About Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup ASCII

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup ASCII (DCSS) is a free, open-source roguelike about exploring an endlessly unique dungeon, fighting monsters, and escaping with the Orb of Zot. This pure-ASCII Android port provides a classic, streamlined experience.

DCSS is considered by true roguelike fans to be one of the most tactical, difficult, yet fair dungeon crawl RPGs ever made.
