https://drl.chaosforge.org/downloadsStarters / Beginners Recommendations:+ Brogue
+ TGGW
+ ADOM
+ DCSS
+ DOOM RL
+ TOME
Brogue & Dungeon Crawler Stone Soup & TGGW & DOOM RL are recommended for beginners.
Intermediate would be ADOM and CDDA. (But they're okay for beginners also).Caves of Qud and Cogmind aren't free.
& for CDDA, in the options menu, you can go to Graphics and change tilesets. I recommend Chibi UltiCa or MSXotto.
BONUS: Since many of these you can add a name (except Brogue). Make a character named Alunya / Rodina / NKVD chan or Stirner or Grace or Political Ideology Catgirls or Porky & tell us their story.
