What is DrashRL?

Mt. Drash: The Roguelike, is a roguelike game based in the ancient game Escape from Mt. Drash; it tries to extract the main idea from the game into something more interesting to play and more related to the Ultima saga.

Both strategy and tactics are very important to survive, you must carefully decide how you want to shape your character, as the options are limited. There are no experience points or levels, all advancement is made by transversing the levels of the Arena. There are combat tactics and magic spells for a great variety of interaction types.
