Lost Labyrinth DX is a traditional roguelike where you explore the depths of a procedurally-generated dungeon. Your objective is to get as far as you can before a monster or a trap inevitably kills you. Like other popular coffeebreak roguelikes, each game lasts somewhere between 15 and 30 minutes. Maybe a little longer if you're lucky. As usual, before you start a new game, you can choose from hundreds of different skills to customize your hero. Each set of skills enables you to play in a new way by creating characters like archmages, barbarians, paladins, rogues, and more. When you play with a magical character, for example, the experience is different than when you play with a more combative one. Once you've created your character, you can dive into the action. Unlike most games in this genre, in Lost Labyrinth DX, you don't gain experience by killing enemies but by advancing through levels, so sometimes it's smarter to dodge enemies than to kill them. So the deeper you make it into the dungeon, the more your skills improve. And again, you'll have hundreds of skills and spells at your disposal. Lost Labyrinth DX is a super fun roguelike that lets you play quick rounds whenever you want. In addition, although the game has nice and modern graphics, you can also play a more traditional ASCII version that's sure to delight purists.
