About:
UnNetHack is a variant of the classic roguelike game NetHack, designed to increase replayability and challenge for experienced players. It introduces significant gameplay changes, including a redesigned quest system, new monsters, and altered game mechanics, while maintaining the core dungeon-crawling experience. The project is currently in maintenance mode, but remains a popular fork for those seeking a fresh take on the original formula.
Key Features:
  • Redesigned quest system with new leaders and artifacts
  • New monsters and items, including unique demon lords
  • Altered gameplay mechanics such as foodless conducts and different spellcasting rules

  • Experiencing new dungeon layouts and monster encounters
  • Competing for high scores in a different rule set
Alternatives:
