Summary
Angband is an open-source roguelike game where the objective is to survive 100 levels of the fortress Angband to ultimately defeat Morgoth.
The player starts in a town where they can purchase gear before beginning their descent. Once inside the fortress's labyrinthine structure, players face traps, enemies, loot, and secret passages. By collecting items and applying enchantments, the player can boost their offensive and defensive capabilities, and even counter certain types of attacks.
Angband focuses on combat and strategic resource management. The player has limited health, and once they die, it's permanent. While the game saves progress to a file, it does not let players continue from a saved game where the character has already perished. If the player defeats Morgoth on the 100th level, the game continues, allowing them to go even deeper. Each level is procedurally generated, ensuring a fresh experience with every playthrough.
