Hordes of Tarshish is a massivly multiplayer roguelike. It is played in browser. Currently it is in an open alpha, so there are still some bugs to fix and features to add.

Story

It's been 120 years since the IdeA incident. The world has been plunged into an age of plague, monsters and radioactive wastelands. Just as society begins to rebuild, a new threat has emerged. A mysterious new creature has begun to appear. The only thing about the Lnrg, as they have become to be known as, is that they come from a place called Tarshish. Independent City Governments have begun to form to protect the assets that humanity has managed to scrape up, and they need more mercenaries to fight for humanity.

Development

Initally released as "Project: IdeA" in 2008 as a public alpha, Hordes of Tarshish has been in some form of development since 2005. It consists of a series of server backends written mostly in Perl and Delphi, and a client frontend written in Java. It is currently still operating as a public alpha with continuing development.
