DoomRL is a fast-paced Rogue-like game that's heavily inspired by id Software's Doom. As with many Rogue-like games, graphics are represented with ASCii characters, but DoomRL uniquely incorporates sound as well.

What's new? |
This release is dedicated to NEW content. There are several new special levels paired with the old ones for greater randomness! Visit the Military Base, find Mt. Erebus or feel the dread of Limbo. Along with new special levels, there are new level generators and enhancements to the old ones. For the pro-players, we have brand-new Dual-Angel and Archangel challenges (with a corresponding hidden Badge level), and Custom challenges for everyone. Be sure to also check out Gunrunner, the new Scout master trait! |

v0.9.9.7
v0.9.9.6 is available. Since there seem to have been some major additions, I don't know if it is still portable.
V0.9.9.4
Great mini-game, very complete and exhaustive! Good job.
Before playing this game, I hate graphics but after playing 30 minutes, I so like this game!
In testing both HQ and LQ versions of v0.997 BOTH use TILES AS GRAPHICS BY DEFAULT
AKA: Graphics are NO LONGER represented with ASCii characters
v0.9.9.7
