(Since SLASH'EM development is officially dead, I decided to become the one-woman dev team to create a NetHack variant based on it, and I figured "might as well post it here".) |

Slash'EM Extended (which is short for Super Lotsa Added Stuff Hack - Extended Magic) is a variant of NetHack with, as its name implies, many new features. It is the spiritual successor of SLASH'EM (by Warren Cheung), based on version 0.0.7E7F2, with various additional changes since.
Description
Slash'EM Extended can be described as SLASH'EM with some added features, such as:
- New classes
- A rearranged dungeon with a longer quest
- Many new variants of special levels (like the Sokoban levels), as well as added ones (like the Heck and Lethe levels)
- Lots of new monsters, items (including artifacts for many more base item types) and traps
- Randomly generated monsters and items: those will be initialized on game start, and the player will not know their attacks/effects in advance until they are found/seen in action. For example, in one game an amethyst dragon scale mail may give fire resistance and in the next game it may give cold resistance instead.
- Game balance fixes to reduce tedium and farming while increasing difficulty especially in the late game
- Interface patches (e.g. color-coded hit point display) to provide an enjoyable playing experience
- Inspired by ToME, the ability to play as a lost soul by using the "lostsoul" character generation option, where the player has to escape from the Halls of "Mandos" (Medusa).
