As you say, those have plot and more change-ups in gameplay to keep them fresh, but mid and late game Angband, at least in the more recent versions, is pretty engaging! I can definitely see the desire to just call this one and maybe revisit a later version when you get to that point, but FWIW on inventory and vaults: I've only played version 3.5 and later, and in those versions it took me maybe 3-4 weeks of playing (also conservatively, with no diving) to get my first win, which is probably like 50 or 60 hours - a commitment but way less than it takes to play Baldur's Gate 2 or a later Assassin's Creed game. Ugh, sorry it's been so much of a slog - I know I've been one of the commenters urging you on, but 30 hours to only get to dungeon level 30 doesn't sound that fun. Probably comes off as harsher than I meant, but making yourself miserable over something that's supposed to be a hobby (even if you are getting money for it) isn't a very good idea. And it obviously doesn't apply to people just copy/pasting games from Macintosh game repositories or something like that. As such you'd have someone to blame if it wasn't. Note, I said someone who has actually played the game. Clearly if someone's going out of their way to bring it up then there must be something to it. On the list, I feel like you should at least allow someone who's actually played a game and says you should check it out to check it out. I don't know if you plan on playing later versions of it, but if you do, you can give it its fair shake there.

I can say from my own experiences on the matter that the games that ask this much from you are rarely worth it. You've given it its 6 hours I think its entirely excusable for someone who's beaten the original Rogue and Fate, among many others, to give up on a game that makes him feel like he's on a death march. As far as the '80s are concerned, the only thing you haven't played is Melee (1989), which has a (in)famous developer whose story ties into Wizardry.įurther, I don't really see any point in you continuing to play Angband. While you haven't used it much, you do have a point on the sidebar that you can ignore amateur efforts without anything going for them. I don't see why you're agonizing over it so much.
