[[Caves of Qud]] is a post-apocalyptic roguelike inspired by worlds like those of Dune, Gamma World, and Gene Wolfe's works. It is an open-world roguelike, heavily inspired by [[ADOM]] and [[Omega]], providing a world map that combines static and procedurally generated locations with hand-written quests-lines. A two-tiered character creation system where you can play as a "true man" who not only starts  with better equipment, extra attribute points, and gain more skill points each experience levels but also lets you choose which Caste you are from, for example The Crustal Mortars of Yawningmoon, "Fuming God-child" will give  poison resistance as a perk or you can choose to be a mutant who have fewer attributes and skill points but have access to morphotypes which give either physical and mental mutations or a unstable genome which gives you three random selected mutations that you picked, when  you level up there is a 33% chance of gaining those mutations. Physical mutations include claws, multiple arms, and photosynthetic skin. Mental mutations include teleportation, psychic attacks, and time manipulation but as well as positive mutations you can get either physical defects, such as being albino or as much as spontaneously combustion to mental defects such as amnesia , randomly teleporting and having a evil twin that has a small chance of attacking you every time you come into a new location, in order to have more points into the positive mutations or to add more of a challenge.

Featured Roguelike: RiftWizard

Rift Wizard is a turn-based roguelike which focuses on spell-based combat and character building.

Combat in Rift Wizard is tactical and puzzle-like, with fixed damage numbers and no fog of war.

Upon completing a level, the player has a choice of 2-4 rifts, all leading to different procedurally generated levels. Levels vary both in the loot they contain, and in the enemies that inhabit them. Matching your next rift to your build- and vice versa- can be the difference between victory and defeat.

Players gain skillpoints from completing levels- of which each run contains only 25. Thus players must be quite careful with their character builds, balancing their near term needs with long term goals, while also balancing versatility with synergy.
