being quite unique: it uses "enhanced" set of ASCII characters, which make them look better than standard ASCII without losing the charm of all-text games. If you like Roguelikes in general, Reaping the Dungeon offers a deep, randomized, and satisfying gameplay that is well worth the $16 asking price of the full version. Two thumbs up, way up!
