About This Game

You're a great hero but who are you?

Sil-Morë is a tactical turn-based rogue-like role-playing game. You're one of the greatest heroes of the First Age and your task is to descend into Angband, the citadel of the Greatest Enemy, and bring back the Great Jewels from the Enemy's crown. Each run gets progressively harder as the Enemy bestows more and more curses upon you. Choose heroes, play to their strengths and employ clever strategies to deal with the ever-dwindling power of your characters as your true identity is gradually revealed over the course of the game.

Features

Descendant of the Angband family of games. Play an heir of a genre-defining old-school classic, created for the modern day.

Heroes of the First Age with distinct identities. Each hero is carefully thought out with lore in mind — and the game mechanics are made to follow, not the other way round. Sheer strength, weapon mastery, skillful smithing, or singing powerful songs — each hero has their own proficiency.

Tactical turn-based roguelike gameplay. Wipe whole levels of monsters or never kill a single orc — it's a choice which depends on your personal play style and on whatever your particular hero is good at. Devise clever tactics to overcome your enemies — or to slip past them, unnoticed.

Reverse rogue-lite progression built around getting weakened. Contrary to most rogue-likes, each successful run you get weaker, not stronger, as the Enemy gets angrier and curses you even harder. Plan your gameplay around it and choose heroes wisely as each hero can be played only once.

Curses, oaths, blessings, and storytelling. But if it becomes too hard, the Gods are to help. Each death contributes to a pool from which you can get blessed and helped with the next runs. And completing quests gives you powerful items and unique special abilities.

Sophisticated procedurally-generated maps. Explore orc fortresses, fiery forges, dark ritual chambers, dragon caves, and underground waterways, each with distinct architecture, environmental effects, loot, and visual style. The terrain can change while you explore: rivers may flood rooms, cracks can open, and lava can eat through walls. Torches crackle, water gurgles, and wolves howl in the dark. Sounds fade with distance, helping you judge what lies nearby, while even your footsteps change with your stealth. Watch the terrain and listen to your surroundings as you plan your next move.

Lore-shaped loot, artefacts, and dangerous equipment. You're in the citadel of the Enemy so don't expect nice Elvish swords lying around, those are actually hard to come by and are usually well guarded! Prepare to use whatever is at hand to survive, be it cursed orcish gear or items which can even hurt you!

Enemies that observe and adapt. Monsters patrol corridors, stand guard, and form groups under leaders to coordinate their attacks. They learn about the abilities they see you use and adjust their behaviour when a tactic proves ineffective. They also react to the changing dungeon and can build bridges to cross obstacles, so putting a river between you and your pursuers may not be enough.

A modern, customisable interface. Classic roguelike menus, pixel art, and the feel of an old book come together in an interface you can adjust to your screen and preferences. Contextual menus keep relevant actions close at hand, while tooltips explain the controls. Play entirely with the keyboard or grab a drink in one hand and use the mouse with the other—you can complete the game either way. An optional interactive tutorial explains mechanics, calculations, and tactical choices as you encounter them, with settings to show only the essentials or turn it off.

Built for handhelds, phones, and tablets. Play with a gamepad or touchscreen, with contextual controls suited to your device. Mobile layouts support portrait and landscape play, with menus arranged for smaller screens and dedicated layouts for tablets. The ButtonWheel lets you tap or press and drag to choose your movement direction precisely, including diagonals. Zoom in during a difficult fight or out to see more of the dungeon, and adjust the layout to make the most of your screen.
