Steamband

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Steamband is a critically acclaimed variant in the Angband series of ASCII based, so-called Roguelike computer games. These are all dungeon crawl games with an emphasis on replayability; they collectively have a cult following amongst retro-gamers.

Steamband is set in a neo-Victorian steampunk universe and draws heavily from the literature and lore of the time. References to said literature can be found throughout the game and in fact, a separate shop in the main town has been deemed the library, serving as a repository for books found in the dungeon. Finding these books is an important mini-game in itself.

Steamband is maintained by Courtney Campbell.
